HH BUG GOT ME - Part Two!

Brianlocal3 · July 22, 2014, 09:22:00 PM

Well over the last few months I had sorta abandoned the ASLs in favor of my Berry Taipan to prepare for the worlds. Now that the shoot is over I busted out the Morningstar tonight.

I shoot it equally well as my Taipan and Viper BUT the ASLs seem to be more finicky of form flaws for me than the Taipan so I opted to increase my odds shooting it.

The MS is stacking them in tight out to 30 yards with the occasional big flyer so my goal is to focus solely on it from here on out and shoot it all next 3D season in hopes of shooting it in the Worlds next year .

It came in the mail today so the 1st thing was take off the old string and put a new broken in string on. This is the 1st group off of it before tuning....she's a shooter!

I have a question in regards to leather grips on Hill bows and rain. Last year I hunted many days in the rain with my Shelton and my grip would get soaked. Do you guys use anything to prevent moisture absorption in the leather or just deal with it?

Brianlocal3 · July 25, 2014, 10:22:00 AM

I personally just deal with it.

Mudd · July 25, 2014, 12:32:00 PM

Like Brian I just deal with it.

God bless,Mudd

For me, regarding a soaked grip leather, it would depend on whether or not the grip wood under the leather had a finish on it. My 7Lakes got soaked on the hog hunt in Jan of 13, as did everything else. I had peace of mind knowing Mike finished the Osage grip with a good clear coat. I put the grip on after picking up the bow from Mike. If I questioned the finish under the leather grip I'd make sure I treated it with something to help give peace of mind if it got a soaking.

Thanks for the responses. It wasn't so much of a problem on a one day soak for me but after several days in a row it was getting tacky and the black coloring from the smooth black leather was bleeding into my gloves and hands pretty good.

I let dry out really well then treated the leather with some Dr. Martins leather protectant. Maybe that will keep some of the moisture out for next time.

Oh no Paul, I hope it wasn't that gorgeous Tembo?
