I thought for years folks used elevated arrow rests for shooting vanes?

Leave it to a guy from Florida to cut a slot in the riser...

Why not keep the arrow closer to the hand???

Well guys good news I think. No surgery for now. They gave me an injection and some HD anti inflammatory drugs. Looking at 8 weeks of pt then a re-evaluation. If he sees 60%+ improvements in pain relief and range of motion then more pt. If not then we discuss options. Bad news is even he (the ortho surgeon) does not know exactly what is causing the pain.

So best case scenario I may be able to shoot winter league still.

Why add glass to a wood bow when it shoots great without glass?
Why make 3 piece bows with nuts and bolts on them to hold them together?
Indians made real bows.

Cody that's great news dude.

Blah, Blah, Blah... Why use electric and modern tools... Why use your vehicle and gasoline... I am sure that you use more modern stuff than primitive stuff... Let it go Roy... To each his own... If you are gonna be an Indian then go all the way and be an Indian not a poser, wanna-be Indian... Your whining about Gwass Bows is getting old... Not sure what you got against fiberglass they been using it for years in all kinds of things... If you can't say anything positive, say nothing at all... Next time you use your spoke shave I hope you realize that you did not mine the ore, melt it down and make your own tool...

Glass is just another tool... It is fast and it is stable... Send me your address and I will send you a lollipop...

Mad Max was nice enough to send me a sweet slightly snakey osage stave that was cut in 2015 by Osage Outlaw in Indiana.

Thanks Mark

monterey · November 22, 2019, 02:24:55 PM

Those growth rings look real nice. You folks who get a bow out of those staves always amaze me.

Making a Bamboo backed Osage Tri lam, Thanks for the bamboo Roy
The grain on this Osage board is running off to the side, so I laid out my bamboo on a angle to work mo better.
And glued up the Z splice.
