1 refinished Bear, 12 newly finished woodies, and 2 knot heads.
« on: January 19, 2016, 06:29:00 PM »
I posted back in late December about this little 25# Bear Ranger that I refinished for my son.  I figure my daughter could share with him for now, and I'll put a pink string on it for her when my son moves up to my 35# Black Bear in a year or two.  I also posted a few progress pics this month of the arrows I built for them, and just finished them up.  We went out behind the house today for a little stump shooting and to try to wear some of the new off of the bow and arrows.  Wish I could say the last picture is their shooting, but that was me at 15 yards getting the nock point set right.  Matthew does ok around 10 yards, but it's still a little heavy for Natalie.  Anyway here's a few pictures of all three; the bow, the arrows, and the knot heads.

Nice photos. You did well on the refinish.  Good looking kiddos, and good on you for getting them out!

Bow, arrows, kids, all beautiful!
You put a smile on my face this morning. No mean feat, as I am loafing at the Post Office before starting work.
