It's about time!

Finally had a good opportunity to drag out the old bendy stick and heave a few arrows down range this evening. Went with the Black Beauty (1969 Bear Super Kodiak), partially because it's easier to draw after the off season at 40#, but mostly because I shoot tighter groups with it than any bow I own, consistently. That, and it looks cool...

I shot a few the other day just to get back in the swing of things. I have a new 66" Wild Horse Creek longbow on order that should be here sometime in July. Looking forward to that!

I'm looking forward to some pix of your new eye candy, Darren!

The other day I had one of my bows in my hands and dusted it off thinking I should try and get myself back in the groove. I went looking for a string to put on it and then it started pouring down rain for the rest of the day. The bow is a recurve that I got at an estate sale some years back. I think I got it for $40 buck or less. It is a 30# bow, which I thought would give me an idea about my abilities since I am still dealing with my shoulder issues.

Tom, I can make you a string for it, if you want one. Just tell me the AMO bow length, what color string you want, and where to send it.

A 30# bow will allow you to work up strength...gradually...without doing major damage, Tom. I think it's a great idea!

Thanks for the offer Darren. I really appreciate it! I should have 3 or 4 around here some where. I just have to make sure the one I use is Dacron and not D97. There's no tip overlays on this one.
