glad to hear you all had a good time. As we all know it is not all about taking a big buck or doe. It is about archery and the fine people you meet in life. Maybe next time out that buck of your dreams will walk by. I spent the weekend in the bow shop with last minute hunters who just need arrows or a new bow for the opening on Oct 14 down state NY. I did get a chance to shoot about two hours over the weekend at 10 yards in the shop. In between making arrows or putting a new WB rest assm on a compound bow. Also sold some of the new fiber optic sights on compounds this weekend. JUst for info I got 3 new bows in from Alpine archery impact XT compounds at 3.1 lbs with nothing on them, that over 2.5 lbs less in weight than when I was shooting my old Jennings compound. They sure have made great strides in performance. But I think we also see that in just the longbow and recurves that we all shoot. MY first ben person fiberglass was 60 lbs and to put it togethers you put one halk of the bow into the handle, then threw if over your leg to get it strung. I think it was several years till my Dad and I knw about a nocking point and we did glue leathers as a rest on the bow. A doz arrows from Herters was $12.65 for there new tan fiberglass arrows with 5 inch feathers. That old Herters catalog was in the bathroom and the highlight each spring was when the new catalog would come in....

That's still got to be 3 pounds more than Drew's Turk.      
I also got to try first hand the art and craft of Mark Baker and Eric Krewson. Two beautiful osage selfbows that Ken owns. Awsome work...     . Having built a few wood bows myself I can only aspire...  
Thanks all, and good luck to the guys going up next weekend,
You will love it,
Aram
