It's a good feeling to tap back into a forgotten skill set. I wish I had the time to shoot everyday.Sigh...so it looked like some of my DJT stimulus check was going to be headed to Lancaster Archery. A week later, a dozen new ACCs showed up, which the bow seemed to like a lot better. Bare shaft landing right into the group. I think I will use this setup for a while. No sense going back up. Shoulder and neck injuries have made me "sadder but wiser." This is fun. It sure is surprising how much I have to re-learn...and how much I simply never knew. Trying to limit myself to 40-60 arrows a day at this point. But that is hard to do when the weather is nice.
I shot a couple of morning back when this pandemic started. It was nice to go out, in the morning when it was calm. Since, it has,been windy, just about everyday, cold, and turkey season. Hopefully now I get time to go back out.
I bought a Browning explorer 1 recurve yesterday. It was made in 1971 and looks brand new, beautiful Brazilian rosewood. Shot it today, I like it a lot. It may turn into my new hunting bow.
I would love to see a picture of that. I used to have an old Browning catalog from the 70s, and I remember the pictures of those recurve bows. They were the most beautiful thing I had ever seen, with the possible exception of the B78 rifle in the same catalog. I remember from looking at the picture I wanted one of those, and I wasn't even overly involved in archery yet. We were in N. Michigan at the time and I saw Bear recurves everywhere (we were on the other end of the AuSable river from Grayling - really in the middle of Fred Bear Country), but there was something about those Brownings. Simply a gorgeous bow. I had a fiberglass camp bow with KMart arrows and next to those, it looked like shxt.
That is an interesting looking rig. I've never seen a limb setup like that. Please enlighten.Popped a timing cable, got a new one from G String Bowstings (fast).
Hadn't done one for over a decade.
Took a little longer than it should have...........bifocals suck.
Back in one piece
Looking for arrows for my recurve bow. Been out of Archery for a long time and the place I ordered from is out of business. Yeah I know I can do a Google search, problem is the reviews are all over the place, 5 Stars to 1 Stars. As with most online reviews it's worthless. So looking for some input from trusted sources i.e. INGO.
Thanks
Were it me, I would take a trip to Ft. Wayne and visit 3 Rivers Archery Supply for anything to do with traditional bows.
