Title: New Pic of Wood Bows (warning added)
Post by: ber643 on August 03, 2007, 03:56:00 PM
Thought since I "spoke" of my wood bows on a recent thread about "Primitive bows and Speed expectations", you might like to see these wood bows (and how I store them with my space limitations - again):
1) "John Sciffres" by J.S. Stained Osage 66", 40# @ 28" (my first)
2) "Barb" by Frank Razo BBO 66", 50# @ 28"
3)"Sneaky Snake" by Dano Gren Osage Character 60" 50# @ 26"
4) "Hula Girl" by Manny of Hawaii Guava Character 66", 40# @ 27"
5) "Ol' HB" by Me HBM(assandruba) 67", 40# @ 27"
6) "Sister" by Mike Brooks (finished by me) Tri-lam BBHM 67", 45# @ 28"

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:   .

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.

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:
