Got a call from UPS the other day and they have a package for me. I live rural an had a PO box listed and they dont deliver to PO boxes. Will pick it up in Wichita Friday. Looking forward to it.
I got motivated to get started on my trade bow and went out to the woodshed. Was diggin around in my stacks of golden staves and found one from the first batch of osage I had cut when I first got into this thing back in 2006. It is really clean 1/8-3/16 avg ring, good early to late ratios. Has a slight twist and delex on one end, 69" long right now. I think I will build it 62"/55@27. take out the twist and line things up. have a little relex and slightly flip the tips. Maybe some buff horn tip overlays for eye candy.
Killed a nice copperhead 31" and a milk snake at 60" the other day in the woodpile.First of the season. I think this bow is gonna get the milk snake with and black and orange scale pattern. It should look pretty cool. i will post progress as we go along. Danny
