 Alright, changed it back. The only way it gets to stay. They're not a sponsor.

I'm sorry mullet, I misread your post, I thought you were describing how to fix it, i wasn't aware that it had to be written that way.I apologize, and meant absolutely no disrespect to you or the site rules.

Not a problem, Zander. Since PA mag pays for this site, they only allow direct links to paid magazine advertisers-reasonalble enough.

Progress might have been all right once but it's gone on for far too long.

thanks gents,

    i really appreciate the help...  sorry to have asked about the link...   didnt realiaze that would be against the rules... sorry...  didnt mean to step on any toes...   i totally respect this board.... it has helped me to understand bow building and archery in general... and by no means do i want to disrespect...

sorry...

and i must say i really look forward to coming home from a hard days work and read and research the knowledge and advice from all you guys.  it realaxes me and gets me one the right tract of some seroiuse project building...and ideas !   ;D

but i also have to say! that i am ashamed to say that i have been doing more reading and replying than actual building this past week... lol... but i really have been learning alot from this week than the last bow... so hopefully i can do better on this next one im going to start probably tomorrow...

  zander, sent you a PM. Sorry guy's, I should have let you know I disabled it. It's not a big deal to post an address, just don't make it a direct link. The problem is , somebody always takes advantage of us being lenient about it. It is really better to PM each other so you don't work us so hard. But if it's a good one?? ??? use your ,honest, best judgement, I might want to copy it before it's modified. ;)

go look around ponds etc where you see geese hanging out and look for primary and secondary wing feathers.

cant use feathers from raptors or heavens forbid that others will throw a fit( us gov)

be careful what you ask for. I put the word out at work to just 2 guys that I would like to get some Turkey and Goose wings for their feathers. Sheesh. That was 2 years ago and I still have featherd wings in the woodshed waiting to be processed. Some days after work, I would find 12 to 14 wings in the back of my old Dodge. Not to complain you understand, just be ready for a feathry flood. ;)

 An easy way to keep them from being ate up is to store them in the freezer.

i got some real nice feathers in the mail the other day...   goose feathers frome little john...  thanks they are awsome...  and then last week end i got a whole turky from my uncle with feathers and all... wheew what a job to pluck that thing... :o

i have feathers now but how do i go about processeing them... well another reason to thank god for this site...  i have a whole lot of learning to do... ;D
 ;D

i still think i could use more im sure im going to go through quite a bit trying to learn...

these turky feathers are nice but i wish i had more...

the goose feathers are awsome too... but they seem to be a little bit softer and a lot more delicate...
