Congratulations on a great bear. I killed one up there a few years ago and Parker was my guide. He works hard for the clients in camp.

Thanks stringwacker.

That's great. I sure hope you have some stories to share it with us when the time comes.

Very nice!!

As I creep up on 100% retirement these distant shoots are starting to catch my eye.

Have done all different types of stain, and even painted the edges...... the only issue is being careful no to get any on the belly or back glass. If you do it needs to be sanded lightly with 320 grit paper before finishing.

Here is one I just finished with a snake skin camouflage paint job and black edges with 3 sets of limbs.

Okay, the mystery of the missing email icon in member posts has been solved.

Seems like the SMF developers removed the internal switch that had allowed users to send emails to other forum users because in this new SMF 2.1.4 release, "The option was removed to prevent scripts from abusing it to send spam."  Only Admins will see the email link on all member posts.

I would have preferred they loaded the forum with the email icon link option as an "off" default and let members decide its value and use.

I've always thought about building, or having built, an "all" black bow. I think the right style of bow would look real sleek and slick being all black. Black glass, black G10 riser, black tips - but you would always end up with the contrast of the edges of whatever limb core material you used. Would there be any good process to stain or color the core edges (maple, bamboo) before spraying on the finish?

Congratulations!
like Trenton, I haven't been drawn for anything yet...
