I pulled a couple of ladder stands today before they grow legs. I left them up longer than I wanted to, kinda surprised that they were still there. They are a pain to move no wonder why nobody stole them.

Bought a Morrison ILF riser from a fellow member this morning, then spent the afternoon in the woods. Pretty good day as far as I'm concerned.

Where are ya from Glen?  I'm from Bellingham, just over the RI border.
I hear you, I have to get in and pull quite a few stands. Not a "LOT" of respect for fellow hunters here in eastern Mass.  A shame...but hopefully most will "grow up" and learn the hunter's ways.  Too many people, too little space around here unfortunately.

Just sunk a few arrows in my indoor target (8 yrds).  Working up a dozen arrows, trying Beman MFX Classics.  I went with Onestringer wraps and double doggs instead of dipping for now.  The fancy stuff has to wait until I can dip or spray outside, unfortunately that will be a while.  Three white 4" shield feathers providing the control.  First one out of the Bitz looks pretty good.

Mike, I took about 350 photos this morning for you.
I hope all is well with you.

We loaded six truck loads of firewood this morning and now I am at the hospital moonlighting for a little extra scratch for my next new bow....and some skins getting thrown on my sons new bow:)  Planned on taking my boys to Kzoo but USA State wrestling tourney is tomorrow and both my sons qualified, so we will be there all day!  At least I have a laptop here so I can check in!  :thumbsup:

Worked on a new form for a wood and canvas canoe. Flattened some bamboo for a new BBO bow I'm hoping to build. A buddy stopped over with a couple 6 packs and what can I say. Stopped work and BS'd with him. There's always tomorrow.

Flung a few arrows this mornin at the indoor target, took the son in law to the gym this afternoon.  he needs to keep from gaining weight, so he won't lose the fine opportunity he got yesterday.  oh, i didn't say what that was.  He joined the Navy yesterday, has always been his dream, he knows that it'll support his wife, and my #1 grandson, and also knows that his wife is very used to the Navy life, her being a Navy brat and all.....  oh, did i mention i'm proud of his decision??     :)  

edit:  also trying to figure out where i can get my hands on a bear takedown riser to test the grip...  tried the grizzly they had at gander mountain, grip is alot smaller/thinner than the '66 bear alaskan i use now.     :(

I went last year, but couldn't make it this year. I SNOWBLEW the driveway this morning, then made up a few arrows, then SNOWBLEW the driveway again.  :help:  Probably going to have to SNOWBLOW the driveway in the morning before I head out to the indoor range to do a little practice and see some of the archery gang. Their calling for SNOW for the next few days so I'll be buisy SNOWBLOWING the driveway  :banghead:  I've got a 4foot blower on my ATV (4-wheeler) with an enclosed cab, so I guess it isn't so bad eh!,...Lloyd

I've never been to any kind of trad archery expo, but sometime I'd like to be stateside when one rolls around.  


I hope someone posts some pics.  I enjoy seeing all the displays, bows, bows, and more bows.  Looks like a great place.
