We had an absolute blast this year.  Just beat the storm home, now to see how much snow we are going to get dumped on us.

Two Tracks, I watched them split out the stave and start the bow. Gary has always got something up his sleeve.

Chuck @ Two Tracks " I had to help string it a few times".

OK Chuck, Just how many guys does it take to get it strung?

Pat, That Gary does always have something up his sleeve. I call him the spoon, cuz he is always stirring something up. What a piece of osage that is eh? about as clean as you can find.

Tom, My Grandpa Al from Canada would grab the handle area and do the heavy lifting(he is kinda short but very stout),A custome made stringer was used.  Matt W would run one end of the string and I would do the other. Maybe one or two extra guys tossed in there for safe measure. The length of the bow is really the killer or that 120#'s would be no problem to push pull.  :saywhat:  
So to answer you question, 3(or 5).

Thanks for the inside scoop! I was really wondering if I could get that strung by myself if I needed too. Good times!

Thom, You and me are pretty long in the wing span but that bow is just a wee bit longer I reckon.
