    We've been shooting from our top deck. I'll grab some shots next time we're out! If you don't mind the wheel bows!

    Don't have many pictures but started shooting again for the first time since before my shoulder surgery a year and a half ago. Just sold the bow on the right to my uncle that wants to start bow hunting with me. It's a Mathews Z7. The one on the left is my Heli-M that I'm still in love with.

    Those shots were legitimately the first 2 arrows off my bow since October of 2014. All beginners luck because now I'm back to making 2.5" groups at 30yds like I'm just learning how to do it. Had to retrain my body (especially my left shoulder) in how to shoot again. I'll get back to plugging ping pong balls in no time I think.

    Love it! Do a build along!

    I have a Centaur longbow that I love shooting and a Javaman due in February 2018 (grad school graduation present), but a selfbow built by me is on my list of to-dos...

    Hmm. place holder for my Big Jims Buffalo bow, coming just as soon as I figure out how to post pics. Nice piece of osage too, that requires way more skill than I have right now, I can't wait to see pics of the finished longbow.

    I will be doing that. It will just need some time. I plan on starting the process in a couple of weekends. But that will only involve me getting it down to a certain point. The Osage stave was cut down in May 2016 and the rule of thumb is to let it dry out for a minimum of 9 months. The work I will be doing in a couple of weekends will getting it down enough to help the drying process but not ruin the project. I will be using my GoPro during the work.

    I worked on the osage stave this Saturday. Made a video which will be posted later but it is a crappy video. I lost a bunch of the middle parts. I got the intro and end parts but the parts in between that were filmed in lapsed time....well I only have 2 of the 8 I was going to use. For some unknown reason to me they disappeared.

    Just got on Javaman's custom bow list for a graduation present to myself (~16 months left). Still love my Centaur, if I find any time to fling a few arrows I'll snap a few pics...

    I snapped this pic while Julia was shooting her longbow.
    Deadwood Longbow with Wapiti arrows.
    Both are custom made.
