Hickory, NC shoot-who's coming? This year
nugget:
My fire will be lit everyday to cook. Thurs to Sun
Pat B:
Dick, I'll be riding with Alan and he said if he didn't shoot then he would spend the weekend cooking. I'm sure we'll work something out. Pat

Is anyone bringing a tillering tree to Hickory or planning on working on bows there?
I didnt see anyone working on bows last year but may have missed it.
Reason I ask is I'm stuck. Hit a wall. I have this really snaky piece of sage. I have her bending about 30 lbs at approx 10 inches. Haven't braced it yet. It is my first snaky bow and I am having a really hard time telling where it is bending and where it isnt. worse part is that it is twisty side to side as well as belly to back... and even throws a side twist in one limb. Rings are huge tho. Crazy part is one limb is snaky other is pretty straight. Seems the snaky limb is bending better...
Its a project in itself. took me 3 heat treats to get the string to line up and introduce some reflex.
Just thought some more experienced eyes than mine might be able to offer some pointers.

nugget:
I will have all my tools and stuff there. I will help ya however I can. I will have a knotty piece of osage to work on. ;D
Pat B:
I'll have my bowyers bench and a bucket of tools. If I can remember to ask my friend, I can get a portable tree from him...if I remember. ;D I'm sure we could figure something out anyway. We are primitive archers! ;D 8) Pat
