Welcome!  Now, make sure you raise your hand and ask all of your questions in one post.  That way we can cut and paste the answers for the next new guy.  OK?


Hey!! How did you find my 4th grade graduation picture??  ;D
LOL......most of my questions will be about woods other than Osage because that's about the only one I've worked with to any great extent. I did make a nice BBO last go around and the boo was a new experience, but not really the monster that everybody made it out to be. Lots of splinters but other than that not too bad.

Messin with Hackberry now and it's even more confusing to work with than the bamboo was.........little tiny rings. I better get some old fart's glasses cause I think I may need them? LOL
It will be nice to try a different wood though, kinda gettin burt out on Osage even though it's one of the best bow woods out there. I'm taking my bow building in a whole new direction and want to expand my horizons so to speak.

Lee- I see where you been hanging out now, you been cheating on me so I had to come and track you and Pearlie Boy down!! LOL
Yall been sneaking out and talking about me behind my back on another trad website ain't ya!!  :D

I feel so dirty...........

Hey SEMO, welcome to our controlled chaos.

I know what you mean about tiny rings in hackberry.  I tried chasing a single micro-ring on one for about 5 hours and gave up.  Just worry about the full annual rings and you will do fine!

Semo, naw, no cheating...just can't get my fill of this stuff and PA seems to stick to the primitive stuff a bit more than the folk's over at the Bowyer's Bench (still too many glass dudes there  ;D)

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Just so there's no confusion this is what I really look like.
First trad kill coyote last October with my Bear Grizzly recurve, 510gr. cedar woodie and a 125gr. Magnus Snuffer broadhead. Sliced through both shoulders like he wasn't even there.

Thanks fellas. Yes that was a young male yote, we got lots of them around here and I see more coyotes than I do deer or turkey so I guess you just have to make the best of a bad situation? They do make for fine target practice though, and a test of your abilities to blend in, stay quiet, don't move, and try not to stink too bad. LOL  ;D
