I saw a bearded hen this afternoon. It's hard to see because I had to zoom way in to get the shot. Her beard is about 6 to 8 inches long. Better than some gobblers I've seen.

You can shoot a bearded hen, but given the low number of turkeys,  we didn't.

Finished myself a Kennym design FHLB. Had some really nice walnut veneers I bought from Kenny awhile ago, it's hard to get a pic that shows their beauty. They turned out super nice. Used walnut and myrtle in the riser. Some how I ended up with a 58" bow instead of a 60" that I had planned on. Stills feels nice at my draw and shows no stack on my scale.

If I'd known that I would live this long I'd have taken better care of myself.

Thats a big fish KirkL..I Went to the lake Sunday morning looking for a few brim. Caught over 60 fish using a 10 ft cane pole with 6lb line, #6 tru turn hook, bait was grass shrimp. I had to keep 7 or 8 smaller ones that got gut hooked but they were big enough to fillet.[attachment=1,msg2999748] .. Kept 39 brim, 3 specks and a cat fish. Fried the catfish and Speck fillets tonight in coconut oil after coating them in corn meal..served with hush puppies and baked beans..Didn't have any grits to make cheese grits  :knothead:

What!! I never saw any boo there! Would have snagged some if I could. X99 is my go to string material.  Really like it.

I finished up the bow I have been building for a bow trade.  This one is osage/boo/padauk/bocote, 64" long, 3" of Perry reflex, and 49#@27".  This is the fourth bow from this particular piece of wood and it has been the best single piece of wood I've worked in almost 30 years of making all-natural material bows.

That wood combo always looks good  :)
Nice job :thumbsup:

FYI--The highest point on the arrow shelf works better in line with the deep part of the grip :thumbsup:

Agreed....but I am a little more cautious on all-wood bows than I would be on bows with glass or carbon or micarta.  I know most of the folks on this particular site are building with synthetic materials so there is a lot more room for cutting things thin and deeper.  Heck, most of the selfbows I see aren't even radiused at all  :archer:

She's a beauty Matt :thumbsup:

How much reflex did it keep?

It has 3" after its been unstring for a few minutes and 2 3/4" immediately after unstringing.  I've been playing around with WHERE along the limb has most of the reflex and this seems to be the sweet spot.
