Anyone know if Mr. McDonald will be at any of the Michigan shows/shoots in 2013?  

I was lucky enough to shoot a couple of his bows at Compton last year...seems everybody who came over from Wisonsin brought a Big River with them!   It was lust at first fling    :archer2:   .

Sorry Charlie!! Between work, moving snow and spending the last weekend of hunting at the farm, then to Green Bay to watch the Packers win, has not been much time to be on the PC. Well the bow shoots like a dream.Smooth and quiet and powerful. At 15 yards it is driving the new arrows you made me almost a foot into the big foam target.
The one thing I am not sure of is some of the arrows are going into the target at a angle. Mostley from the right. But the arrows are hitting their mark. I have some fletching to fix now. Guess I need to practice more. Hope to get out tonight for the last night of bow deer hunting.

well at least I ended the season on a high note of seeing 7 deer tonight. First 4 were 2 doe and yearlings, but to far out for a shot. Next I looked down and the cutest little yearling standing there. Did not have the heart to draw back. The doe came a little further out.I drew back on her, but a branch and a pine bow covered her vitals. I held till she followed the yearling. I sat for a little while longer,till darknes was settling in and I made the decision to call it. As I was packing things up I looked to my left and there stood a big doe at 10 yards. I reached for my arrow and it was not there, I went to get another from the quiver and I guess it was enough comotion for the doe to leave me hanging on the side of the tree wondering how I screwed up my last night with stick and string!! But weather was great for being January in WI.and I saw deer, another plus. So the night was not all bad. Now the wait for next year to redeem myself!!
