HH BUG GOT ME - Part Two!

[centaur]

Now that I am out of the frozen north for a while, I look forward to breaking some POCs on the Arizona rocks in the next few days. Just me and the Morningstar, roving in the desert. Not a bad way to spend some time.

I got a phone call, I do not know if he is a TGer or not. Anyway, he had a sliver pop out on one of his all bamboo bows.  I do not know which make it was, he has them from several different bowyers. I told him to glue it down with the running kind of super glue and maybe pinch that down with wraps of tape.  Then maybe mask off short sections, sand and then serve it with something like light Fireline that is coated with epoxy. Did I tell him right or did I tell him wrong?

that's the way to do it, but do it in reverse - wrap first, then wick in a quality water thin cya just to the wrap area.  the cya will get sucked into the sliver and hold it and the thread quite fast.  can leave as is or wipe on a thin coat of polyu.  

not sure if the cya will penetrate into that sliver of 'boo?  press a thumb and forefinger together as tight as yer muscles will allow.  with a toothpick grab a teeny drop of quality (hobby shop grade) water thin cya about the size of a small pin head, then put that drop anywhere that those fingers meet.  wait five seconds.  you ain't gettin' those fingers apart without the aid of a liberal amount of acetone.  the cya wicked completely to both compressed surfaces of those fingers.  

Thanks, I will pass this along right now.

Well I went a done it, ordered a Big 5,  47# @28  66inches...It should be "just right"....have shot a lot of American flatbows from various makers, even owned a "Old Ben" Ben Pearson for a while, I could only shoot that one about a dozen times comfortably, so it had to go to someone else, was a trade item with a neighbor and I sent off to a benefit auction/shoot, anyways thought a HH would be just the way to start off the new year, should have some arrows that'll work, may have to dial that in a bit, looking forward to indoor winter league!

Lots of great stuff happenin' here!  Congrats all.

Oh, and by the way, Mr. McBroom is building one heck of a nice string follow Hill style.  Great value, performance, looks, extremely smooth to shoot, and dead in the hand at the shot.

I am thinking of shooting competitive 3d this year with a HH Wesley Special or do I need a "special " target bow like a Fox Triple crown?

[Hermon]

Unless you just want a new bow, your Wesley Special will work just fine.  Remember it is the person behind the bow more than the bow itself.

Greaseman....
   They should have a longbow class, you won't compete against recurves....

It is January 5.  On your marks, get set, count your change jars, call gramma and tell her she one of your favorite grammas, sell the chickens, pick up pop cans, and... there is something I am forgetting.

That's good because I didn't want to buy another bow.

Rob a bank, maybe?    

Oh, I remember what I was forgetting.  If the starting price is going be more than a bow that anyone can order, they can keep it and I won't be going out in this blizzard to look for empty beer cans in the ditches.

Ok ?

Anyone got pics of the new Hill bow?
