Did you try a Google search? I had some old buckles I tried to ID and Google search gave me some answers.Take a pic in Google Search.
The only Robbie Robinson I know of was a member of The Band a rock group from the 60s and 70s and Bob Dylan's band back in the 60s.

For $53.00 a pint, i think i'll pass.   .. Glad it's working well for you. Too rich for my blood.

Pure Olympic archery form works very well for what it is designed for: shooting arrows from long known distances over flat ground at a bullseye target. Long recurves and stabilizers, upright posture, and long hold times is not a good recipe for hunting.

Traditional archery hunting form was not designed by anyone.  It evolved over many years before recorded history, using shorter heavier draw weight bows unburdened by a lot of gadgets, heavy arrows, and short to non-existent hold times to be optimal for hunting game in rough terrain at short distances where hunting skills can be substituted for long-distance shooting skills.

We can learn from Olympic archery style, as long as we don't become frozen into the parts of it that were designed specifically for shooting with upright posture at long distance targets over flat ground.  For example, Terry Green has taken what is good Olympic alignment and adapted it to the needs of traditional hunting.  I don't know whether Terry invented the expression "Archery happens from the waist up," but this is definitely not something that is taught in Olympic archery training, or in training to hunt with compound bows.  It is a concept that is particularly applicable to hunting with a traditional bow in situations where uptight posture just doesn't work, and it may be necessary to bend, twist, squat and cant the bow.  I have also used this concept to teach disabled people to shoot from wheelchairs.

It's always a good idea to keep an open mind and use what works and reject what doesn't.

It was nice meeting you Ramjet!

When we were at the PBS banquet last week, we sold at least 6 of them to elk hunters

Quote from: Crooked Stic on March 15, 2026, 08:44:05 AMI see you can buy it by gallons. Is it sprayable. Can it be used under a solvent finish like Krystal?

Stic iam not really familiar with Krystal but i think once its cured and sanded i think you could top coat with most bow finishes. They do recommend applying the least amount of product only filling the grain so I don't think you'd wanna spray it.

I buy it from a specialty finishing shop here hes also the Mirka dealer so i buy all my sand paper ect from him you should be able to find it ... it is made in the usa, i buy the smallest bottle a little goes a long ways i will fill a complete riser one coat with 2 finger dabs of finish .. i used a small flexible auto body plastic bondo spreader and that worked really good flexes around the contours of your riser leaving very little on the surface and fills the grain..... i did a wenge riser tonight 3 coats sanding in between with UV light to cure i was ready for finish spray in about an hour, sands real easy just like laquer.

A friend recently gave me a box full of archery club pins and various belt buckles. It's obvious to see where they came from but I was wondering if anyone might clue me in to why these have the red and white enamel. In a search, I can only find them without the enamel. I thought perhaps it signified a second and third place for the shoot? If so, is it possible to find who won them? The guy who gave them to me didn't know anything about them.

There was an empty plastic case among the bunch with the name Robbie Robinson.

In western WA the grey squirrel is protected. They are a pest along with several other critters. When I had a few bird feeders, the squirrels, racoons and possums would raid the feeders and knock the feeders down, which resulted in a big mess. My two dogs, did not care for the squirrels and were able to catch a few trying to escape over the fence. After I took the feeders down they ceased to be a problem and their fleas were gone too.  If I lived in Eastern WA, where there is no restriction, I would put out the feeders and shoot the squirrels. But, I would rather hunt rabbits. quail, grouse and other small game in season.

I got to him and his display at the Wisconsin traditional archery banquet a few weeks ago. Very interesting for sure.
