Does anyone know how to post pics with Photobucket?

Thought I did but one of us has gone nuts.

Mark & Pat..............

With your info the wife was able to post some pics.
This bow turned out very nice, straight up 55# and perfect tiller. 55# is too much for me so no full draw pics, I did manage to short draw the bow for a dozen or so shots and it is whisper quiet and fast.

Thanks guys for the help

James
It's a pain
In photobucket click on the pic so it goes to full page of that pic, click on the copy thing on the right, watch it say copy, click your  back button (the arrow pointing left at the top left of page)
now find you pic again, sometimes it get's lost,but find it,click and hold on the pic and drag it to the tradgang tab and release in your post, right click,paste

It gives me problems too
That's what works for me
and hold your mouth right when you do it.

put your curser on the pic and click on the cog that shows up at the top right. Click share then click on link then click the IMG code. It will turn blue then right click and copy. then x out and paste the pic on the message box.

This old Martin Mamba was well worth the time and effort to restore. Hopefully this old warrior will have many more years in the field.

Good job, on that one, James. I love to see those old bows salvaged.
For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. Ephesians 2:8-9

WOW! i can not thank you enough james.  :notworthy:

looks amazing and no doubt she's still a shooter. i can't wait till she heads bush once more. this was dad's bow and the bow that got me into trad bowhunting. it'll be special to be hunting with it once more.

again, my sincere thanks.
