Pulled out my little kodiak magnum. It’s the bow that got me started with recurves 4 years ago (gift from my barber and I promised him I would kill a deer with it) and I killed my first non compound deer with it that first year. It’s a 1973-75 model and 50lbs at 28”. My DL is about 28.5...

My first riser was ILF. And all my risers since have been ILF. It's great. I can buy and sell and trade limbs endlessly for all sorts of 'change.' But part of me has been thinking it would be really nice to just shoot an old traditional recurve off the shelf. String it up and shoot. No...

I'm not going to mention the sellers name (yet) and in hindsight?...I guess I should count my blessings that with as many bow, limbs and risers as I've bought and sold?...The worst thing that's ever happened was I paid $200 for a Herters with twisted limbs but managed to straighten those on my...

This is quite a rare piece of archery equipment. It was found in an archery tackle box and given to me as a Christmas gift. Unfortunately the silver mount on the thicker end is missing. It's made of ivory, approximately 65mm in length and at it's thickest 6mm in diameter ... .... just for fun...

Can anyone guess what I am about to do?

yesterday 'cause they pulled me up in front of everybody and gave me this.....

My daughter and I were shooting with another club member yesterday... We see and shoot with Him and his wife often. If your recurve is not acting right,, well then Robert (Bob) can see it. He will tell you if one limb is not right with the other. And all kinds of other pointers I get from...

I was fortunate enough to be selected, for the second year in a row, to participate in a managed archery hunt at Peck Ranch Wildlife Area in southern Missouri the first weekend in November. Hunted with a 55lb. Kodiak Magnum last year and got an eighteen yard shot at a nice eight point. Missed...

I guess I won't be shooting for a few days I was cutting the heads off of some screws with a hacksaw today. The saw jumped off the screw head but didn't miss my thumb. Cut to the knuckle bone and nicked the tendon. The picture was taken just before the inevitable lidocaine shot in the middle...

We are leaving Jazan on friday and heading to Marrakech Morocco for a holiday to regroup. Then we are going to Doha to check out the trades training college there. I had applied there this summer and had a job after we had no contract between service providers. I elected to come back here...

"ZEUS" being the adopted pet name of my newly acquired ultra-light form/target rig...and since it was storming rain today...yet I did get it tuned well enough that I had (1) bareshaft dialed in close enough to do so?...what better time to run up to the local pro shop to have it weighed and...

... the nock is ebony as is the "butt". The fletchings are Swan. It's 30inches from butt to nock. The butt is 1inch in diameter the shaft at the fletchings is 1/2 inch diameter. Made sometime around 1900/1910 by Belgian bowyer Arthur Dubery. Any guesses as to weight and spine?

Okay, if you didn't know, where would you say this one was taken? ;-)

Here they are Erich, my two recent acquisitions. The Gen 2 has Black Swan Hybrids on it, the Gen 1 has DAS camo WinEx. Enjoy! (I am)
