Absolutely a top shot right there Basinboy, nicely done indeed.

Nice looking bow too !

What is a Persimmon?
I'm guessing it's some kind of fruit tree?
Is the fruit edible for us humans, or is it just pig tucker?
Is the wood used for anything?

Don't recall seeing or hearing of them over here.

Persimmon does bear edible fruit, although I’d have to Google it to find out what you use it for. But the wood was (and maybe still is?) used for making smoking pipes.  It is a very hard and gnarly wood, structure is like tight burls. It was also the primary wood used for golf clubs - the driver and fairway woods, (Hence the term), prior to the switch to metal “woods”.

Yes it’s a very good fruit when ripe. Wood is used for many things as well as bows. I plan to build a Selfbow out of it someday.

Perfect shot!
Plenty of hogs here in Florida. Where are you? I really need to get me and my equipment sorted. I'm really looking forward to getting out there hunting and hopefully putting some meat in the freezer!

Might Google it and see if I can find some here in Aus.

Best to all this Christmas season
