Title: Found a long lost old friend
Post by: Mudd on February 21, 2012, 04:41:00 PM: There was a thread about showing your selfbows and one of the posts was about some bows that made their reappearance after hiding for a long time in a bow tube.

Well I got me to thinking and digging around, sure enough I found one of my old favorites.

A selfbow made for me by Loyd Lippert.

60" sinew backed and covered with copperhead skins.

I got most of the dirt cleaned off of it and made it a new string.

It shoots just as well today as it ever did.

Post by: heydeerman on February 22, 2012, 06:05:00 AM: Speaking of old friends....I managed to get my old Firefly longbow back in a trade about a month ago. I sold it a couple years back when my brain farted and have regretted it since. It has made it's rounds on the classifieds and ended up in Oregon before it came home. Now I have one more old friend I would like to get back. It's a Quillian Bamboo Longhunter that cracked in the handle and Dean Torges fixed for me. I didn't trust it and sold it. I talked to a fellow that had it a few years back and that bow has killed just about every big game animal in North America. I just want her back so I can apologize to her.

Post by: ron w on February 22, 2012, 10:48:00 AM: Question.....why did you have that hidden away all this time, that's a neat bow and should have been used or hunted at least. Glad you got the old girl back out! :thumbsup: Have fun with it!!

Post by: loyd on February 22, 2012, 05:52:00 PM: looks familiar, is that an 02 on it. loyd
Title: Re: Found a long lost old friend
Post by: Mudd on February 22, 2012, 05:56:00 PM: Yes sir Loyd and she shoots just as good as the day I got it.

Any word on that little crooked stick with the sinew on it?

I have to believe that little horn bellied thing should fling an arrow.

God bless,Mudd

PS Thank you Loyd!!. Getting you to post anything is amazing...lol Are you ready for a warm weekend in July?

Post by: DVSHUNTER on February 22, 2012, 07:16:00 PM: Dont send it Jerry! He kills Loyd's bows. I think he has one tucked away somewhere and is trying to drive up the value by breaking all the others!

Roy,
Don't do it!!! You know what Jerry does to Loyd's bow! :biglaugh:
Title: Re: Found a long lost old friend
Post by: Mudd on February 23, 2012, 08:46:00 AM: Woohoo!! Loyd I guess I'll have to be a volunteer grandpa and offer you and Silvia my help on keeping all 6 of them corralled.....lol

Be careful what you say about the heat... I'm trying for another of those perfect weather years.

We know it's possible just not as likely even though they always schedule this for the coolest weekend in July...lol

God bless,Mudd

Bring that bow and maybe loyd to the get together this sat.
