I've seen threads like this on several other forums and have always enjoyed them... Thought I'd start one here.... Here's a few just to get started. >:D >:D
You know your a bowyer if.....
1. You have made plenty of fancy tomato stakes. >:D
2. You know more about the properties of bow building materials, then you know about modern tech.
3. Your work area looks like a tornado hit it. >:D
4. People look at you funny when you go to a public range. >:D
5. There is something magical about building bows that you can't really describe.
Let's see how many we can get guys! Have fun! ;D ;D ;D
