Sgt. Kirkendall,

As soon as these dry and I get some tips on them and get to the PO they'll be headin your way. You can see the undried glue on the feather tips.

What's the AMO and the # of your recurves?

 

Thanks to SuperK for selling the shafts already wrapped in patriot colors!!!!.

Bud, those arrows are almost to pretty to shoot!  
The bows that I will have here are 52" and 58" amo, both being 50lbs on the draw.

I want to thank everyone again for all the positive comments and generous contributions. It means alot to us over here.

I'll start looking around to see what I have for the new range.

Awesome arrows Bud!

These arrows are spined 50-55 so that'll be perfect. They are a bit short at 27.5 BOP, but the point is well over and inch long. I shoot these shafts out of my 50# @ 28 Super Grizzly. At my full draw the points are on the shelf. I just shorten my draw a bit for these.

I went stumping with some other Ramin shafted arrows this weekend. The abuse I put them through (poor shot. hitting all kinds of stuff) these should last you a while. I'll sent a stick of hot melt glue also along with a few extra points. They hold straightness pretty good also.

These have now dried up so I might be able to get them out this morning.

Stay safe Aaron and pass along our support and prayer for a safe return for all.

My brother in law is on his way back now from Afgh. He is supposed to arrive back at Bragg Friday.

Here's to America's newest Greatest Generation    :thumbsup:      :archer:

I had a tube just suited for shipping but it would only hold six. And in the rush to pack and get to the PO before I have to be at work I left out the extra points. Sorry.

Here's the maiden shot of the seventh. I'll keep it treasured knowing the six other companions will be safe with you all.

Again, stay safe over there. Come home soon.
Bud

Anyone with info on the progress of the second range that was initiated? I have a local bow club that might be interested in sending some supplies.


CavScoutArcher,

You out there? I pray you are safe!! Let us know what you need in equipment.

Hey Bud,
Sorry bout the delay. Missed this older post!
Plus it has been starting to pick up quite a bit now over here now that the weather is breaking and that summer is upon us.  

The range is doing good. I have a constant growing number of soldiers who want to shoot and are interested in our sport. I have already realized that our starter range that we built is too small. (I wasn't expecting such a good reception/turnout) So we have bigger and better plans in the work.  
I have some pics of us in action and some of your arrows. they fly as good as they look. I will try to post up some pics here today!
Thank you again to everyone who is and has contributed to our range.
Aaron

Great pics! That looks like a Red Stag 3pc. I sent one of those to Vern. Good shooting bows.
