As I set back on my stool relived that I had made a good shot, and thankful for all the excitement. That is when the panic hit me. DID I HAVE THE CAMERA ON THE BIRD AND DECOY WHEN I SHOT?!It all happened so fast I could not remember for sure. Instantly I rewound the video to check. Yep, there it is. Perfect! What a wonderful morning!

Hey Tom,thanks for reminding me.   :D   I did kill this bird with my new ILF riser.It is the 13" version.I was shooting my carbon and foam recurve limbs.The arrow is a goldtip and the broadhead is a 1 1/4" 250 grain terminator. Just like big Jim just ordered.

I realy like these ILF bows.I took this same bow pig hunting in S.C. with Benjy.It was set at 54# then.I just got it back from Benjy, just in time to work up another arrow for the lighter weight.Yea, I had to wine and cry to get my bow back.   :p   Since I have not been shooting like I should be I turned it back to 50#.Gotta love the versatility.Even better, once you get her retuned.It is just like any other take down bow.I realy have not found a down side.

Joe,gonna be a while on the video.This one will be on our second dvd.

.400 spine arrow,Mike.Once you go pink....Well you know!Your limbs are done,and should ship tomarrow.I am putting in an arrow Benjy sent for you to try.He has a set of limbs that are the same weight as yours.

Don, Any tales from  Nebraska?  

I believe that when it is left over wild turkey the proper spelling is sammich,John.  :D  How goes the N.C. season.I expect you and Don have them stacked up like cord wood.
