High country elk in September!
Lee Slikkers:
Now that might just be the coolest decorations on a rawhide backing I've ever seen!!! Awesome work (as usual) Pat. Did you sinew the bow under the rawhide too?
Little John:
Well Pat you beat me to posting the pics but I think yous are better any way, Man what a sweet bow, just can't belive the graphics, what medicine. Nice job and I can't thank you enough. You are truly a master at any thing I have seen you do and have given more to primitive archery than any one I have ever known. It is an honor and pleasure to hunt with you. Kenneth

The idea of pictographs was mine but my wife, Marcia came up with the design and the drawings. She drew the pictures with pensil and I traced them with India ink...and added the red!
Lee I had so much trouble getting sinew to stick(completely sinewed twice) that I guessed Elkie didn't want that look. Now she has only a deer rawhide backing.
Kenneth, I think she shoots as well as she did with sinew and at least now she will be less affected by wet conditions(moisture). Sorry to upstage you. ::) I'm getting excited about our hunt! One week from tomorrow!!! 8)
