Ya Aint makin', if Ya Aint breakin' Pappy (--) ! That Creek, is a Kid Magnet. Thanks - Bob.
Pappy:
You are right Bob, I can't say it don't bother me at all but nothing like it use to, If one breaks I just look it over to see if I can figure out why and then just move on, I tell these new guys "Don't fall in love with it until you have shot it hundreds of time, until then it is just a stick of wood " ;)

Slow weekend for pictures, it was roasting hot and spent most of the time getting the range and other stuff ready for our small critter shoot this coming Saturday, I did manage to break another bow. ??? :-[ ;) A lot of time under the fan for sure, My girls follow me on my early morning hikes, I done 3.5 mile Friday morning and they probably done 5 chasing everything that moved,so they were worn out. :) This bow has given me trouble from the very start and had issues that I was pretty sure wasn't going to make it, I got it tillered out to 44@26 and it was OK, had a lot of humps and side checks but still shot, I couldn't stand it and decided to do more, that was a mistake!!! Seems I was determined to break it and I SUCCEEDED :)

I thought I would flip the tips, ??? just like the look and add a little weight, well that was all it could take, went boom on the form, good thing I ant in need of a bow. but after a minute and some home made brats all was good. That's 2 in a row, I will say I have been trying to clean out some of my old stuff that has been around for years and most is questionable wood so guess I shouldn't be surprised. :)

Got several guys in the club for some reason don't want to shoot wood anymore, so they been giving me arrows they made and no longer want to use, some beautiful arrows, I ant use to that :) with a little adjustments and some trimming and tuning I am getting some really good arrows and pretty to boot, these were 50/55, I cut them to 29 and added a 160 field tip and they fly like darts/shoot great out of my latest RD bow and weigh in at 560/575 , prefect for my up coming elk hunt. Hope yall had a good one also, stay cool. ;) Life is Good. :)
