Primitive Archer

Absolutely amazing bows, really hard to select. In the end I just had to pick my personal favourite on an aesthetic basis, regardless of other considerations.
Also, unfortunately I can't see siperdaves pictures (not available in my region: UK) which is a shame as they sound amaxing. any one else have this issue?

Yep me too, imgur got banned in the U.K. I think because I doesn’t comply to the new child protection rules. Got to find a VPN (or peer pressure Dave into changing his image hosting for all three of us!)
Pretty desperate to see what he’s been up to so next time I have a lazy day I’ll look into vpn and let you know

Some of you older members might remember Glenn but he passed away last Saturday from intestinal complications.  Glenn didn't post much but he was a member of the PA message board for as long as I can remember, heck I think he was a member when I first registered an account back in the 90's.  Glenn came up to see me a couple times many years ago to do some archery bear hunting, even shot a bear with a sinew backed ERC bow, unfortunately we didn't recover the bear.  The last time Glenn was here I gave him a hard maple stave, from which he made a bow and shot a decent buck with.  RIP Glenn

Good luck with that!  They stopped the print version years ago, then the emag went away when they shuttered the whole shebang! The forum stayed online for a while until the website host got sick of hosting when no one was picking up the tab.

Then along came this joker that goes by the handle "sleek". Now I have history with that jackwagon, because he sent me an ugly old piece of a stick with fishing line for a string. It was so bloody danged ugly I went and sent it back to him! Joke was on me, a couple years later this guy that builds some of the un-prettiest bows in the land wanders out into the desert salt flats of Utah and sets a brand new world record for distance! The guy simply ain't smart enough to know when he is out of his depth. He musta had his head rattled awfully hard and the last two remaining brain cells fighting over third place brush up against each other and the static electricity causes a spark. This dullard interprets that little spark as his motivation to BUY THE MAGAZINE, LOCK STOCK AND BARREL! Well, he goes and calls the owners of P.S. and starts wheeling and dealing. Lo and behold, sleek now owns the website and forum and is working to get things stabilized. He's got grandiose plans to improve things along the way a little at a time until this forum, once again, becomes the world's preeminent online source for kmnowledge on the subject of handmade wood bows, arrows, and the like.

I'm only here munching popcorn and watching. Ol sleek has no idea what's possible and what's not. Its fun watching him do the impossible on a regular basis. So pull up a seat, have a handful of popcorn and enjoy the show.

Sounds like some of my weeks Eric.  That's a good price on tires, the ones on my 2500 GMC cost almost 2 grand last year when I had new ones put on, good thing I don't drive it much so they should last a while.

That's more than I have spent on most of the vehicles I have owned! I kinda miss the old Isuzu Trooper that insurance would have written off as totalled if it ran out of gas!

Thanks!
