Raineman, sure was good of you to stop by my camp at B'more. I would have liked to throw some arrows from that Super-K of yours!

Killdeer  :bigsmyl:
Long, long afterward, in an oak I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend.

I would have enjoyed that Killdeer. It was great finally meeting you and Clark and the gang. Seems there is never enough time to get it all done, is there?

Unless I get some ridiculous offer, I'll have her with me next time we meet. I'm sure she'd love a round with you.

I have tried to read the instructions on this site as to how I'm supposed to post pics on a forum. But I just can't get it to do right. It might be different because I use a MAC. ???????????

I have seen K-Hunters ad K-Mags with what is described as dog-leg design.  They seem to be more substantial than the regular Hunters and Mags.  Is the dog-leg design more desirible and are there functional reasons for/against one design over the other?  Lastly, what are considered to be the best years for Mags and Hunters built in Grayling?

Thanks

well there were no K-hunter doglegs. But I would say that the best k-hunters and k-magnums were the ones of the 60's. But the ones from the 70's are also great bows. Most people don't shoot the doglegs much. They are now desired more for collecting.

Posting pics is quite easy...Most sites have the tools to upload pics, some do not as is the case here and with my site.

join a site like "photobucket" and you can copy and paste the image to a thread here.

 http://www.photobucket.com  is free to register

It's real easy to do once you've joined. Upload your photo's. once done the photobucket site creates image addresses.

copy and paste the IMG "address" into the actual thread and the pic will load automatically when you post. essentially you will have two internet windows open on your computer. This site and the photobucket site allowing you to copy and paste pics to your hearts content.
