Title: first blood with new self made longbow
Post by: eman614 on June 05, 2009, 07:31:00 PM

i decided that i was going to make myself a longbow this past spring so i drove from georgia all the way to linneus missouri to visit kennym and to get the would for my bow.(that wasn't my only reason but, thats another story) well i made the bow and this was the outcome (http://i561.photobucket.com/albums/ss60/eman614/bowpictures073.jpg)  and this is its first blood (http://i561.photobucket.com/albums/ss60/eman614/bowpictures110.jpg)about a 15lbs carp from lake clarks hill. pretty good start for the new bow. can't wait till fall
