I did cringe a little bit when I put the bow in the drill press.
I just made sure it was squarely through the handle overlay so that if I ever want to I can just grind off the overlay, add a new one and voila, good as new.
It does seem to make a difference in my bowfishing as I had very few misses. Maybe it was just because I'd developed a habit of snap shooting when bowfishing and I've been working on curing that little snafu.
Regardless, it's smooth drawing, has plenty of power, and fits my hand just right.
I moved around to a few different places after this story took place and it became increasingly more difficult to get to the water.
The main north/south highway is now closed with water over the road and any side roads are blocked by barricades and National Guardmen.
My old house in town is flooded up to the back deck and the river has finally inundated the high side of town.
The misses and I are safely tucked into our new house some 200 ft above the river bottoms.
I'm shifting my focus to squirrel hunting as soon as I get rid of this dang tennis elbow thing I've got going on.
So stay tuned.
