Man I love old bows ( Video)
« on: July 31, 2009, 04:28:00 PM »
Hello guys, I made a small Video today  just playing around and it because a hit.. In just under an hr I had 314 people take a look at it.. well guys I just wanted to share with you great people here on TG.. The bow I am shooting is one of a kind( which makes me think I shound not shoot it) This bow was gave to me by a older friend who lived in the same towm I do.. He made bows back in the 1950s.. He made one of each all on 4 diffent bows forms.. Which he gave me..( which soon I will be useing to make some glass bows).. I only so far have two bows of his.. As his son's would like the other's.. So I just wanted to share his little pice of history to you guys..


Take Care,

Cody     :archer:

Cody, buddy, hate to point out the obvious.... that building is needing a few shingles here and there. They don't last long without a roof. Good shooting.

Hey Cody, how cool is that green glass?  That is something from the past I would like to see come back in style.  It is amazing how well a 50 year old bow can perform.  Thanks for sharing the video.

Cody I really really enjoyed that.  I have never seen anyone hold there finger on the arrow and shoot the way you had to for those behind the back shots.
I have always liked Dan Fitzgerald and one time he was going to show you some unusual positions he could shoot a longbow from, but I missed the show and was really bummed.  
You can bet your bippy I would be having somebody else fix that roof too, cuzz that dude is steep.

I may be a farm boy.. But like you say Mo.Huntin.. I will let some one eles fix the roof...LOL...

Focusource- I sure would love if they made green glass once more.. I love the stuff and I would use that over any other color glass....

Hey Cody,

Took a look at your profile to see where your from. I like a man who is honest enough to admit that one of his interests is college girls! (Just funnin' ya)

That is a good looking bow. You seem to settle in to it just fine and shoot it well.

Great video, too.

Enjoyed the video Cody, Shooting over the back was awesome. That bow still has plenty of twang left, great job. Mark  :thumbsup:
