2007 back yard season

Well, a good glue would be required. I'd say smooth-on, but I fear that the temperatures required would damage the existing bonds. URAC won't do for glass... Bowgrip from Rudderbows might be the route to go on this. Drys clear and they claim it will work on glass. Then we will also need a couple glass lams to complete the repair. You could get those from Rudderbows as well. I'll check price on all this later, right now I need to get back to work!

Interesting. Very interesting EH.

Sorry, but imo she's a goner. Even after a fix of some type you can never be sure what will happen when it is drawn or when it will happen. I have been left holding a riser and string while both limbs lay on the ground with a stupid look on my face after busting a cherry & hickory longbow. I had shot lots of arrows from this bow for several months, always warmed it up good before coming to full draw, basically treated it gentle. Luckily I had sunglasses on because I had a couple cuts on my forehead just above the frames. I also broke 4 sets of limbs on a High Country bow one year, thankfully they were just cracks or splinters, the bow didn't blow up.

Yea I am kind of afraid of that but either way it is OK. another one will be found some day and picked up at a price I can afford. I just need to be patient.

Well the snow is gone and we got out for another shoot and had some fun training a rookie on the fine art of archery.

Here is wanabehunter out for his two rounds of shooting. Wanted to go play so he only stayed for a short time.


Here is the rookie getting some instruction from easternhunter.


Eastern taking a shot.

Myself shooting. I see I have to work on my shoulder to get that arm up just a bit more.



Here is the rookie again.


Not a bad group for a newbie. He is not sure what he is doing.



here is a shot of the group from today. I don't know if you can see it or not but if you can notice the arrows in the leg of the deer? Well the rookie got the name of Leggy as that seemed like his favorite spot to hit the deer. ;D ;D


All in all a great day out doors and notice no winter coats.

More shooting tonight pics to come.

Well I remembered to take the camera out with me last night and you know what it is hard to take photos of yourself shooting. OH well I stunk again last night so no lose.

The newbie was back and we had some fun as we gave pointers out on a regular basses.


Not that it helped and now you know why we call him Crazy Legs McCarthy.
;D


He got the idea to change the rest and tech up the bow and we mentioned that it may throw off more things than he thought. He kinda sounds like me when he says it can't hurt to try it.


Here he learned how it can. Notice him looking for an arrow while another one sticks out of the base of the ear. ;D ;D



He never lost his good attitude toward shooting and took all the ribbing we could dish out. He is a very good sport and he will do well once we get things tuned in better for him.

That looks like an old Browning that he is shooting
It'll come

I think it is and he gives out as much as we give him. We wanted him to just shoot for a while before we go nuts at trying to set that bow up for him. Having lots of fun, frustration and bug bites. All is great.

Cool
