Off the Hand vs. Off the Rest

PEARL DRUMS:
Didn't realize it was bamboo backed. It probably wont blow violently, but it could fold up anytime. I'd hate to have that thought in the back of my mind while hunting. But, that's just me.

Pat B:
You can save that bow by grinding the belly flat and thin and add an osage or ipe belly lam. You'll have to re-tiller.

No, I hear you; it isn't just you.  The trouble is there's no way I can get a new bow  in time for this hunting season (nowhere I can get one locally) so it's either take my chances with this one or skip hunting this year.  So...wish me luck.  :)

Agree with pearl,put a shelf on your bow .safer and consistent. Oh yeah its not fun pulling a feather out of your hand.they say check your fletching all the time ,the first time you forget you get burned .

  I always shoot with a heavy leather glove on my bow hand.  Shot my first bow for years without one; it's a wonder I never skewered myself.  Ah, to be young, dumb, and indestructible again...
