Knight, Sumac is soft so it scrapes really easy it also dents really easy ;)

Nice job Dana. That's pretty cool to get a bow out of an untested wood like that.

John an out of state deer tag is pretty high :o As for getting together I'm centrally located but I don't own land or anything
I have access to about 200 acres of private land but the hunting isn't great either unless we shoot wolves >:D Wouldn't really need to worry about a license
either as the the govenor has pretty much gotten rid of most of the DNR officers


Thanks Alan, ya never know until ya try eh.

Bo ain't ready, willing but not trained to much. Like I said there isn't much in the way of deer where I hunt, partridge are on the upswing,
hardly ever see a rabbit anymore, I have access to land but no cabin or electric and would have to haul water and sleep by the fire for heat :)
It would be primitive, like in caveman UGH ;D

It's unbeleiveable that a piece of wood this soft and light....had that much energy stored up in it.....I really liked that little Bugger!!!
