Need a break. I think I can.. I think I can..
« on: December 09, 2011, 08:17:00 PM »
So my bow collection has gotten a little larger recently and it just seems like I always have a bow that I "need" to practice with. Not to mention my favorite bow, a Bama Custom draws 80# and I love to shoot it. Anyway, Ive sort of worn myself out and need to take a break from shooting. So I decided to refinish my baby cause its the only thing that will keep me from shooting it    :biglaugh:   I still have meat in the freezer from the PA red tag season and the farmer whos land I hunt just slaughtered a bunch of animals and gave me enough protein to last till arbor day. Not to mention I cant fit another thing in my freezer. So  I cant morally take a deer when the larder is full right? So no shooting till the finish job is done and no hunting till Ive eaten all this meat. Man I got it rough.

Sure sounds like tough times.    :bigsmyl:

I'm also refinishing a Bama Hunter I bought used, and a Pronghorn, and a Pearson Ambusher, with a Beeler up next. I'm keeping busy while recovering from a motorcycle accident. After those bows are done I'll be doing up some woodies and a dozen bamboo arrows. I love this stuff!

I can't shoot many arrows yet, but I'm thinking about taking one of my longbows for a walk in the woods next week scouting for winter bow. Gotta get out.

The best part is I decided to refinish my bow with some water proof spar urethane I had left over from some wood arrows. Going on day 6 now and its still tacky and only one coat on the back!! Darn it.
