Primitive Archer

I guess I don’t know what Ryan actually said, but I agree with Badger.

Spine is very important for any bow.

Like Tuomo said. Bare shaft test. It will really open your eyes.

Honestly I feel that the type of hunting we do it is possibly even more important. We need good penetration and efficient arrow flight. We need an arrow that straightens out very quickly for close up shots.

I have a lot of respect for Ryan. As stated he is a very capable primitive hunter. I know he has done testing of many different primitive weapons, points and techniques.

I could be wrong but I’m guessing he was misunderstood.

As long as you have perfect arrow flight bare shaft. Spine isn’t important

Nice work BJ. Always loved seeing your bows at the Marshall Rendezvous.

Hamish, I enjoy the short ones too. Maybe because I am pretty short myself. My normal draw is only a few inches longer than I’m drawing this one and it seems like I can shoot pretty well at a 20” draw. I can anchor at my chin.

Thanks Burnsie. I’m in the thumb of Michigan. Dave is kinda on the way to Arvin’s for me. I actually took three days traveling to Arvins

I stopped by Bob Barnes in Arkansas to.

Was a good trip. On the way home we stopped in Clarksville to see a high school buddy of mine and meet up with pappy. I was there for the blizzard of 25. Really enjoyed our trip.

Thanks pappy. I would say it shouldn’t take long to finish it up, but I tend to shoot them awhile before I finish them.

Looking good BJ, looking forward to seeing it finished, Burnsie Arvin is in TX. 😊😉 Pappy

Arvin declined to enter that bow because he didnt do all the work to it, which is very respectable and honorable.
