That Samick of my son's really is a nice bow, from what I can tell. At least it seems to shoot alot smoother and quieter than my home-made bow. I'm sure the shoe-lace string doesn't help... I did break down from the "survival" archery idea, and just ordered a spool of bowstring. I'd like to try real sinew someday, maybe if we get a deer this fall I'll try it. I have been eying up road-kill, but am not sure if you can get arrested for removing "parts" like that!
Glad to see some chicken-enthusiasts here! Criveraville, too bad about no chickens... luckily we have lots of room here, and my husband just rolls his eyes at my chickens (as long as he doesn't have to take care of them!), and he does enjoy the eggs! gstoneberg, my other two Aracaunas (since passed on) laid green eggs, but this one lays pale cream-colored eggs. For a few years, I had brown, white, and green eggs. It was neat.
gstoneberg:
Hmm, there seems to be a love/hate chicken deal going on with spouses. My wife grew up on a farm and ended up hating chickens as tending them was her job. I always wanted them and while we lived on the acreage we always had some. She was OK with that as long as I took care of them. It was a fight to keep them alive around so many predators though since I liked free range chicken eggs. The last couple years I finally gave up on the layers and just did broilers and turkeys. Sure do miss that good meat, store bought chicken is not the same. OK, back to bow making.

LOL, jackcrafty, that's awesome! Glad people here understand chicken humor... makes the world a better place!
Son and I did some shooting tonite. Anybody here ever hear of Japanese knotweed? It's an invasive species, looks like bamboo, and we have a huge patch of it up on the hill which we like to "wack down" with sticks... very therapeutic! Anyways, my son brought a big 1" stem down and leaned it up against the haybales and we had fun shooting it. We each actually shot it through several times, but we were at 30 feet or so... newbies!
Here's a pic of my son with his Samick Shadow. It's 48", 30 pounds.
Mullet, yes, he has flip flops on too! ;D ;D
