Almost pulled off a bear Thursday. Never gave me a clear shot and he ended up running through my shooting lane than stopped and walked off. Talk about exciting!!! Would have been awesome to take a bear with the cheetah!

Does anyone know a good source for leather to wrap a handle like on a Lightning or Harrison bow? The stuff they have at 3R does not look anywhere near as nice. Thanks.

I’d start with either Tandy Leathers or Buckle Guy.  Also, Clay Hayes did a cool video on YouTube that shows how to make that style of grip.

Hope everyone having a great season, with the ASL.  2 Does so far, working on the turkey for Veterans Day or Thanksgiving.

Those grips you are looking for are made by an English company called Fairway. Used to be the number one tennis grips. You can find on Amazon. Good luck.
Keep flinging those shafts!

Out shooting the whisper yesterday. Such a nice bow. I need to spend more time
With it. But it shoots awesome. Seems almost easy if that makes sense

Even took it out to do a little ground hunt in this thicket that I seen 2 good bucks slip through there last week. Being only 64” it makes a great little “bush” bow :)

124 years ago today Howard Hill was born.  Glad to see so many are keeping his spirit alive.  Keep the pictures coming!  :campfire:

This "part two" thread has been running for over ten years, with over 300 pages, time to start part three!
