Any of y'all paint designs on your bows?
« on: December 17, 2009, 09:24:00 AM »
Hello all,
I wasn't sure where to post this question, but here goes. I put some Celtic designs on the outer side or face of my longbow. I just wanted it to have my own sort of touch on it. Any of y'all do that?

I wish I could post a couple of pics of it, but this won't take pics off of my computer.

I hope you can see this because if you can you'll understand why I want to see your designs.
God bless,Mudd

Hey Mudd,
It did not come through. I am going to try posting a couple showing me holding my bow. I am dressed up in m Hyborean archer outfit (yes, I am a devout Conan and Robert E. Howard fan). BTW, I have lost around 45lb since these pics were taken.

Anyway, you can see the design I drew on my bow.

Ha ha ha!! Your legs don't look as bad as mine. The picture I wanted to get posted was one of me in my kilt. You are one brave soul my friend.
 It is so very true... no guts... no glory!!
 Thanks for sharing.

I guess the sword is handy when the bear you just shot, gets mad and attacks!

Thanks y'all,
Remember, I have lost about 45lbs since those pics were shot. And yes, the sword is a battle ready Viking sword from Museum Replicas, Ltd., the "Stickelstadt" sword to be exact featured in their catolog. The helmet is 18 gauge steel and is a Viking helmet also from MRL. Too heavy to wear long and not for archery either, the center piece blocks my vision in one eye when I draw my bow like that. The costume was just a hobbie, a supposed outfit from Conan's Hyborean world. Just for fun. I don't wear any of that hunting, just wear regular cammies, etc..

But now, for real, when bow season first starts on Oct. 15 here in Alabama sometimes it still so warm and humid, or at times I should say, that one time I shot a rabbit wearing nothing but flip  flops and jogging shorts, no shirt, nothing. But that is Alabama's fickel weather for you.

Hey Gordon,
No, I don't hunt dressed like that. That is a hobby of mine, Conan's Hyborean world. But in that last post I mentioned how one time when it was downright hot I walked a dirt road in nothing but flip flops, red jogging shorts, and my bow and quiver. I killed rabbit like that.

And "Y'all" is short for "You All"!
"Y'all" sounds downright "purty" don't it?!? LOL

Can't quite figure which might be scarier.  Running into you dressed and armed like in the picture or red shorts and flip flops.    :eek:  

Sorry, couldn't resist!  :p    :p  

Anyhow, back to the original question, I haven't painted up any of my bows, but your's sure looks cool and gives me ideas!  :thumbsup:
