Indiana hackberry
« on: November 20, 2015, 09:14:22 am »
I just got back from an out of state hunt in Indiana hosted by a friend of mines son. It was the hunt of a lifetime, action packed, with plenty of success enjoyed by all. We ate well, had a few celebratory beverages and worked to the point of having nothing left in the tank. The young man hosting was good enough to cut a hackberry I noticed while hunting there last year and bring it back to Pa. last Christmas. I of course had to make a bow for him. He shoots and hunts traditional so it will get plenty of use. I wish I would have taken a pic of him with it though.  66" long, low 50's at 28" draw. Tempered and trapped.
