It is great to see other Iowan's with similar interests.  I am just starting down the path of traditional archery myself.  I have wanted to make my own bow for years but just never got started.  A year ago a close family friend that had been a bowyer passed away and his some gave me some of his gear so I decided it was time to start.  I am working on an ash flatbow and I started to tiller it the night before last.  I will post a picture if it turns out. Keep up the good work!

It is that time of year again to mass produce for the homeless shelter fund raiser. This year it is small bread plates.

I took my first deer with a bow this weekend.  My goal was to take a deer this year with a bow I made myself, however my first to attempts broke.  Instead I used a Samick Red Stag 50#@28" that was a gift from a very close family friend right before he passed away from cancer.  I took her at 38 yards just behind the right front shoulder about 2" above the heart.  The arrow penetrated the ribs and shoulder muscle on the far side, but not the hide.  She ran about 70 yards.  I have taken a lot of deer with a flintlock over th years, including some respectable bucks, but this was my best trophy to date.

Congratulations, like Pappy said heck of a shot. I'd still be waiting for her to get closer lol. Glad it all came together for you. Good Luck with your bow building you have a very worthy goal.
