Started a cleanup campaign in the shop today. It was the worst it's been in... ever. Big fire going now. Nothing like a raging fire in the heat and high humidity

Had run of breaking bows the last couple weeks. Hopefully my streak of bad luck is done. Glued up a riser to replace a broken one that almost broke my thumb. Gonna have a G10 Ibeam this time. Also glued up a boo backed maple core osage belly bow. hopefully this one will live. The boo backed walnut and mulberry exploded at 20 pounds.

Done with the repair, the bow shot really well, hope it holds up.

Nice job, Eric.

Bob, both were caused by wood that shouldn’t have been used in a bow. I thought I would try them. From now on if I have any doubts it’s not getting used.

Here you go, Roy. I'm not sure about the placement of the nocking point on this bow because I haven't shot it in years. It looks a little high to me. I usually initially set the nocking point 3/8" above horizontal and fine tune from there. This is how I nock over the nock point and you can see from the pics of the self nocks on the arrows I like them big so they do fit loosely. You will see plastic nocks in the pics. They are old arrows, some probably 20 years old. I still shoot them but I don't install them on arrows anymore I just use what I have.

Nice pat and I love the view out the windows....

Pat B · « **Reply #1713 on:** June 21, 2021, 10:54:33 AM »

...and to think I have to look at that every day.

Pat, you’ve got the same issue I have in that the trees are hiding the mountain. I’m getting too old to undertake any big view reclamation project and the chainsaw work I must do is interfering with bow shooting. Now we have severe thunderstorms in a few hrs soooo…probably more chainsaw, less bow.

Bob, we had 2, 24" red oaks blown down this past fall and winter, both fell away from the house thank goodness and had a 24" white oak taken down next to the house to be on the safe side. My chain saw has been busy but our firewood for next winter is well taken care of. I'm lucky that I can still do it at almost 71.
Both my wife and myself feel closed in in the summer around here. The green curtail has dropped. Come late fall and winter it will all open up again and we won't feel so closed in. I guess we could have worst problems.

Can y'all send me some of that firewood? A Red Oak 1" x 8" x 8" costs $86 here

Just got back from retrieving a couple trail cams that I set out last Thursday. They were up high near 11,000' and I wanted to see if there is any activity up in my area yet. Nothing yet but they'll be moving up soon.

This trail cam thing is new to me. It's kinda fun 🤪 downside is the distance i have to go with them!
