The Bowyer's Bench / Re: Writing on my bow.
Last post by Noah70 - March 24, 2026, 10:52:59 PM
Bryan, I ordered some logo stickers in gold last year, from Amazon. Price was good, wait time was short and they looked great on arrival. But the image was so thin that on application it became basically transparent, and the clear plastic sticker border was unsightly. Back to the drawing board.
I did a google search for "gold foil logo transfer" and found multiple options. What I wanted was a transfer that only applied the image and lettering, and the plastic backing peels away. I placed an order through Etsy for a product made in Switzerland, for a logo in gold foil.  Price was reasonable at under $1.00 each for 54 pieces. The reviews were all 5 stars, with applications onto glass, metal, etc.
I haven't received them yet, can let you know what I think when they arrive.
Cheers!

This is a little off subject but any ideas on how to put a logo/ company name  onto a bow limb are they sometimes screen printed? before finish gets sprayed  Or decaled under the glass wanting it to look good and I certainly can't do it with my handwriting .Any ideas ?

Quote from: Kirkll on March 20, 2026, 01:48:54 PMFor $53.00 a pint, i think i'll pass. :o  :o .. Glad it's working well for you. Too rich for my blood.
Yes, if you try and order it from the big online shopping site they sometimes ask a ridiculous price, I think the small bottle cost me about $30 Canadian. I have done at least 10 risers with it and only used half, again when you go to apply it you use as little as possible and you only fill the grain you try and wipe the rest clean. I've been using that small plastic squeegee. It's working well once dried it sands just like laquer.

PowWow / Re: Got him!

Yes I was shooting way high for me, and I never really shoot high. I am going to shoot my broadheads next and see in a controlled setting what they do. Probably get a way better ground blind for archery too. Guide won't insure tree stand hunting and they mainly have gun hunters who are not experienced hunters. Maybe I can get some leeway if I go there enough. I hate ground blinds and how much they restrict your FOV.

EDIT:

Just shot 5 broadheads that I took with me and zero issues except they went through the target, through cardboard barrier and into the back fence, so I unscrewed the shafts and then wiggled the heads themselves free by hand. Gotta re-sharpen now.

It seems that most of us tend to do most of our practicing while standing on the ground, either in the back yard or at 3D shoots. Early on (40 years ago), I would shoot high from a treestand. Learning to bend at the at the waist fixed the issue. Hung a ladderstand behind the barn and practiced until it became ingrained in my mind.
I tend to shoot high from a ground blind. Shooting thru the window messes with my depth perception. Don Thomas touches on this in one of his books, can't recall which one as I've read them all! He says shooting from blind requires more intense concentration on the "spot". Our peripheral vision sees the outline of the shooting window and for me anyway, makes the target appear further away. Not meaning to brag. but I've shot over the back of 3 turkeys and a black bear in three different states :banghead:! I now make it a point to practice from my blind before the season and carry a couple of judo points in my quiver during the season to get in a couple of practice shots from the blind.

Bidders are only bidding on one hunt. Highest bidder has the option to take both spots for twice the bid. Otherwise the second spot goes to the second highest bidder. 5.

Let it harden then chip it out with a small knife point. It breaks up once it is hard.

I have some interest in this.  I dont have enough bows under my belt to see what happened, but i laid up 2 bows one was meant to be 40 and the other 45.  When i glued up i was using bocote veneer in the 40lb stack and tineo veneer in the 45.  I had to swap which bow was going to end up being the 40lber because the tineo came in at 44 ish, veneer were similar thickness near .020 and the stacks were correctly glued up for the proper poundage.  So now i have a 40lb bocote finished at 45 and the tineo i took down until it hit 40.  I must have done something else because i cant see a bocote veneer at .020 being that much stiffer than a tineo veneer.
