TallTines Longbow Field Testing
« on: October 06, 2010, 10:58:00 PM »
I finally made it out to the Iowa timber last Sunday evening to do some field testing with my new 3 piece T/D longbow.  About 1 hr into the extensive field testing session this doe stopped quartering away at 25 yards.  Seconds later and about 50 yards away she crashed in a ditch.  It was a great way to start the season.  The little longbow was pulling 57#'s and shooting cedar arrows with Woodsmans leading the way.

Mmmm mmmm mmmm corn fed backstraps!

That picture shows off the limbs real good.  I don't know how you get such high performance out of such a traditional shaped limb, but I am glad you do    :thumbsup: .

Good work Brian, which kind of saw dust cover scent did you use. Cocobola, Bocote or Yew?

Way to go bud, I was hoping you made it out to get some relaxing time.  I think you need more field testing time don't you?  Ha ha...
