My dad was in a hurry to get to his spot last year. He was driving down the highway at 50 mph and what should he see in his rear view mirror, but his black widow skipping down the highway.  I guess other than a few little nicks and bumps it was fine and he killed a couple deer with it later that fall.  After that, he quickly ordered a backup bow

Seems as though the common denominator is you Barry...perhaps not the bow. I have that same characteristic, extremely good looking people do not have the genes to be easy on bows. The look on Brians face when I jammed my TT's into the back of the pickup box uncased was priceless.

Looking forward to the next TT's story...thanks!

I might have missed out on the good looking gene but I got the tuff on my bow one.   I've had my TT less than a year have already fallen on it with a pack full of elk meat, smacked a branch with my upper limb on a shot at a deer, and dropped it in the rocks when my bow hand was a little too relaxed on a practice shot.  Couple of very small scratches but none worse for the wear.  They are tuff suckers.

The key to Uncle Barry's Tall Tines not being put out of commission yet is that he's managed so far to not have fallen ON TOP OF THE BOW:)!!

Gary, yeah I did.. when I took that bad fall I rolled right over top of the bow with the attached bow quiver on it. That's how the quiver got all busted up. I also landed in the middle of five scattered broadheads. It was also interesting I had my backpack on and it also flew off, even though I had both arm straps and the waist belt buckled. I was really fortunate. I ended up with a chipped tooth and 180 square inches (I measured them, ha) of black and blue but the bow was fine. In fact, I shot Hurley a couple days later. Brian's bows are tough! bw

Barry, I thought I was the only one that did stuff like that.

Barry,
The more I read how things seem to happen to you I seem to get that image of those "Warning" this could happen to you labels on moving parts that could result in loosing a limb or something...Maybe Brian can put a sticker label on his bows with a stick figure of Uncle Barry ..    

How in the world would you draw a stick figure of Barry.........      

That is a tuff bow my friend. Wow.

What sort of person MEASURES his black and blue marks? I wonder if Mike Tyson ever measures his? Shoot, I'm just going to quit using my haul line to lower my Tall Tines....

Now that right there is funny!!

Haul lines, bow ropes???      

I always just pitch my Tall Tines down in the leaves.

As Wessel's list of "NO WARRANTY" clients builds and builds!

I threw my Talltines longbow at a boar hog in SC too but didn't make contact Barry. I then had a wardrobe change...am on the build list again. Gonna ask for the Barry Bomb Proof warranty    

Muzzy,
Now we got to get that pic and have it develeoped and made into a stick on label so Brian can put these on his bow limbs when sending out and have written "Never let this fella shoot your bow"...Barry does make a good warning label and you were easy on drawing the middle portion of that pic weren't you?      All in fun Uncle Barry we need a good laugh...

:eek:
