May Old Acquaintance Be Forgot...

Not likely.
It's been a while, so I shot the Griz tonight.
He was in fine form...I reckon he was a little worried about all the fuss over the K-Mag and the Elk Seeker.You just keep a-worryin', little buddy...

And, yep; those are the retro-arrows I made last fall.

Dang Capt'n, that's some fine shootin my friend. Although I suspect I could put my bearcat in your mitts and we would see the same outcome.... I believe you are ready for October ; )

Keep it up and you might just connect this fall.

Forgot to mention, those arrows are almost too handsome to shoot for pre game ! As I've mentioned before, amazing craftsmanship.

[Captainkirk]

Nah. I build arrows to shoot. If I mess 'em up, why...just build more!
Those arrows have a back story. I built them to duplicate the arrows my Dad got me when I was around 10 or so...

Great backstory. I would say you nailed it !

[Captainkirk]

Matching colors was tough. The old ones had faded a lot...



You can't tell in this pic, but here I am shooting them about 50 years ago...



...and here is the bow. Yes, I still shoot it.

[Arcuites]

Thanks for sharing Capt'n ! That longbow is seriously bigger than you ! Your father did well. There is a sentimental side to all of you that very much rings true with me. Chasing traditional hunting is bigger than the sport IMHO.....

Sure are some purdy arrars! But the other feller in the old picture ain’t likin it!
