The self discipline of any sport you really strive to perfect will come in mighty handy in bow making, and not minding soliitude. Man, I wish I had gotten into body building, but as wimpy as I am, I can still open any jar my wife hands me. :)

Speaking of Arnold, I watched Predator yesterday for the first time in years. Arnold / Dutch made a hugely powerful bow to kill the monster with. He, alas, only got one shot at the thing with an explosive arrow with poweder from a 40mm grenade, but it looked like some kind of sapling bow. Where he got the string I dont know :) By this time, poor Jessie Ventura had bitten the dust.

This is a really cool bow.  It is also a very serious bow from what I can tell.

Thanks!!!

Yep, I'd rather see Arnold useing a bundle bow than Rambo and his wheely-jig. Even if the string is wire.

Ah, trip wire wire. True, and he had very little time to get it all together before challenging the Predator. I wonder if he spined the arrows to match the bow weight? Probably that is why he missed on his shot at the beastie. :) Pretty good for an ex-Austrian tank driver, even if it was all move make-believe.

It flings arrows pretty far. I would be confident even hunting with it.

Yep, it's all about setting the goals and going at it hell or high water.
