Those are some great pictures Charlie.  Definitely a thousand words or more in each!

Steadman,

There is a treasure chest of Traditional Bows Drawn on my personal (non-commercial) website (in a special section listed in the Menu) that I have been gathering for a few years now. It consists of 22 pages of 60 pics on each page - yep, that's over 1300 trad archers at full draw. I would guess probably you could count on approximately half of them being recurves. The pages are all in thumbnail pics but just click on any/all pics for the larger version (of course). I probably will capture/save (I did) all of these nice ones too - but it will be a while before I get to post this many at one time to my pages.

You (anyone) are welcome to take a look-see, as so many others have enjoyed doing (you may even see some of those of Charlie there already      :D     ) - anytime.

Ha - this thread did me good too (besides the new FD pics for my pages). I went to make sure I was actually working on page 22 of the Traditional Bows Drawn pages, and accidentally found that my guest book link has been working again - after a couple of years of not working - though I wasn't even aware it had been fixed -      :D   Is that a Duh, or what?

Dryfired... That's a picture of me almost 30 years ago when I lived in the state of Wyoming.

The story behind the picture is more about the picture itself than the circumstances under which it was taken.

A friend and I were out scouting for whatever we could find, varmint calling and shooting ground squirrels.
We climbed the promontory in the picture... an isolated hill out in the sage brush desert that an old timer had told us about. He said it was a great place for bobcats and we called it "Catrock".

Calling produced nothing so we decided to take a few pictures because it was a neat place. We actually shot several different exposures of that same pose.

Later while going through the slides (slide film)I culled this picture because of the black spot that showed in it.

It was many, many years later that I was looking over those old slides when I came to this one again. In a moment of crystal clear flashback recollection I remembered that day, the smell of the sage brush and the golden eagle that circled lazily
around us.

So it wasn't just a black spot on the film, but an eagle hunting for it's next meal

And that's the story of that picture.

That is a great pic Schafer. I could use it if it had the whole bow in it.
Here is one I've done so far. Enjoy!

Very Nice looking design!
Here is a very simular picture but slightly different

Charlie, thanks very much for relaying the story of your photo. It is one of the coolest archery photos I have seen. You look deadly.

Steadman, great design! I'd be happy to wear that on the front of a shirt. Even on the pocket of a shirt would be cool. Here's another pic

That decal would look good on the rear window of my PU Truck.
