Title: Made a bow, Made some dinner
Post by: Msturm on August 17, 2019, 03:09:36 AM
I have been spending a bit of time scouting for moose and fall black bear. I like to carry this new yew selfbow I just finished. Still has that new bow smell. Anyway my dog flushed up a group of grouse and I was able to tag a few. Lost one arrow and the other landed in a tree Just perfect. Rubber blunts do a number on a grouse at 10-15 yards!
Yew static tip 62lbs at 28. POC shafts with 135gn rubber blunts.

Chili for dinner.

The satisfaction of using your self-built bow has got to make that supper even tastier. Nicely done!

That's purely awesome I love your stick and never messed with Yew so I had no idea it produced 2 tones. How long is she?

Hey there Bob, I spent the last 12 years in Hawaii, What looks like fawn camo is actually from an Axis buck taken on Molokai.  I will see if I have a pic of the entire quiver and post it this evening for ya. it is a piece of PVC with a window cut out to have side access to the arrows. The entire thing is wrapped in Axis Deer hide.
