When you shoot a 3 pc bow you don't really need a back-up bow... just a spare set of limbs with specs. very close to the ones you plan on using.

I have a Shawnee/Dakota set up just that way [ 2 sets of Dakota "D" longbow limbs.. 1@57# and 1@58# ]..sure makes the planning simple.

and saves space in the luggage for extra long underware for those cold Moose hunts

Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately i only got one set of limbs and their not enough time to get another set made.

Take care.

Tatersalad, just kiddin with Mike. He's gonna build me a bow when he gets back.

Sounds like two winning set-ups....good luck!

The thing about Jason's and my setups is we can shoot each others and John's is very close too.

So we are each others backup bows.

Wingnut, how are you liking those actionwood limbs? Hope you and Jason get so much meat you can't hardly get it all out.

Have a great time and remember what Rod taught us when the moment arrives.

wingnut · August 22, 2010, 06:44:00 PM

Actually we have switched from maple to AW for our basic core wood and I like it a lot. It's not bamboo but it's a lot better then maple.

Hope you have a wonderful adventure and anxiously await the tale told here with hero pics.

What is the current turn around time for a set of longbow limbs?

Mike Vines · August 22, 2010, 07:51:00 PM

Good luck, and post lots of pictures.

wingnut · August 25, 2010, 07:50:00 AM

we leave tomorrow for the great white north. It's hard to sleep at night waiting for this too happen. We are spending the first week in Anchorage with the family doing the sightseeing stuff and then John flies in on the 3rd and we shift to Moose hunting.

Good luck Mike!! Tell Jason to watch out for you!

You have one of the coolest sons ever in that young man.

I wish I could find my grapevine back quiver he made for me when he was still a youngster. I put it up... somewhere...lol

Good hunting too!

God bless,Mudd

PS: Tell Connie I said hello too!

John/Alaska · August 25, 2010, 11:10:00 AM

Good luck Mike! Give me a shout when you guys get to Tok if you have a chance. I may be out early in the general season. I'm leaving later today for the early hunt that opened yesterday & closes this saturday. As you may already know caribou opens the 29th for the area that you are moose hunting but it might be already closed by the time that you get here. Later...

wingnut · August 25, 2010, 01:25:00 PM

John,

Send me a PM with your phone number so I can give you a call. Also might need to unloads some moose meat if we get real lucky.

Mike

John/Alaska · August 25, 2010, 02:34:00 PM

Mike - Sent you a couple of emails including answering your caribou question. Moose meat is always accepted. My buddy Terry has a cooler & freezer set up for chilling meat & storage if you need it. 40 Mile has his number posted there.

Have fun playing tourist. Hopefully the weather will cooperate for you. Its raining some here today so I expect to get a bit soaked going in to my camp this afternoon.

Later - John

hayslope · August 25, 2010, 05:26:00 PM

Mike - Good luck to you guys!

We'll be expecting a detailed report with lots of photos when you return.

I have to wait until mid-October for my moose hunt....but I'll gladly read about other folk's moose adventures until then.......

Have a great hunt!

Irish · August 25, 2010, 10:20:00 PM

August 25, 2010, 11:56:00 PM

Good Luck, Mike! I'll be looking for the pics in the Highlights forum.
