Hi guys,
so I just use this thread.  ;)
My name is Jo and my nickname is because I am fond of snakes: to breed and to do fotos.
I am from Germany and one of my hobbys is turning wood, not far away from building bows, startet this 12 years ago and now more than 100 experimental bows hanging down the walls, standing in corners ....
So I hope to have a good time with you.....  ::)

Greetings from Germany.
Jo

Thanks for the warm welcome!  I should have some pics by the weekend or so. Dana, my daughter goes to NMU, maybe next time I visit you'd allow me to stop by and take a look at your bows??

I'm from Bloomington, Badbill, but I hunt birds out your way. My goal is to one day kill a wild pheasant with a bow. Maybe with this one.

Hillbilly, it did get a little chilly here this week. Walked my retriever yesterday morning at -20. But today it warmed up to -8.

Regards,

Mark

Mark just give me a heads up and we will try and arrange a meeting, shoot the bull and maybe a few arrows also :)

Welcome Mark

Dana, all of us from the part of the world where heat and light exist just see all those states collectively as a frozen place where Santa Claus, caribou, and polar bears live. ;D
;D ;D

Just for that no pasties for you guys :o

Actually I think the ones I brought to Pappy's went over pretty good, unless they were just being polite ;)

I've been through the UP at least a dozen times and never had a pasty yet. The bow is in the Tru Oil stage and still looking good so far. About 55# @ 27". I messed up the handle but I think it will be OK.

 -24 yesterday and -21 today...looks like we're warming up!
 
By the way, Dana, I don't know if you're a hockey fan but it was interesting to see that NMU swept Wisconsin a couple weeks ago.
