Bull Penis as sinew source? Resurected w/ pic (sorry)

[crooketarrow]

  Very little bit is sinew mostly mussle. But I read where some of the western tribles use buff. dongs.

Go for it.I'm afraid you will get disappointed by the performance though.I once made a small pouch out of the nut sack.Like the humorous comments comments.....LOL.

awesome posts but in all seriousness, wouldnt it be more like a rawhide backing than a sinew one?

I've heard of them being used as walking canes too.

The butcher I got it from said as youths in Germany, they used to cut them in half and dry them then carried it in his sleeve as a night stick-OUCH!

[Marks]

Got to throw my hand in,

I wonder if you added Viagra to the hide glue you may get more reflex?

I'm betting you would have to re-tiller it after you used the Viagra. Ed

If it stays reflexed for more than 4 hours you need to call a Dr.

Well, I just couldn't let it go 

I nailed it up in the shed and after dry time of months I remembered it was there and got to work on it.

Very hard to pull apart and actually had to use a vice and knife to get the end started coming apart. Took a lot of work to get a total of an Oz. of sinew and it doesn't pull off in long strands well.

I think I may try this one more time and attempt to stretch it out and scrape out the insides of a couple of these rascals and keep them all in one wide long and flat piece that could be glued on with a splice in the grip.

As I took the pliers to it it seemed to have some areas that came off in wide sheets that I think would be awesome for some kind of sinew patch since the fibers are more unidirectional than linear, and other fibers seemed like normal sinew. There were also some fibers that became just like a rubber band when wet (shriveled up real short and then stretched real long until the limit and then no give whatsoever)

I put some of the wider bits in some beet juice and dyed em just for the heck of it.

Well then, that concludes it. Yes you can get sinew from the dong.

I foresee "The Donger" bow eventually coming from this batch.

Thank you for your time...GOod day

This is an entertaining read haha. Cheers- Brendan

[---GUTSHOT--->]

This isn't even right.

[Joec123able]

I'm sure it would stiffen your wood up pretty good.

Bull     soup is a delicacy in some cultures. I'd personally trade my bag of dicks for a bag of deer legs and make leg sinew.

I tried my best to make a serious post, but it's almost impossible given the subject.

[Pappy]

Funny , but come on guys, family site ya know.  And yes I am sure I could come up with something given the subject, but I will pass.

This has been a great laugh but I really was serious when I asked the initial question, and I think I have arrived at an answer.

Yes you can.

Not as time efficient as leg or back sinew and probably not as good for performance either.

awesome posts but in all seriousness, wouldnt it be more like a rawhide backing than a sinew one? 

I'm guessing it would be somewhere closer to sinew performance but much more work than a rawhide backing and not really worth the extra work unless you want a novelty bow.

I do plan to try scraping the meat out of 2 fresh ones and applying them whole to each limb on a real short bow and then seeing what kind of reflex it will pull into. That seems like the only way to make it worth messing with again.
