Sam, did you use a Hill broadhead on that pig?

Yes sir the first shot was a Hill head , it passed clean through and out the other side and just nicked the heart. The shot was low ( I thought it was lower ) so I hit her again with a Ribtec head just to make sure....

Hey Ray. Let's see a picture of that new Shelton. Steve's bows are always eye candy. I'm picking up a new back quiver from Steve at the Expo. I need a larger one to hold more arrows because of all my misses at rabbits and squirrels!!!

Vesty,
You'll have to wait until it's built. I was test driving a Shelton and a Whisper that he's bringing down to the Kalamazoo Expo as stock bows. They both shot well and spit the arrow out very similar. The Shelton just felt right in my hands. When we finished the order form I said so are you 9-10 months out and he said no, it should be sooner than that. I didn't want to know any more than that, because otherwise I'll start getting antsy. I'll definitely post pictures then, but who knows, maybe it will be on the third version of this thread.

That is one handsome longbow right there - the riser has some *nice* character!

Keep the wind in your face!

Shoot straight, Shinken

Beautiful exposed riser work Brian!

Ok, Guy's.
From what I have read here and there, A Forward handle ASL is supposed to nice and forgiving, And so Is string follow....
So my question is, Dose anyone have a forward handle string follow bow, If so, How dose it shoot....?
Inquiring minds want to know..LOL
Have a great day everyone....

WESTBROOK · January 31, 2015, 10:58:00 AM

Mike, Berry makes one, the Northstar...never shot one or any of his bows so I dont know any more than that.

ron w · January 31, 2015, 04:27:00 PM

Overspined · February 01, 2015, 04:14:00 PM

Gotta have the whole fam shooting Hill style! Finished the leather and string work today..she helped with great interest and was complaing she didn't get to hunt deer this year! She's 10 so I like the enthusiasm..I just bought rattle snake skins for a bow and we sewed the rattle to her quiver, huge smiles! Lol

C'mon Overspined, couldn't you have stained the lams pink as well? They'd match your fletchings.

Here's some of my latest quivers. Making them gives me something to do and keeps me out of trouble.lol Been really enjoying it. I have another post on Pow-wow.

akbowbender · February 01, 2015, 05:43:00 PM

Nice work there! I need to jazz up the quivers I've made to keep up with you!

All I've done lately has been using up the scraps from quiver making to make string keepers and a few broadhead sheaths.

Yesterday, I was going to look at some latigo leather that Tandy has on sale, but by the time I got into Anchorage, the store was closing up. Forgot that they closed early on Saturdays.

Chuck, antler buttons are easy to make and what better place to display them than on a quiver. I'm planning on making some accessory pouches like my old HH quiver has. Also thought about some knife and file pockets on the quivers as well. Its been fun trying different things. The quiver with V front is easier to put arrows back in. Good luck on your crafting. Its addicting.
