    Hey fellas, I am making a new hose press and have a question about the hose plugs. I am a cheap ass and want to source the hose plugs and drill and tap the air fitting myself but I cant find the plugs anywhere besides binghams and Jims. Where are they getting these things from and is there an...

    Hello, Today I did the final tuning on my Black Bear warf and shot a 300 round. When I was tuning, I mistakenly grabbed a fletched arrow that I had without a point, and proceeded to shoot it. This was a 29.5" 2117 out of a 45 lb. bow. 3Rivers calculator says this should be about 8 gpp. My...

    While shooting this weekend, I had a GT pin nock disintegrate as i released and my bow essentially dry fired. SCARED THE PAJEBAS out of me to say the least! Because I hold the bow very lightly, the bow launched out of my hand, and luckily landed in the grass. I think it may have landed on...

    In the last month I've dry fired my Das that (from what they say) has the Sky limbs twice. Pretty cool uh! I've never had a bow break/blow up because of a dry fire. So far.... I have dry fired longbows because of break of string at the nock set. The Gold Tips have small nocks. And since...

    I should have checked my nocks. I got as close to a dry fire as you can have splitting a nock. The Uukhas did not even make ALOT of noise or flutter. Bow did not unstrung. Did not fly a part. I had the Uukha on my Morrison 13" Gen3. It does not have an opened end ilf groove. So the ilf...

    Has anybody heard about a fire at the plant that makes Dymondwood? From this link: http://rrpwhite.com/dymondwood/ Is this an impact on trad bow makers? I was on the edge of buying a Bear Takedown in Dymondwood, and was thinking maybe that it is now or never. The fire part is definitely...

    Norman Maclean, better known for 'A River Runs Through It', also wrote a book - "Young Men and Fire" - about the Mann Gulch fire of 1949, when 13 young fire fighters lost their lives. We have another tragic loss to fire, in Arizona, where 19 brave young men have lost their lives. Remember the...

    Will fire hardening my composite long bow make it brittle? Mess up my laminating? Pros and cons? Maple and birch, then gumtree lams after hardening.. Does this work? The limb are just one piece of maple, all the glued layers are in the riser. Just fire the limbs and not the handle and shelf...
