Boy oh boy Bernie, You have some fine specimens hanging there. Kind of like the selfbow holy grail door. Take care Ber !! Vic
Good looking bows, Bernie. Made by some top notch bowyers. Jawge
Very nice bows Bernie!!
Hi Jawge!!
Very Cool!
real nice bernie but you got to many you had better send one to me LOL!!! :biglaugh:
Those are really nice Bernie, I haven't got this figured out yet but I will.Maybe we'll be able to shoot another coon shoot together, you never know.
Sweet Bernie. I am gonna have to get me a primitive bow soon... LOL
Thanks, all of you, I really do luv 'em, though I am still learning how to shoot them well, consistently. Speaking of that, think I'll go out and shoot a little, a'fore dark :archer: .
I like them bows :thumbsup:
Very easy on the eyes they are :bigsmyl:
Nice looking collection of bows Bernie. Is that a Barb quiver hanging on the door knob?
Yes it sure is, Linc (good eye). There is one on both doors (normally hanging from the plastic hooks above - I moved them down for the pic but hoped they'd show up - couldn't get back far enough in my "Glory Hole Room" without backing into ghastly, unknown things :D . I understand they are calling them "Man Spaces" now :p ) That one is the Lakota Barb made for me. The other is my "Barb" back quiver, that was her personal fav, and is now my favorite to use.
Some (most) of you may know this, but I don't want to take a chance of misleading anyone that may not - so let me pass on something I've been informed of by folks I trust a great deal. This is a space saving idea, but not the best way to store wood bows. Horizontal on wall is best. If you must do vertical, reverse/flip your bows about once a month, due to difference in humidity level from top to bottom of room. If you can, it would be good to monitor humidity level where you store your wood bows, to really be safe.
Usable wall art. :bigsmyl:
They are all beauties.
Hi C2! Got a pic of Martha from ATAR that you never sent me...you dog! :knothead:
Bernie...most of my house is like your "Man Space". What am I supposed to call it? If I call it my Man Space, I think it would send an unintended message. :help: :confused:
Killdeer :rolleyes:
I would imagine Clark has learned to say "Yes Deer" and actually sound convincing :bigsmyl:
Dano, Its called peace at all cost.
Killdeer, your room of serenity
Thank you Chyort. (Russian version)
I think Drano moved west 'cause he thought it would be safer. I got a sister at your 5, buds.
(Dano ain't gots no 6. :readit: )
Killdeer :biglaugh:
That's what I call it too Dale. I like that too, "your room of serenity"
dang!!! you got kin close by??? :eek:
I couldn't even touch that "space" issue...dangerous ground. So I guess your gettin' settled in out west now pilgrim...I mean Dano...Awesome bow collection Bernie..you need to use one of those and stone a deer this season !!!
