You would be hard pressed to find a finer bow like you describe than a 60" Whistler or a 64" Whip by Dan Toelke!

Maybe this works. Anyhow prolly my sweetest bow yet. The full draw a bit over 28 and got a couple inches left

Was gonna post pics. How you do it now? Been awhile for me. Always changing

Curious how others in my...ahem...age range deal with progressive bifocals while shooting?

My anchor and sight line tends to push my vision into the progressive section which blurs the view. I had Lasik years ago, so my distance vision is still 20-20. Solution now is I just take my glasses off to shoot. While that's okay for practice its a pain if I need to see any Up close detail, like for fussing with a string nock, or to read in a tree stand, or see my phone etc. 
I was thinking I might get a second pair of glasses with a hard line bifocal?  Have them move that section of the lens down low so it would be usable, but not mess up my shoot'in eye!
Might just be a me issue?  Anybody else deal with this?

Quite some time ago, there was a short lived fad that involved impregnating arrow shafts under pressure with tung oil as a way to get heavier shafts.  I did it for a while.  As I remember, when they came out of the pressure tube most of the POC shafts were 100 grains or more heavier than when they went in.  But they bled as they dried and ended up closer to 50 grains heavier after drying.  That drying process took at least a month under fairly warm, sunny conditions, with a fair amount of wiping between.

After playing with the pressurized stuff, I took to just wiping on several coats of tung oil. Usually, 5-6 coats were required to get the coverage/finish I wanted. Don't remember the glue I used, probably Bohning or Duco, and it worked fine as long as the finish was totally dry.  If it wasn't, the glue didn't adhere well. 

Ultimately, I decided it was more trouble than it was worth and went back to harder finishes. 

I was just going by what the guy that gave it to me said. He got it as a graduation gift when he was in high school and he was class of 1962 so it is really just my estimate.

Quote from: Ruttinghard on Today at 07:44:55 AMI would use 3 blade heads, if I could get the darn things sharp! I am a bit sharpening challenged in general though

I thought I was as well. Switched my sharpening method for my VPA 3 blade heads.

Grabbed a 6" pvc pipe & a bunch of different grit sandpaper & a piece of leather.

The 6" pvc pipe puts a steeper blade angle vs laying flat & sharpening that way. Makes my VPA's FEEL significantly sharper!

Toelke can build you a bow much sooner, be pretty hard pressed to find a better longbow (or recurve) in my opinion.

Brian Wessel makes stellar bows as well, not sure about the wait time

Just got this from Pappy...
