YEE HAW!! WHOO HOOO!! Oh, scues me, I'm shakin a bit. Got a honk from the mail carrier today while playin in the yard w/ my youngest boy. I thought, "This has to be a good sign." He pulls out a long damaged cardboard tube and gives me a speech about insurance. Being the same guy who has carried several boxes of rock up to me while I knap on the porch, he inquired about the contents and we proceeded to talk about bows and their care...he left and I took some picks of the damaged box and opened it on the end. Next I slowly pulled a beautiful fully undamaged osage character bow @ my perfect draw and weight, #41@26", with a linen? string!!!!!
Fishfinder, you are THE MAN! This has got to be the most exciting gift I have gotten since getting mt first shotgun @ age 14 in 1984!! I've never even shot a self bow, so have a bunch of care instructions. First off, I heat w/ wood here in Indiana, the humidity in my main room is @ 34% right now. Where should I store it? can I brace it now or let it settle a few days? I can see where the lower knot was tied, then I'll use a stringer like any other trad bow? Man I'll be checking this site a lot today I bet.
I got one pick for now, will change pages and post more later.
Noel, Thanks a million Buddy!!! dpgratz
And to the rest of you here on PA, "We's some lucky Mugs to have a site like this!!" THANKS!!!!!!
