when the chips are down, zero hour
« on: July 23, 2010, 08:04:00 PM »
When the chips are down, zero hour has arrived, it's all on the line what bow do go to. While standing at the bow rack with my hand shaking it go's towards a hybrid longbow made by a local bowyer. I know her well she files the hand with a comfortable weight. A neat little 58" bow pulling 55 ponds at 28 inches made by Miami Valley ( Rick Wrey). What's your go to bow?

My Bear greenstripe takedown is the go-to bow now. After I refinish my old A-mag it may be a toss up.

I shoot a longbow for fun, but I shoot the Bear takedowns with more accuracy.

Black Douglas super swift.
Hunting was hazardous, but at least it guaranteed the freedom of the individual.

There is no doubt that the onset of farming saw the end of leasure for the majority of people, who were destined to toil in the fields.
