What do you have for limb veneers Brian? Iam creeping up the list for my Morningstar and kinda looking at different options. Originally chose black glass. Looks like you had fun on the range,I do something similar in the mule pasture.

Wow... that looks like fun!  Great opportunity to have that kind of shooting range for the time being.  That Morning Star really launches them.  I have yet to et a situation where I have lobbed'em with my MS but I did participate in a long range shoot at a trad-shoot with my Vixen.  I throws them out there pretty good too.  
Thanks for sharing that adventure and enjoy your North Star!

Also, Lone Hunter, you might consider brown glass.  I Don't own any (Im partial to Yew) but I have seen a couple of Brown glass Berry bows and they are REALLY pretty.  Also very good hunting color as it does not reflect too much light.

Good luck on the elk next week!

Lone hunter,
I am partial to red elm, and that's what that bow is. All red elm limbs under clear. And I agree with JW in that I also have a thing for brown glass and more specifically brown on back, clear on belly which is what my Vixen is and is what my new Northstar is too.

It is a lot of fun to shoot at those distances.  My son and I did it early one Sunday morning at a school field.  

Howard Hill's Elk shot always bugged me though.  As good as he was, he still had no business shooting that far.

Thanks Jerry, maybe a dark brown on back and lighter brown on belly. Think I've seen something like that someplace.
Opening day of bear and Iam painting the kitchen.Dang. Lot of bears this year, they tore up my trailcam.

Beautiful bow Brian. Have a Vixen coming also but going with a toasted maple on that. The morningstar should be here for late season.
Good Hunting, Mike

All I know about the next "Northstar"(Bumblebee) that will be headed my way is....it will perform with excellence.

I feel like a kid just before Christmas....lol

I keep thinking, if a 62" bow can be that smooth, how smooth will it feel at 66"?

What I do know is that it will be 66" and in the low 50's@28, everything else is ?.  Mr Berry said he'd find some trash wood laying around to put it together..lol Yeah right!

Brian as soon as mine arrives we'll need to compare notes.

Thanks for keeping us entertained with some fun shooting.

Season is coming!!

God bless,Mudd

The great entertainment we revel in may have merely evolved in diminutive increments since childhood.


Thanks for sharing...
