hair line scratch

[Oliverstacy]

Hey Killy...where did you find that ugly Bear bow...probably has a scratch by now, better send it to me I'll treat it nice!  If you do send it please don't read below the next line.    

Wow what a bow!  Killy stop here!

I agree with the rest...I shot compounds for 23 years...they are short even at 37".  My first traditional bow was a 62" Martin Savannah, guess what...IT'S LONG!  I couldn’t move without hitting it on something, ceiling, floor, work bench, posts in the basement, basement wall, kitchen table, cat (granted the cat lost), trees, treestands, tree steps, rocks, targets, truck, friends…I could go on.    

All character marks I keep telling myself.  I got my first custom recurve, I took it out of the box with excitement and proceeded to put the tip into the ceiling admiring the bottom limb.

Man, (or should I say, Woman!) Killdeer, you must have dropped that riser really hard to get all those deep scratches in it like that.  Some folks pay big money to get fancy engraving and you just haul your bow out to the woods.  

To get back to the original post:
I had a friend who went hunting with me and dropped his rifle onto the stock of my new rifle.  At first I thought my head would explode but then brushed it off because accidents happen and I loved that guy.  He died not too long after that at a young age and I never got to hunt with him again.  That dent in the black walnut doesn't bother me at all when I see it now.

Bull in a China cabinet!

I'm right there with you Oliverstacy. I've been shooting trad for most of the last 20 years but just now got my first custom bow. I thought I'm going to be very careful with it and do my best to not put a scratch on it. Well, like you, I've been bumping it into everything in sight. It's a huntin bow and it's going to get scratches on it. I just need to stop worrying about it.
