juniper question
« on: November 22, 2012, 09:43:35 pm »
i got a nice little stick of juniper from keenan..its 58 inches and i was wondering if putting a stiff handle in it would work..i could do a bend-thru handle and it would work just fine..BUT,i really would like a stiff one..maybe i will try the stiffy and if it dont work i will just take some out...john

what kind of draw length do you want, Bub
failure is an option, everyone fails, it's how you handle it that matters.

Sinew back it,and recurve it,and it'll make a 25" draw no problem with it having a stiff handle. And it'll be a kick @$$ bow.

Here is a juniper question!  Are all juniper berries edible?  Is there some some species of juniper that one should NOT eat the berries on?

I normaly BUY junipers to make my holidy bird rub.  But at the end of the block of a friends house I found what i'm told is juniper.  Can I refil my berry jar?

Prarie Bowyer, if you can't ID the plant, then you shouldn't eat it. They're probably fine, but on the other hand, they could be the beans of the mysterious willy willy shrub from Timbuktu--the one that makes you foam at the mouth, piss fire, cluck like a chicken and causes your testicles to swell up like balloons. The owners planted it from seed, no doubt, which they received from their world-traveling uncle who happens to be on the US Customs watch list for the illegal importation of willy willy beans. He too has swollen testicles.
