I was wondering what kind of recuves they shoot.one brother shoots a recuve that has snake skin and i was wondering what kind of bow it is.thanks john
I think a morrison! thats what he killed woody with.
The last I remembered, Barry was/is shooting a Dale Dye bow and Gene was/is shooting a Morrison. Unless they have recently changed bows.

I work with Gene and Barry on a regular basis (I designed/manage their website) and also have shared hunting camps with them for several years. Barry currently shoots a Dale Dye recurve. He shoots split fingers off a little finger of a rest that he places very close to the shelf. Gene shoots a Morrison TD most of the time (Three fingers under off shelf). He owns a Dakota and Shawnee w/recurve limbs. Yes, he shot "Woody" with a Morrison TD recurve. His bows have Canebrake and Copperhead skins. I have tons of pictures posted at www.brothersofthebow.com (http://www.brothersofthebow.com)
Gene does have a snakeskin fetish......
Biggie - I hope you mean with his bows :)
Steve
In Masters of the Barebow II Barry does a shooting section and describes his bow pretty thoroughly. I believe Gene and Woody are also shown on the Morrison website.
Gene is on MBBI with his shooting section and bow description. dino
Barry no longer shoots a Dale Dye, though did for years. As well as a Schaefer Silvertip. both very quality bows!

I'm setting here in the wee hours of the morning and can't sleep and am browsing this forum and reading this post thinking "Who is Woody? and "Did he really shoot one of his brothers?". Naw can't be. Then I follow the link see "Gene's Tribute to Woody". I'm thinking "Dang that's strange you'd put a tribute on your website to the brother you shot in a hunting accident.". This is going to be interested. Then I see Woody is a HONKing whitetail deer. You dope go back to bed! :smileystooges: :bigsmyl: :biglaugh:
Dad (Barry), shoots a beautiful Dale Dye although he owns various others. Uncle Gene shoots Morrison. Wonderful bows.
blacktailchaser You can also read about the Wensels in last fall (2007) edition of The Bowyers Journal. See article "Bow Brothers".
Brad and Jason Wensel, disagreeing on what Dad (Barry) shoots...this oughta be good....
Biggie, you know my little bro don't know what he's talkin' 'bout. We gave each other a hard time about it already. He expressed his sincere apologies and readily agrees that big brother knows best. At least that's what I got outta the conversation...
I love it!!!!!!! LOL :)IM big brother , big brothers alway know best!!! :thumbsup:
I'd like to know if it was the right son or the wrong son who called him (Barry) last year when we were pig hunting just as one of the little porkers was coming out of the brush???
He has a tough time remembering to turn the cell phone off...
Barry had a different bow pig hunting last year than the Trails End. I think it was a lighter weight, shorter Fedora. Hurting shoulder I think.
What issue of the Boyers Journal was the article in? I don't get that one but always love reading about my heroes ;)
I may be wrong but Steve O is correct from what I remember, Jay says he got a new Dye, but at christmas he was shooting a Fedora. Alright guys, let the truth be told, he carries a recurve with him in camp but he always "scouts his areas" before he hunts and drops off his Mathews at the stand. Call him on it!
Steve, It was the fall/winter issue 2007 of TBJ. I think you could consider it the current issue, since I have not received a new one yet and they come out 4 times a year.
Mike
How does one get the Bowyers Journal? Sounds like good reading...Thanks, Paul
Brad and Jason are just bitter that they're not in Pig Camp, HA! Brad was with us at the Uno Mas last year, but poor old Jason has to teach during prime time:^(. Sorry Jason, I just had to rub that in. You probably know that I retired from teaching last year after 30 years of missing "prime time". Your freedom will come! Meanwhile, I'm off to TX in a couple days to keep your dear old dad in line. Hey, and whoever called Barry on stand the other afternoon, well, you're in good comapny:^). Gene told me that I did the same thing one day last week . . . of course, Barry COULD remember to turn his phone off once in a while - I was just trying to leave hime a message.
PBNJ The Bowyers Journal is an advertising sponsor af this site and you can just click on the ad at the top of the main forum page. Mike
Mike is right....you should get a copy of the last issue of TBJ. (The new one will be shipped soon)There is an article called "Grandpa's Walking Stick" that is pretty good, too....:)
That would be me (Jason)calling at prime time. It was only because I AM jealous that I can not be there. I have some time off in Feb as well but it lies directly between 2 hunts (just my luck). Oh well, I guess I'll have to settle for Africa this summer! :)
By the way, somebody tell Dad (or even better, show him) that there is a vibrate ring on his phone. I'm gonna keep calling at prime time until he does. The guy can scan the woods and tell you where the big buck is gonna come from but he can't frickin' change the ringtone on his phone. Ridiculous!!! LOL
Jason you are so right! Speaking of phones, Uncle Gene was so tired from helping track a deer the night before that he just could not stay in the tree past 11:00 AM. Now this is in Nov. So, he gets down and rests his eyes a bit. Well you guessed it. His phone goes off and wakes him up. He looks around to see if anyone is watching....yep ... a big Ol' buck is standing 20 yards away, LAUGHING. No shot! No video footage! Mike
"The guy can scan the woods and tell you where the big buck is gonna come from but he can't frickin' change the ringtone on his phone." AMEN JASON!!!! I may have to tutor him next week. Hey, I forgot about your Afican trip . . . African winters coincide with school summer vacations, yep, now I'm jealous!
Barry was shooting his Dale Dye last week at the pig hunt in Texas. Please don't show him how to change his cell phone to vibrate mode as he may think he now has a pocket massager to take with him to the woods.
you guys are most definitely disrespecting the elders here!! Maybe someday we'll have to have an "ol mossyhorns vs. young whippersnappers" shoot. you kids get to run from target to target: we'll be in the truck!
Seriously, you all make me sad I'm not able to hang out and hunt with y'all. I've never had so much fun reading the great banter, which only would come from true brothers of the bow. Thanks for allowing me to be a small part of a great group! I retire next Feb. and then, things will change :jumper:
John- Pocket Massager! Hahahaha! It was great meeting you and Doug and I wish we would have been able to say goodbye on our way to Dallas. I'm sure our paths will cross again somewhere down the road. Take care, Tyler
Jason, you can come back down and kill hogs with me and Biggie anytime you want. Africa will be the best !!
I'm sitting here with my cell phone in hand pondering whether to call Barry now or not. Gene left me a message to call "after seven" since Barry was "on stand" the other night when I called:^). Made me feel guilty, well, sort of. Jason's inspired me to maybe wait and call tomorrow, say, around six or so. HA!
Speaking of Gene, he's running a deceptive little voice mail greeting of late. "Hello . . . HELLO . . . hello? . . . GOT YA, I ain't here, this is Gene, leave a message." The first time I heard this I thought HE was on stand whispering or that there was a bad connection. Can't wait to duel with the guys next week . . . oh yeah, I've been looking for one of those life size cutouts of a Dallas Cowboy cheerleader. Barry's always insinuating that the hunts will be located close to the gals training camp. Wonder what the bros would do if I popped up one of those close to camp?? Can you say "spotlight"?? HA!
Marty, I am counting the days. That was some fun stuff. Also counting the days until my Africa trip. Gene sent me the new DVD that you star in. You seemed to be struggling as you drew back your bow. Although the camera does add 10 pounds, right :) ? My daughter says to tell you you're "silly" when you run up to your Kudu. Can I have your autograph?
Later, gotta call my Dad. He should be on stand right about now. See ya.
Gary, Try fatheads.com. Lifesize vinyl stick-ons of the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders. You can stick them on any wall you want. Send my Dad the bill. If he won't pay we'll harrass him for false advertisement. :) Later
Gary...Gene's been pulling that phone message trick for 10 years now...he has to get some new material.
So I'm on stand in Kansas this year, prime time and my phone vibrates. It's Uncle Barry but I have a decent 4x4 under me so I don't answer. He leaves me a message telling me DO NOT CALL HIM BACK HE'S ON STAND! Well the little fat turd knew I was on stand when he called...but I guess that's ok..
Jason, don't ask Marty for an autograph. he can't handle it. He had a groupie awhile back and told the guy to kiss off....
Great comments guys. Love the sibling banter.
Marty , where is that place of yours that the Wensel boys frequent? Can't be too far from my place north of Kenansville-
Don, The Thompson brothers talked about it. A little place called Fisheating Creek.Turkey season opens in 3 weeks, but who's countin? Biggie spends a lot of spare time around here too.In fact, he just picked up his lifesize hog mount from there the other day. He hasn't posted any pic's of it yet though.After payin for the mount, his power was cut off.
Jason, you're right about that website! I found it last night. Man, I would have ordered one of them if I could get it here in time to take it with me. I was going to stick it on a stiff backing and sit it up within Maglight range of the bunkhouse!! I'll be in Dallas Sat. night, maybe I'll can find something similar:^)
Biggie, you're cracking me up - not to mention giving me some material to work with, HA! Yes, Gene's used that before, but I think his acting is improving . . . perhaps, or maybe landing the Primal Dreams narrating gig went ot his head.
Ah, Marty, I thought it may be the Legendary Fisheating Creek. No wonder the Wensel boys like to go there. Never been there myself but have heard of it since I was a boy, (and Lovett Williams worked for the state). We're not too far away on the "not quite as legendary" Woodson Hunt Club on Deseret.
The whole Wensel clan likes to come down for the hog hunting yes, but mainly they come for Marty's camp cookery.
Well, the fat Wensels do anyway.......

"Wenselkid" Jason with one of his Florida rooters
Biggie- you sure you are not Jason's father, look at that resemblence. Did he shoot that pig "a little far back". At least he shot one though huh?
Marty- you come out of the closet yet?
MArty- I am not invited? lower your mud rig and I won't be breaking my ankle chasing those little ba#$%rds.
Marty.
You have an African video and you didnt send ME one?
That's it...I'm taking all your pictures off my photobucket so they drop off the thread on here about your trip just for that little oversight!!!!!!!
Hope you guys have a great time!!!!
Brad, of course you can come back. Last time you spent most of the time with that foot in a cooler of ice, I thought maybe you might be a little scared to come back.
Ray,Oh no, I am getting old and forgetful. You are right, I should be flogged. If you e-mail me your address, It'll be on the way.But, if you woulda showed up, you'd have your own video!!!!!
"A little far back!!?" That, my bro, is a picture perfect 15 yard quartering away entrance hole. The exit was right through the goodies. She didn't go far....not a monster hog, but nice for a first one.
I spent my entire time in Florida concentrating on using the stairs when I entered and exitted the buggy. Not once did I feel the need to jump. Therefore I spent my entire vacation in the woods chasin the little piggies and not soaking my swollen ankle in a cooler of ice. We'll make sure you try that next time, OK? Sometimes little brothers gotta learn the hard way.
