Colton, You did a fine job on your bow, and  you should be proud of it. I know this combination is not a popular one, but it eventually will once enough of that fine Utah Juniper gets spread around a bit.

I hope you try another one in a longbow style and a bit longer. I made one a couple years ago from Juniper near where you live and some local bamboo, and lets just say it performed beyond my wildest dreams...Scientific testing with witnesses included..  "Booniper" is the local name for these bows, and I'm real glad I have some pipe straight logs of the wood for future bows when I get a chance..


keep up the great work!

Thanks Rich  :) I plan on trying a "booniper" long bow now  :D I have a great stave just waiting for it. And plenty of boo so I'll have to try that.

Also thanks everyone  :)

I'm not sure he could have missed with all the cactus there. I'd like to see him try to eat one of those things. :D

colt,

   i like the shorty bows...   very cool looking bow you got there...    and as for eating that kill....   

my harratige eats those things all the time...   we call them nopales.

what you do is get a sharp knife and shave off all the thorns..and scrap the skin just a bit
then slice them into long strips like green beens and then they get real slimmy so you wash them off real good and then boil water with a bit of salt,  and then when water is boiling, you through them in and boil for ten minnets...

then you get some meat some ground or thin steak meat and brown the meat with some oil and then make gravy with water and flour and add the water and flour to the browned steak and then once you got that like a stew you add the nopelas (thin cut cactus) and simmer... little sliced oninons and some garlic and maybe a little hotsuace for the kicker..   and some corn tortilla's and maybe some rachstyle beans and your good to go!!! ;) :D :D ;D

damn now im hungry..!!  :D
