Will this be a headline when all firearms except .22 bolt actions are made illegal? Just wondering.

Yup that is why I am stocking up now.
Weird because I actually saw a fair number of folks at bass pro and SW today with archery stuff... glad I have had mine since I was 14....
Ammo is a lot cheaper for bows then rifles.
Arrow cost 6-10$ and broad heads 20. bullets 1$ each on good day? Ammo's cheaperQuote:

Might get arrows back with grouse but still end up breaking them, I've never had whole arrow survive a hit through deer or elk. Unless you miss and are lucky enough to find the arrow. Then your good for another try.... :)Quote:

Making my new bow right now, will be done in a few more weeks. I'll post up pics when it's done.
I have been reading up on building bows. I plan on building my own recurve in the near future.
I'm not worried in this case. I have enough high capacity ammo magazine mass destruction weapons with shoulder things that go up and big box springs, that I can always shoot the guy carrying the bow and take it if I need it.
Lot's of work and not an easy project to undertake. Worth it in the end though.Quote:

I'd be curious to hear how the bow turns out. I've heard that Osage Orange wood makes good bows, and I know of a couple of very large, mature trees near my house. When I get home I may go check them out and see if there are any likely looking branches that need trimmed...
Bass pro for compounds, but I wouldn't go look at any traditional stuff there. Try going to Rocky Mountain Specialty Gear at on Sheridan at I-76. Best selection of all the Trad Gang gear. My 2 cents.Quote:

My new takedown Longbow Hybrid:
Riser: Lacewood with Osage.
Limbs: Birdseye Maple with Clear Glass. Osage Fadeout.
Might be able to get some photos tomorrow, still a bit of work to go yet before it's done.
Yeah everyone needs a bow... Now go buy mine in the classifieds... It says or best offer... Haha sorry couldn't resist ;-) I love bows.. Just don't need 3! Have another darton then I also have a nice black widow recurve! And lots of (ammo) for both :-)
I had a black widow recurve. I sold it to Bob's on Holly St back in '93, I wish I still had it.Quote:

Thanks for that, I haven't heard Bo Jackson in forever! At least he stayed cool after retiring, unlike some other athletes (*cough*OJ*cough*)...Quote:

Birdseye Maple in my limbs. Couldn't wait until today so I could see how they turned out. Beautiful. (not complete yet obviously)
