I would really like to get into bow hunting and signed up for the hunter safety course here in Mass. Any advice on a good resource for the very very beginner?
I heard this song today and thought of all of us:

Hoppydaze, is that bottom picture a small elk? The antlers look like deer colors with an elk shape.
Elk. 6x6 not small ya jerk

He shot a buck, I was really surprised, but we couldn't find it. I think the shot might have just grazed him. We saw a couple spots of blood but that was about it. I'm really proud of him. He weighs maybe 110 lbs but he fires my Browning 12 ga 20" barrel with 2 3/4" slugs with no problem. He got a 20ga as a gift but it is light, and with 3" slugs it left a black and blue mark on his shoulder.
Worked this last week end on two bamboo backed bows, One is osage core the other is ipe. Got them tillered and overlays glued on the tips. All they need is a handle wrap and a few coats of finish. Also finished up an osage self bow. I guess with thirty or forty bows I am almost ready. Mike
I liked the fridge pic but I gotta say I must disapprove of having that much cocaine in your freezer
Ipe is a tropical wood. It is very hard and is similar to ebony only it is brown. Doesn't seem to have grain layers like wood here does. I thinks that is because they never freeze. It is spelled ipe but sounds like epay when pronounced, just like you would say ebay. Makes a fast hard hitting bow. Mike
