i had an interesting day, saturday my trade(for recipient) got stolen along with a few cheapo lam bows(refinish project for bowfishing), my sons osage stave that was just starting to take shape(luckily he's been grounded for a few days and don't yet know, hope to get a new one and replace before i have to tell him.)
well, one of the officers calls me up this morning to tell me nothing new, but was wondering about trad archery. well then, come on over and we'll shoot. we spent a few hours playing in the shop, half the time with my 1yr old in may arms, luckily my hunting bows were in the house and not stolen, though they were a bit on the heavy side for a newby, but he did pretty good. by the time he left i had written down this sites addy and helped him pick materials for his first trad bow. once everything gets here, i will be helping him along to build his first bow and wood arrows, then coach him on shooting. he has hopes of going hunting next year with it. feels like a good day so far. wonder if my wife would mind me finishing it off with a 2# t-bone on the bbq?
