The right shoes make a huge difference. the LL bean maine shoe is the very best I have found.

The G. Fred Asbell book, Stalking and Still hunting is one of the best purchase you can make to learn the method.

I agree with ChrisM that the Maine Hunting Shoe has a great sole for stalking. It's very flexible rubber with the chain link tread. You can feel a lot in these boots.

When it's relatively dry around here I hike around in these. Woolrich plaid Converse All-Stars. They are a great shoe to stalk in, but I haven't tried them yet in a hunting situation. Usually a little too cold, but they are incredibly quiet and flexible.

Plaid shoes. It don't get any better than that. Too cool!!!

Like Chris said, the Maine Hunting boot is hard to beat, they are different from the regular Bean boots in that they have a softer sole.

In Florida and Louisiana I wear Bayou boots. Very comfortable

When the weather is warm enough, you can't beat indoor soccer shoes (I wear Sambas) for flexibility and sensitivity.

Ill have to try some of those shoes out. I would wear toe shoes but I'm afraid of stepping on a copperhead or something

Uncle Howard's old Indian way of walking quietly with any type of shoe/boot makes for the quietest walking/staking for me. I have used it for years and once you get used to it, it becomes second nature.

Anyone know what kind of finish John Shulz used on his Ol'Favorite no glass longbows. I've decided to keep mine and would love to learn more about it. It is Yew backed with bamboo with a high gloss finish.

New Cheetah arrived today. 66", t/d, 55@28, with cocobolo riser. Juniper limbs are all I hoped for; very nice! Took it out and shot it, and it is going to be a winner; silent, hits with authority, and has some handshock but nothing that will be a hindrance. Either I tolerate handshock well, or it just isn't that bad.

Gotta love that juniper, congrats, very nice,,,,,, I thought Cheetahs were supposed to be fast? I can't decide which model will be my next Hill, either a Half breed or a Cheetah....... or maybe a Rhino, it's so hard to decide!

Long stick...I have heard he used automobile clear coat material.

Long Stick, Why don't you contact David Miller of Miller longbows, and ask him?
He was a student of Schulz, and makes up a bow patterned after the Schulz Favorite.
Congrats on keeping it!

Pat... that's a sweetheart!

Long Stick i asked Miller the same question before he told me Fuller plast.

LongStick64 · « **Reply #12936 on:** February 12, 2013, 08:41:00 AM »

Ralphie,

Thanks I just sent him an email, I appreciate it !

Pete Patterson · « **Reply #12937 on:** February 12, 2013, 10:13:00 AM »

Ya'll stop bothering David! My bow is due to be finished this month....

Ralphie · « **Reply #12938 on:** February 12, 2013, 10:59:00 AM »

Maybe you are right Pete.
I am waiting on a Hawk.
Also due ..... way past due actually.

Pete Patterson · « **Reply #12939 on:** February 12, 2013, 12:55:00 PM »

Oh no, Ralphie, "way past due"? Wish I hadn't heard that. :confused:
