I’ll be bringing my uncles old bow with me this year. He passed a year ago. I did lots with him. Last real cowboy from NJ if you ask me. Tough as nails, didn’t pull punches or mix words. His heart was gold though. I was working this winter at my cousin Bucky’s house (his son). I wouldn’t accept anything but lunch as payment. As I was leaving he asked me to wait a second, wanted to show me something. Was his dad’s old Bear. Was too heavy for him. 50lbs at 28”. He asked me if I’d take it and shoot a deer with it this fall. I did take the bow, he had it sprayed black, I’m leaving it that way. I made a string, changed the rest for shelf material and we’ll be out this fall. I can’t wait to send Bucky a pic. Here’s one of the first shots I’d taken. It’s shooting Wapiti tapered cedar, thinking grizzly or bear glue on heads. Thanks for everything Uncle Andy.
