For Those of us NOT at KZOO this weekend...
« on: January 28, 2012, 04:52:00 PM »
Whats everyone up to? Wish I was there...but I'm not. So while there are threads going of Kzoo, lets talk about what we are doing while wishing we could be there.
I have an awesome Brackenbury Shadow I'm starting on. 51#@28",62" bow. Gray actionwood riser with bubinga stripes and accents. I was told this was one of the last bows Jim took the order for before he passed on. He was a great guy, I shot with him a few times Going to make up some antler burr knobs and skin it up with either rattlesnake or copperheads. Not too sure of copperheads over gray actionwood, its kinda dark....but these copperheads have great color and may pull it off..I'll work with it a bit.

What are you trads doing?

As much as I'd like to go to that expo for me it is just in one darn out of the way location.

I took a stump shooting hike in the Arizona desert this morning.  Just me, my Big Jim TC, and the quiet of the Sonoran desert. There are worse things to do than that.

I fletched up some arrows while I'm waiting for some Kzoo pics to be posted by those who able to attend.
Do not follow where the path may lead.  Go, instead, where there is no path and leave a trail.

The old Bracks are nice. My first custom was Legend Wes built after Jim's death. I have a friend with a brown shadow that arrived the week Jim died.

I spent the morning shooting my longbow.

Sitting in a stand for one last time this season. We wind it up on the 31st. Debating now if I want to take a doe (given the opportunity arises) or just go home, give thanks for a good season and get some rest!

Well I did get some woodys stained this AM.While in the shop I went ahead and built two 24' long counter tops for a job I am starting on Monday.Making money helps keep the the thought of not being in K-zoo managable.I keep telling myself that I can use the traveling money to by a new bow.Going up there from Tx is expensive.I will wait and hear what every one thinks of the new bows to make a choice.Its not all bad I did get 2 widows and 2 BigJim Buffs in the last year.

Working on some art that I do on the side trying to catch up financially, so hopefully I can go to the expo and out of state hunting trips in the future.  Obviously wishing I was doing something trad 'cause I keep ending up checking back on this site.

Getting ready to start sanding on an old Pearson Cougar so I can make it pretty again for a buddy that wants to shoot/hunt with me out here in CO. I'm also straightening some laminated birch shafts to whip up some arrows for it. My girl actually went today and says she picked me up some cool goodies but she won't say what they are...

I'll have to wait and see in a couple weeks when she's here for a visit.

Oh yeah, and checkin' out the Gang!
