I Coulda Been a Contender?
This little bow was inspired by mostly badger and Griffin too, for that matter. Steve gifted me a little 56" boo-osage screamer he was working on for a flight bow. He retillered it down from over...

I have a lot of pictures and will upload a couple here. The most nerve wracking part was getting past the weigh-in held on Friday morning. I knew that it was very close to the 50# cut-off for the...

Congrats! 347 yards is quite a distance!Are you not allowed to replace the string when it is broken?Bucco

I used the split cane arrows from my build-a-long. Both James and I used a primitive hook & loop release which is allowed for this class. It was pretty hot but very dry. I almost couldn't drink...

Cool, love the pics. What does a primitive hook and loop release look like?
View ArticleRe: I Coulda Been a Contender?

The bow is back in the mail to David Brunetta in Hawaii. Here is some last info in it. The string is 85 grains (slightly dampened), I think it was about 12 strands of 25/3 linen. The loops are...

David, I saw this beautiful bow at the flight shoot. It looked like something Alan would design! I was impressed when I learned someone else had designed and built this. (If you have seen his arrows,...
