Bryan you do come up with some awesome bows.  A Morningstar is on my wish list for sure.  By the way, was up your way trying to locate some pigs on a ranch at Dickens this week.

Rob you were close by.  There's more pigs than people in Dickens!  Stop by anytime you are around here and give this Morning Star a test run.

I actually saw more people.  Hunted hard for 3 days...saw lots of where they'd been, none of "here they are".  With all the rain there were a lot of playa lakes that were running in the 10's of acres so hunting tanks was out.  Did a lot of still hunting, etc., the only thing that died was a buzztail.  Beautiful country.....always enjoy the panhandle.

Dang right bout that round bale.  I knocked my one tooth out rolling it in there.  The good news is I will just pull the cars out and let the goats in when I'm done with it.  They don't mind an occasional field tip...

I got to do some more shooting today. Really hot and muggy but good times nonetheless.
Today I brought out my JDBerry vixen. I just love how this bow shoots and it being my first built for me custom it holds a special place in my heart. When I hold and shoot this bow it just screams classic longbow.

 
 

My four year old got in the action with his 7 Lakes nite light 2

My new-to-me Dave Johnson came today:

   

Bowboy_ar (Jason Luper) mailed it Friday. Not too bad for a shipment to Alaska!

The bow is named "Whitetail Magic", and is 66" 51#@28",  though it's specs have the weight as 43#@27". I haven't scaled it myself, but it feels the same as my Misty Dawn, which is 66" 51#@28".

The grip is 2" deep, which is an 1/8" deeper than my NM Classic and Misty Dawn. You wouldn't think an 1/8" would make much of a difference, but does fill my hand perfectly.

I've only shot a few arrows so far, but I think it's a keeper!

Sunday is the beginning of elk season here, and my Cheetah will be in hand. Who of the Hill bow bunch will be chasing game this year? My Cheetah is 55@28, and I will be using POC with big Acme heads up front.

Centaur, I'll also be getting after em with my new Cheetah and cedar arras. This bow fits me to a tee, and shoots fast and where I aim.I have some nice shooting long bows, but this thing just blows them out of the water.Best of wishes on your season. Elk steak sounds real good!   :thumbsup:
