HH BUG GOT ME - Part Two!

[pavan]

I shot a few times with Louis, I have few arrows wasting away in his old neighborhood and out in the bay.

Been dreaming of Longbows in Idaho, days of past.  Good memories...

The eyes tell the story...

Index finger at the corner of the mouth.  Tells something as well.

Yes the pictures of Howard Hill can have many different anchors depending on if he was "posing" for the photo.     But not kidding...

[pavan]

Personally, when someone wants to take my picture, I  shave, shower, etc and comb my hair.  i don't like having my picture taken, it is too dangerous to prepare for such an event.  Taking a shower is a hundert times more dangerous than going hunting and a slip with one of those face scraping devices could leave you bled out in second.  The greatest trophy photo ever, says it all.

I found my Tracfone back, that beep my wife heard in the basement a while back was the phone battery warning, and it had a message asking if either one of these bows is for sale.  Not sure how he got ithe pic or my number or who he was or if it a prank call, but no they are not for sale at any price. Now if I could find my lost pocket knife back, I would feel like I have been charmed.

My wife decided to have a little girls night out earlier so figured what better time to twist up a new string for the shelton. Its stretching right now and will be ready to serve in the morning. Hopefully i can match my serving diameter to the nocks on my woodies a bit better. Nock groove on these is a bit looser than what im use to and would barely hold onto the old string.

Pavan, I agree that's the greatest trophy picture ever.  I have never done that well on small game with a shotgun.

Jeff, I agree with two4; Nice looking Sunset as I like the walnut and yew.  Good luck with her.

New Sunset Hill reminds me of the same "look" of my mentor's bow when I was a teenager.  His was a Frank San Marco.

Ooh touchy.

What does the previous post have to do with traditional Bowhunting?

[pavan]

'Get back jo jo' side talk, concerning the sheets behind my bows.  That just happens to be where i set my bow while I am tying up my arm guard.  Just for you I will delete it.

Been a hectic couple weeks at work so not much time for shooting but I received my replacement arrow set from rose city. Dozen spine and weight matched 45-50 spine with mahogany stain, blue crest and red and white feathers. Now I'm awaiting a taper tool and field points and broadheads to come in for them.

[pavan]

Nice to hear that Rose City got on board for your issue.  How do your new arrows look?  I put together a dozen Rose City arrows, two had a bit of flare top to bottom. I cut most of it off and put the remaining top two flare grains pointing forward on top of the shaft.  They came straight and remained straight they ended up being 472 to 480 grains and 49 to 53 pound spine full length, they will be dynamically stiffer than that, since I cut them all to 27"bop.  They fly the same perfect with 145 Ribtecs or Hunters Heads, and come out of four of my bows perfect.  Now I am caught flipping the old go with 9 grains per pound or 10.5 grains per pound with my set of Acmes with 190 grain Ribtecs.  I am pretty sure both will do the job on one of the three really nice bucks that are in the valley.  I am not holding off on the big 8 or the even 10  pointer this year, i refuse to come down with a case of 12 pointer or nothing fever like I did last year, he's back.  i hope one my go too bows will do it for me this year, 50@26 or 55@26.

Grain is much better on the new ones. I'm probably going to pair them up with some 130 grain steel force glue ons from 3rivers and trim down till they fly proper. I'll be shooting them out of the Shelton which is 53@28 but I only draw right at 27" so I should have plenty of room to play with.

Stopped by hobby lobby on Thursday and came out with a bag of xl remnants. There are 3 pieces of leather in the bag big enough for quivers so I'll be trying my hand at a leather hill style quiver. My main decision now is whether I want to stitch with artificial sinew or leather lace
