A very sickly last month for this NL, happy to get her over the finish line. Solid buds so hopefully not a bad yield.

Heh.
My old Hoyt compound has quite the...pop to it.

My bow is 15+ years old. Whisker biscuits don't do much to silence that old fiberglass "pop" lol

the bow i primarily use is around 40 years old....and she stands up against my buddies new tech matthews..he was so impressed with the speed and accuracy of the traditional bow, that he has since hung up the compound and bought a recurve!

I've honestly thought about building my own. We've got a lot of walnut and osage orange around here, So it wouldn't be hard to find the wood for it.
(Use osage for the main, and walnut for reinforcement)

Hey.....can i ask something of a few of you guys....can you list every outdoor grower you know and tag or PM me with the list? I have something i want to pm outdoor folks for feedback.

Yo, wassup? Just a hack, here, but have run a few. Subtropics / tropics though.

Oh man...now we are talking!! Ive tried to make a few bows over the years...problem for me is finding suitable wood!! My buddy got out this year and cut a bunch of big maples to make some staves...cant wait until next year so i can finally make a nice bow from proper wood! Kiln dried wood loses too much of its integrity.

bowmaking may look easy....but i assure you it is not!! Making a perfect firing bow is quite the task!

I made "caveman" bows when I was a teenager. They worked for killing groundhogs in the garden, and that's about it haha. I used to just find a maple sapling, halve it longways on my dad's tablesaw, then whittle it down to an elongated football shape. As long as the flat side was facing away from you, It had enough power to peg a groundhog to the ground until it bled out.

(Dad's 20ga worked to "speed up" the process if it was bad shot placement)
