Osage and Cedar=
« on: May 01, 2011, 07:18:00 PM »
Shot this beautiful tom yesterday morning. 56" sinew backed Osage w/ water mocassin skins, 50@28. Cedar arrows with MA-3 head. 1"spurs, 8"beard and had to weight around 25lbs. Big for a Merriam.

Congrats!
An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward.So when life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means that it's going to launch you into something great.

That's a major score!  Great bird.  I'm jealous.

Nice job, Jason, on a great looking bird.  Very cool to take it with a selfbow, quite an accomplishment.
