What's the specs and details on that NM Shelton Burnsie?! Good looking stick!

I had his 21st century clone as you described it.It was excellant.

Sorry to hear about Ned,Don Nettleton.We bought and or sold a few bows with each other.

God bless Ned.Great guy!

Just thought I'd get some others thoughts on John McDonald's bows, may he Rest in Peace.  I've got a Kodiak clone recurve that was my first custom bow, and still dearly love it.  Have a 21st Century clone radical D/R longbow that still amazes me when I shoot it.   Finally, have a moderate D/R longbow that I got from Don "Ned" Nettleton, prior to his passing.  All these bows are superb specimens and preform better than more expensive versions.  I'm sure there are some others out there who will chime in.

Excellent shirts for this year's Classic, Pappy. Miss Joanie has good taste! 

Hi everyone,
This is Celeste from ETAR, Joyce's daughter. Some of you might remember that Joyce has been fighting ovarian cancer for almost 6 years now. She's still strong, in spirit and in faith, although weaker in her body. Her quality of life has been phenomenal compared to the dire predictions that she's gotten, and she still tries (and usually succeeds) in getting 5,000 steps a day! However, her doctors stopped her treatment about a year ago and has recently gotten some bad news.

We would appreciate your prayers, first and foremost. We're always praying for a miracle, as well as some relief from severe pain.

She sometimes spends her sleepless nights reading encouraging comments on Caringbridge, the website that she uses to post her health updates and keep friends and family informed. If you're interested in following her or letting her know that you care, the link is below. It will make you sign up but they don't charge you or send lots of annoying emails!

If you prefer the more physical card route, I'm holding a card shower for her. Her address is
Joyce Knefley
4652 US Rt 6 West
Ulysses, PA 16948

Please send cards THIS WEEK if at all possible.
Thank you all and hope to see you at ETAR !

Quote from: McDave on March 15, 2026, 07:05:33 PMProbably would work fine.  The only way you would know for sure would be to bare shaft tune, because a 1916 would possibly need a longer or shorter shaft to work with that setup.

Your setup seems a little too light in bow weight for hunting, and a little too heavy in arrow weight for target.  What is your objective here?

So, 481 grains is light?  That is 12.65 GPP.  Or are you saying 38 lbs is too light for hunting? This is a hunting bow.  Bare shafts are perfect and it is ready for turkey season.

NICE!  I'm in NW Arkansas.  If you ever want to get together and stick some pigs just let me know.

GOT THE t shirts in, I think everyone will like them.
