Didn't do any good with the deer ,but didn't hunt much.Went out for a couple of Hours Sat. and seen a couple of small bucks but no shot.I worked on bows and spent the weekend with
my son,hadn't seen him in a while so we watched Tn. foot ball .It was his 22nd birth day so
had a great weekend.Redoing my 56 in. hickory bow,recurving thye tips and making a new
grip.Finished the Mic. bow and plan to send it out Monday.Had some good fish ,taters and Brats.
It has been really hot here so maybe it will cool down this week and can get back in the woods. :)

Doesn't seem like Beau should be 22! I didn't have any luck either this weekend other then bad. Didn't see any deer Saturday morning, and did not hunt the evening. During the day Saturday I went out to practice with my Copperhead bow like I've been doing a lot of this summer. Thought I heard a tic sound while at full draw. A close examination and I couldn't find anything wrong. Shot a couple of more arrows just fine before I put it up...but I wasn't completely convinced. Sunday morning before daylight I was about to head out to hunt, decided to flex the bow...second flex and the lower limb snapped in to! :'(
Although it wasn't the best performing bow I had made, it was the nicest looking bow I thought. Also April BOM winner...
I was able to harvest a couple of deer opening weekend with it. I plan to try and glue it back together and put on the wall. It was a challenging piece of wood, and whether it was problems in the wood or something that I had done during the making of it that caused it to blow, I sure hate to lose it. I had planned to retire it after this season. Oh well, I grabbed another selfbow and went out hunting anyway Sunday morning. No deer sighted...
