The Bowyer's Bench / Re: Riser crack
Last post by Bodork - Today at 04:45:03 PM
Here is a pic from the bottom.  As you can see, I laminated several pieces together to make the riser. Could that have anything to do with it? Also, it has a set of carbon limbs with FF string about 48#. Could that be a contributing factor?

Also, it has a set of carbon limbs pulls around 48# with FF string. Do these factors contribute?

 :thumbsup: Love it. My youngest started the same way. I think he had a bow in his hand before he could walk. Got his degree (B.S. from Texas A&M Kingsville), and makes his living on one of the largest, most historic ranches in Texas. Living his (and a lot of other people) dream. Have to love the home-drawn bear target. Great stuff! Bring them up right.

Thanks for explaining where the radius needs to be.
I was kind of wondering if the dymondwood had anything to do with it. I've seen tons of risers crack there but this was a first for me. I'd rather avoid it again if I can!

I wouldn't worry about the brace so much if it's performing okay at that BH. Hitting to the right would indicate a weak spine. I would say 300 up front is lot. But that's just me. BH isn't going to really effect the spine on a macro level, BH in my opinion is just finding where the bow performs the best (usually by the sound) and feel of it in your hand. Bows behave aggressively when their brace height isn't set appropriately.

At 68 (tomorrow), I'm definitely now thinking about all the excess. I have about three lifetimes of 'stuff' that I will never use. What I can't sell or give away likely becomes landfill refuse in a few years when my wife gets rid of it.

Your question...I have the best luck on Ebay. Lots of exposure usually means better pricing. I like not having to ship it until the buyer has made payment to Ebay. At least for me, its always been fool proof.

It was a rather difficult week, only three javelinas killed. James D got two and McDave got one. The wind was tricky all week, and the temperture was all over the place.

I had a 45 minute stalk on a hog in daylight, and I shot an arrow through his chest. He went into thick cover and we could not find him. The arrow was coated front to back with blood.

The hogs started coming into our night set up in daylight...just a wierd week.

PowWow / Re: TURKEY HUNTERS
Last post by Stringwacker - Today at 01:01:09 PM
I probably qualify as a 'die hard turkey hunter"; albeit NOT a die hard turkey killer. I often bill myself as the worlds worst turkey hunter with a bow. That said, I have scatched down a handful over the years. The best advice is to shoot close enough that you can hit a tennis ball all the time.

Turkeys are easy to kill with any sharp broadhead; it's hitting them in the right place that is hard. Any reasonably weighted arrow (IMHO 450 grains and up) works. I tend to change my broadheads from my normal hunting setup from a two blade Eskimo, Bear, or Magnus to something like a wider Simmons head for turkey (currently the two blade Landshark). I do like a string tracker for some insurance.

Good luck!
