Re: Elk Seeker longbow build
Okay!
The build bow, along with two others, finally have finish on them. I will try and get some pictures and get them posted tomorrow night. I will be tied up most of the day in Missoula Mt seeing my VA doctor about my shoulder and abdominal issues. Hopefully it will be good news. I really want to get back to shooting the bows the required amount of time to be confident to make the shot.
The Finish is Gem Coat Fullerplast Satin, which I found out the other day has been discontinued.

Re: Elk Seeker longbow build
Here is the last of them.
Tomorrow I want to take time to get draw weights from 25" to 31" draws to get an idea what the force draw curve may be like.

Man o man. And that draw weight is perfect.
Nothing clears a troubled mind like shooting a bow.
