Jamesh76 2020 hunting thread and the hunt continues

#1 Post by Jamesh76 »

Season Starts Tuesday. Might as well get this going. I intend to be in a stand Wednesday morning. Not exactly sure what bow I will be taking. Need to shoot a little more and tune some. Hope I get time.
My Osage selfbow needs a little more work on the handle and shelf. The portion of riser just above the shelf I didn't quite get even. The part above the arrow rest on the belly side needs thinned a little more to match the outside edge. Didn't notice this until my buddy and I put several arrows through it last night. We only shot at 10-12 yards, but this thing slings an arrow. I also had a 66" all oak bow I almost have finished we were shooting side by side. The osage shot so much harder. Both bows are 40-42# at 28". I am not cut very close to center. I probably need to see what I have for 35-40 spine arrows. I got several just have to sort and find them. This osage bow MAY go on a date with me Wednesday Am if I can get everything to come together. Hoping for a great season!

Good luck James. I hope the osage bow works out for you.

I figured the osage bow would respond better, besides, it just looks better IMO. hope you get a shot with it. just something about being in the stand with a trad bow much less one that you made. maybe next year you will have some cane arrows ready. have fun James

Day 1. Something moving 40 yrds away and a turkey gobble. Hunting Big Oak which is a pinch point on their travel route. Lots of acorns on this property.
