My Week with Bama Stans left handed story bow......I KILLED A BUCK!!!!!!
« on: October 17, 2005, 09:06:00 PM »
Getting familiar with it,I ve probably only taken 5 shots with selfbows before I got this bow....
     

     

Had to go to the hardware store to get some stuff for my taxidermy shop.Picked up 4 5/16 dowels.Two were spined right at 50#,straightened with a screwdriver,stained,sealed,fletched without a jig and trimmed with scissors,and were arrows by the end of the afternoon.Shot good with WW on the business end.Time to go hunting......

     
 
These were just dowels at the hardware store this morning...

     

I decided to go "no camo" and take as little as possible..."A la Ferret".....

     

More pix to come of the hunt....

Glad you got it and were able to make you some arrows!! I did the same thing with some 5/16 ramin dowels. They actually shot pretty good!

Good luck with the bow!

Oh we can't wait for the conclusion...Sure wish I had some of them real turkey feathers laying around. For some reason in my mind Jason's signature pink fletching just don't seem to go with that selfbow or the self nocks we had planned. Then again he's the one who will be shootin Stan's bow and his brain is programmed for the pink feathers. Maybe it will be a deadly combination... Now Curt blood that thing and take the pressure off my boy.

Beautiful bow and the arrows too. If anybody could blood that bow Curt can do it. So I wonder if it's off to the apple orchard?

I'm sure gonna try...as you can see I got a bit nostalgic today.I'll hunt the rest of the week this way.Plaids and solids,I have a bin full of plaid cloths I save for hunts like this(I only hunted in plaid for years).

I'm the 3rd guy to get the bow,"Yleecoyote23" and "Razorbak" had it before me.

This bow is very,very different than I'm used to shooting.So,It's real tough getting used to it.But I did shoot it pretty well out to 20yds yesterday.The biggest thing with me is I shoot with a straight wrist,very loose.This bow feels like it's going to jump out of my hand at release everytime,the grip is very small.I've actually dropped bows before at release.One someone elses longbow on the concrete floor of Joe Skipps shop!!
 I also always shoot my curve with a full bowquiver,so all that weight is missing too.

I should be back out tomorrow somewhere..here's more pix....

 

 

 

I didn't see a thing.I was hunting behind the house,few deer,but it was worth a shot.Hopefullt tomorrow I will go to a spot I know that's loaded with deer!!
