Welcome to PA East Tennessee
I second getting to a primitive meet. I am pretty frugal, but I spend most of my budget at meets. Nice to hold the stuff in your hands and you can save a bunch on shipping.

Bows / Re: Jan 2026 BOM VOTING
« Last post by bjrogg on February 03, 2026, 08:55:30 pm »Absolutely amazing bows, really hard to select. In the end I just had to pick my personal favourite on an aesthetic basis, regardless of other considerations.
Also, unfortunately I can't see siperdaves pictures (not available in my region: UK) which is a shame as they sound amaxing. any one else have this issue?
That’s a shame you can’t see Dave’s pictures. There’s a bunch of nice ones.
Thanks for entering everyone and thanks for voting to

Horn Bows / Re: Korean horn bow. while im waiting...
« Last post by Bob Barnes on February 03, 2026, 05:34:06 pm »Thanks for the quick update. I totally agree about giving it time to dry. Too many times we read about people heat treating, adding snakeskin backing, and other things that need time to properly dry...but they don't I'm amazed at how soon after putting sinew on a bow some people start working the bow again...way too soon. Looking forward to your update as always.

« Last post by superdav95 on February 03, 2026, 04:23:52 pm »This bow is one of my favorites yet. You did an excellent job, as always. A shooting video would be great, but I'm looking forward to a successful hunting picture.
Thanks Bob. Much appreciated. We don’t get a lot of action over here on the dark side of bows. lol. Your comments are welcome. After the birch bark covering I decided to give it a bit before stringing or shooting again due to reintroducing more moisture back into the bow as I used sturgeon glue to apply it. I’m hoping to shoot it early March to see where it ended up. Thanks again.

I still have this bow but never finished it. It was way too overbuild and wasn’t happy with the sinew on this one. It was a good learning experience anyway.
