Pappy:  Sounds like you have things under control as usual!  We finally had a small rain yesterday, but still in harms way for the fire season!  Your pictures help me try to stay connected.  Someday hope you and Miss Joanie will be able to come for a visit!  A/Ho Joe

Any news Matt ??????? Great weekend.Got all the ranges set,just needs some signs and tweeking and should be ready.Also got my Cain arrows finished ,still need to fletch the popular but should get that going this week. Got my Osage sealed and Will hooked me up on the grip so it is ready to shoot in the IBO World.
Hope yall had a good one,Hot but fun for us. :) :) The Cain wouldn't take a 11/32 point and all I had was 5/16 in 125 grain,I needed 160 grain points so i drilled the end and put a nail that brought the point weight up to 160,worked great. :) Also a picture of GregB's new knife and sheath.

  That bow of yours Pappy reallly held it's profile well. Not the slightest hint of set in that thing. Should be illegal to be having all that much fun.

  Pappy, how long is that recurve? I bet it is one heck of a shooter.

It's 66,best I can mesure,a little long for me but I wanted a good smooth shooter
and it is,pretty quick for 48@26. I usually make most of mine around 62 so it will take a little getting use to if I hunt with it and I am sure I will if all goes well,it was a really clean piece also [not what I am use to] with very nice ratio on the winter and summer growth and pretty thick growth rings so it should hold up nicely.I have been having trouble for the last few years with my shooting so I wanted something I could shoot with no worries and I think this is the one,I feel very good about this one. Now that it is finished I hope to get to shoot it a lot once we get through the IBO World,hope to get time to shoot in it  ,we will see,always seem to get busy and don't get the time to shoot in our events,hope this one will be different,it is the last IBO World shoot we will have for a few years and I would really like to shoot in a least one. :) :) This is the 3rd we have done and I haven't shot in one yet. :(  ;) maybe this year. :)

  Pappy, I shot 62" bows @ 26" all my life. This year I switched to 66" and I aint going back. My shootin improved 100%. I bet after this event you don't go back either. Great job on that bow she has to be quick with that virgin profile. Looks like she has never been bent.

No Mark, not yet.   :( :(  Still waiting on the little feller to commit.  He's been getting very antsy.
