Going to Texas

[Mike Yancey]

Here's the stuff that's making the trip to Texas next week. My sinew and rawhide backed bows with some sourwood and cane shafts with some new stone points made for me by a new knapper I am using now Stephen Cooley. These are some real nice points, I just mounted them yesterday and shot them today to see how they flew on the shafts.
Good stuff!

Mike:

Real beauties.  Best of luck down in South Tx.

What do you shoot the stone points into without fear of breakage??  I'd be skeeered to shoot those beauties into anything with much density.

Thanks,

[**DONOTDELETE**]

Good luck Mike to You and everyone else in your hunting party.

[FerretWYO]

Good luck Mike I always look forward to your storys.

[FerretWYO]

we got to talk about your bows one of these days too.

Mike,
 Those are beautiful bows and arrows.
I once lived in Campwood, which in the same county as Rocksprings, (Edwards).

Ya'll should have a blast, especially deer hunting. The average there is around one deer to every six acres, and it's not unusual to see lots of Exotics roaming around. The fun thing is that you never know what will walk by offering a shot.

I hope you're taking more than the 5 arrows  

[rastaman]

Beautiful bows & arrows!  Good luck to you guys and girls!

Mike,

That's cool, I've hunted not too far east of there.  Nice country and should be warmer this time of year then AR.

If your route brings you our way, stop by.

Rocksprings is very nice. About a 2 hour drive from my place. Good Luck

I have a bunch more arrows Billy, and D. I shoot them into a foam broadhead target then run a new line of flakes after I'm done to sharpen them if needed, but you have to shoot them to see how they fly. Randy we can talk bows anytime.

Good Luck Mike! I love the paint Job  

[Mudd]

I want to thank you for sharing with us! I also look forward to your return and the follow up thread.
I will make it to Texas or somewhere to hunt out of state(God willing) this coming year. I need to keep it on the "Cheap" especially if I'm gonna try to take the "Woogchilde" along.

Nice work Mike! Hope to see you at the MoBoJam.
God bless,Mudd

Great looking bows and arrows. I would also like to learn more about your bows when you get the time. Thanks for the pictures.

[JMartin]

Good luck! I love that country down there, I'm betting you're gonna love it too!

[marshall brown]

Beautiful bows Mike. Could You give us some info and specs on them?

[Mike Yancey]

Marshall,
 Both bows are 60-65 lb @ 26'', sinew and rawhide backed 52'' long one is osage the other is vine maple. The osage is 1 1/2 wide with antelope sinew and rawhide and antelope horn overlays on the tips. The vine maple is 2 1/4 wide with elk sinew and antelope rawhide. The vine maple is a real fast bow as it has no deflex only reflex. The osage bow has deflex off of the handle then going into reflex to the tips. It is a real sweet shooter just not as fast as the other.
