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 Today at 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.

Quote from: Bryan Adolphe on March 14, 2026, 12:29:39 PMJust an update ive had good success with this product only draw back is the sun doesnt shine very often in the winter months and its to cold to cure outside so had to order some UV cure lights and its working well , 3 quick coats, light sanding in between and ready to finish in about an hour.

Have you tested this by letting it cure overnight in 80-90 degree temps?  Some of these sealers will shrink. I've never seen this one before. Do you have a MSDS sheet on it ot tech data on exactly what this stuff is? 



Never mind Bryan, i found the data sheet.....   This is polyester resin and has excellent solids for filler.
Is this the same product you purchased?  I couldn't find one that said "Grain sealer filler".

Brandon Stahl use to swear by polyester grain filler for a base for gloss finishes.

Nice set up, Roger.  Looks great!

A few more pics.
The Armbruster and Howard Hill are heavy bows - all the others are 45-50 lbs.
