Got in about 3.5 miles snowshoeing today. Took the WS out with me and some new Doug-fir shafts I whipped up.

Mid way up I had to stop. Thankfully my wife remembered her flask....

Not too many days like this up here, and we got two in a row.

Absolutely! Got to go ice fishing in a T-shirt yesterday. Doesn't happen very often!

Hey Yooper. Love the simplicity of your arrows. Had to laugh because your arrows and bow look identical to mine except my bow is a N.M. Shelton. Douglas fir remains my go to shaft material.

Vesty I agree. They look clean. I have a few of Steve's bows but not a Shelton. Those are tapered DF. Definitely more durable for me than POC.

If you get a chance try a Shelton. I think you might like it. String follow is pretty sweet.

Yooper-traveler · February 26, 2020, 06:29:13 PM

I have a Ramer (reverse handle string follow) that I'm getting used to now. I can't tell much of a difference between my one with back set and several with straight limbs. But I can appreciate the string follow

Definitely Deno! My sons fav color combo. I'm teaching him to make puffs so we made em up in the black/yellow.

Well got opinions from everyone Was gonna buy a used northern mist classic. But then I saw this on chucks FB page as a stock bow and grabbed it.

The most beautiful Echo I've seen from him. bamboo core, figured and burl cherry veneers, g10 Ibeam with old walnut riser. perfect length for my draw.

Yooper-traveler · March 02, 2020, 10:42:12 PM

Beautiful bow Ari. Congratulations

Deno · March 02, 2020, 11:21:15 PM

That's a winner Ari.

You'll love that Echo, Ari. Sadly I sold mine at the Kzoo Expo. It is #51 but because of chronic tendonitis in my wrist I've had to drop down to #45. I found a sweet N.M. Shelton in that weight that I snatched up. Enjoy that Echo. They love heavy arrows.
