Old Duffers were young once.

Van, Glad you liked the picture. The thing I was
carrying my broadheads in was my patented quiver.
Incidently, this was the very first quiver on the
market that held broadheads seperately. They stayed sharp. Jack

Nice pic Charlie. Nice cache of enemy weaponry in your service pic. Did the NVA helmet make it home?

Charlie Lamb · May 18, 2005, 10:28:00 AM

Then there is the one I chose for my Avatar... a great day elk hunting.

Charlie Lamb · May 18, 2005, 10:37:00 AM

Leftbow... the helmet didn't make it home. Neither his nor mine! Rough day for us...rougher for them!

leftbow · May 18, 2005, 11:08:00 AM

Charlie... It looked like it was a long day. The important thing is you made it home.

Charlie,
Have you changed your grip on your bow over time? Looks like you were gripping the bow more on the elk hunting pic than you did on the Wyoming pic.

Joe

Charlie Lamb · May 18, 2005, 11:38:00 AM

Joe... no grip change. I was gonna point that out.

What happens with the appearance of my grip is this. The more comforable with the draw weight I am, the more relaxed my grip. If a picture shows me with my fingers closed on the grip, then I'm not as strong with the bow as I could be.

The elk hunt shot was a cold day and the bow quite heavy (78#)... plus I hadn't been shooting a lot.

OH at work · May 18, 2005, 11:50:00 AM

Charlie,
OK, know what you mean there. Cold day and 78#

I'm lucky to get past 60# these days!

Joe

Wow! Lots of great pics. Ron, thanks for starting this thread, I hope it keeps going for a while.
I just wish I had the time to hunt you have.

Like others have mentioned, I wish I had more pics of my earlier years hunting. I have a few here and there, most of them with my old wheel bows, but good memories just the same.

I've spent most of my years hunting solo, so not too many pics, other than that ever running video tape in my head.

Now I spend more time taking pics of my kids adventures, of which I have lots of pics.

Shaun, when Nancy see's that she'll wanna shoot you with a dull broadhead for posting a bad picture of her :mad: ....plus you got my bad side "[laffsmyl]"

Ron LaClair · May 19, 2005, 03:26:00 PM

Here's one I took with a Strunk Osage selfbow and a flint point. There's that otter hat again :rolleyes:

Looks just like the deer :eek: ............Raven

TRacy , thats funny !...

Charlie Lamb · May 20, 2005, 09:47:00 AM

This one is from an awesome day hunting ground squirrels. My compound bow shooting buddy...who shot his bow clean and with wooden arrows... later became a missionary in the upper reaches of the Amazon river in Peru, living in the jungles there for 15 years.
I'll be bear hunting with him in a couple of weeks. Yeeehaaa!
