Didn't know where to put this kind of stuff, so here's that place.
The Spring Run gate marker, has gone from an old deer target, to a leg quarter, to you had better turn around.

so I have started on making a new marker.

Those first two pieces are the head, and an elbow.

Need to figure out the body.

progress.

it is just stuck on a 3D target stake for now. not good.
but that is what it looks like so far.

I was way over thinking this.
just stuck it in a pipe used for paper targets, and done!

should be able to see it from down the road.

Thanks.

'I was going to put a sink plunger for the arrow tip, but it was to much weight.

Me being me, and OCD, I had to see if pvc gate marker guy could be better.
Got'm pretty much done, and the weather put me back inside.
Came back out to this.

But the good news is: It missed the truck! Yea!

original on the left, and version 2.0 on the right.

I can come down tomorrow and bring my chain saw and 8 ft step ladder.

Thanks , but just getting it off the van is not a problem. I'll be ok.
It rolled the rear rain gutter over the doors, and they will not open. Thats a problem!
But I still have a yard full of things to drive.

Ok, I guess some auto body work is on your "to do" list...

gnome · « **Reply #12 on:** July 07, 2019, 09:43:19 AM »

I'm thinking repair will exceed value on this one.

Being a conversion van, it has a soffit rear A/C system, and it that evaporator is damaged its toast.

a little scrounging turned up a source of sheet metal.

i miss having proper tools, and a maintenance/weld shop to work out of.
when you beat out sheet metal, with nothing but a hammer, it looks like its been beat by a hammer. :-(

first test fit , .... a little tight in the corner, but i'm tired of beating on this thing.

ugly as homemade sin, but it will keep the water out. Yea!

Robertfishes · « **Reply #14 on:** July 10, 2019, 05:31:15 PM »

good job!

gnome · « **Reply #15 on:** July 11, 2019, 02:53:09 PM »

Dropped off the gate marker this morning.

looked pretty good.
then thought maybe it had better set up in the weeds until sunday.

Robertfishes, maybe give mark or rob a call to let them know ?

This might be the last shoot before fall rendezvous

Is anyone interested in chronographing their bow/arrow comb before the rendezvou ?

I am working on a deflector shield, not that I, personally, have a tendency to shoot low, but i've heard about that kind of thing happening.

Thanks for another great year.

Down on the spring run, go'na have some big fun,
just shootn' some arrows 'n bows.
no scores to keep, just boars and sheep, and other kinds of foam.
so come bend a bow, lose an arrow, and feel right at home.
There's always go'na be a good lunch;
couldn't ask for a better bunch.
just shootn' some arrows 'n bows.
Fresh fish in the fryer, piggys on the grill.
Sorry ; no burgers on a bun, and chicken takes a back seat ,
'cause nothin' can beat what you hunt to eat.
Please no road kill.
Go'na have some big fun, down on the spring run,
shootn' some arrows and bows.

-gnome

Good luck, and hope to see everyone next season.
