My Ol' Buck still shooting and hunting.
« on: October 08, 2016, 07:39:40 pm »
Ol' Buck has been with me since 1989.  He has traveled North America for a little over six years, and came back home in 2013.  We still spend some woods time together, and he still casts a nice arrow.  York lemonwood longbow, circa 1940's, 67",  52#.  Took a nice whitetail with this bow in 1992 and some rabbits and squirrels since.   Amazing resilience and a true friend.

On still he goes with back berond of cedar shafts with feather frond;
for him the great success you see, is not to get, but just to be,
amidst the oak and the hickory tree.

Way to keep an old champ active. I have a few old lemonwood bows(one a York ELB style) but don't shoot them. Glad to see they can still be productive with a little reeducation and exercise. Well done, George.
