NorthShore, your about as southern as it gets here. I was fortunate to visit the islands a few years ago. Went to one of those luau's (sp?) at the Polynesian Cultural Center. Had a great time. Don't know if I could take having those purple biscuits alot.....but they were good. Found an Archery range in the park at the end of Waikiki. Wish I'd have taken my bow and arrows. Between there , Kona, and Hilo I saw some good hunting areas.  One area near Hilo looks like Jurassic Park.....spooky.

Dane, I'm with you. never liked those brains much either....nor cracklin cornbread. Almost broke a tooth once. But now give me a big glass of buttermilk and cornbread and a big onion, and I'm ready to watch raslin on the tube. Don't worry but coming over to our side, that Mason Dixon line is further North than most folks realize   :D

I love the way the points look, Cowboy, and the bow looks great Pappy. Wish my skills were up there enough to help out. Maybe after I get a few hundred bows under my belt like you guys.  :)

Ya'll remember me in yoor prayers this weekend. I'm taking 14 teens skiing in Gatlinburg. It's gonna be fun. I'll check back in Monday night.

Dane, thanks for the recipe. I printed it and gave it to the wife......can't wait to sink a tooth in it.

I've got plenty of water buffalo horn strip left if ya'll want to put that on the tips. It sure buffs out nicely. I've made some arrow nocks out of it.

i'm going to spend this weekend working on the quiver and sheath.  my wife's out partying, so i can turn the dining room into a workshop again.  i got all the needed measurements, but i want to make sure we're sticking to 6 arrows.  is that still status quo?

Marius, I'm working on 6 arrows(3 with Cowboy's store heads, 3 without). I'll send them on to Justin to complete the arrows(nocks, fletching, etc).      Pat

Have you guys planned what you will do with the bow set, and where the procedes will go? The last one sold too cheap, have you considered a lotterey, maybe 100 chances @ 10.00$ each. Just a thought, awsome bow, good work every one.    Kenneth

Kenneth, My thoughts are to send them to the Elk Federation, Quality Deer Management of the Turkey Federation for them to raffle off at one of their conventions, in the name of Prinitive Archer Magazine. Folks go to these banquits with thoughts of spending money to support the organization. I thiunk it would give PA good press also.
  I've got the hardwood shafts, some with Cowboy's points hafted and some bare shoots, ready to send to Justin. I don't know if I should wait for Marius to send the quiver and sheath first or go ahead and send these now and the quiver when I get it.

Good idea Pat, hope they sell good.Might be a good idea to let every one here know when and where so they could bid or buy chances.

pat, i'm not sure what to tell you.  i've spent the last two days trying things out, but all i've accomplished is the boot and the stiffener.  it's stitchless alright, but it's also driving me nuts.

Here are the shafts for the Southern Community Bow project. Three are hafted with the beautiful stone heads that Cowboy contributed(hafted with pitch glue and sinew, sealed with super glue). The materials used for these arrows are sourwood(Oxydendrum arboreum), Buffalo Nut(Pyrularia pubera),
privet(Ligustrum japonicum), and silky dogwood(Cornus amomum). The 3 hafted arrows are sourwood(camo), buffalo nut(tan colored) and privet(white colored).
   For those not familiar with buffalo nut...dioecious shrub, 1.6-3.3 meters tall, believed to be parasitic on roots of deciduopus trees and shrubs. Grows through out the mountains and adjacient piedmont in NC, VA, Ga, Tenn, KY, and WV. This is the only species of this genus that grows in the US. I have heard it is related to mistletoe. The genus name "Pyrularia" refers to the oils in the nut. I've been told that a cotton thread can be strung through the nut and when lit, will act like a candle.   Pat
