Yesterday I met Bob over at Santa Fe Archery to do a little shooting and the question came up about Brace Height. I found that I had been measuring from a different point on the bow than Bob and Steve of SFA. So I decided to do a little more research on the subject and came across this.

It is a pretty good place to start for anyone just getting started. BTW after reading it, it appears many folks measure brace differently, but I’ll let y’all read and decide for yourselves what is best for you.

My mother in law was moving and sent me a present she found. 1969 Ben Pearson Bronco recurve…………..It needs a new coat on it but I’m gonna strip it and refinish……..:flex:

Looking at Darton bows but was told that the limb pockets have to be shimmed when they loosen up.Ok is this true,and also was told that the Darton techs wont back this problem.Is this a B.S. story or what?Was looking at the 3500 model,now not for sure.Maybe the Quest or the Mathews bows.Dont want to spend my money on a problem that might happen.Any advice would be great.Thanks.

Just posted a few photos of a 2009 Giant 14pt killed off the ground in Knox County. Has huge bases, split Brows, 23 1/2″ inside spread and is just a monster. No official score just yet, but a conservative green score of over 190″!!! Take a look in the 2009 Indiana Bucks and Does photos.

can you all post some pics of your bow stands. I would like to see some so I can try and build one this year.
Thanks

I was wondering if anyone has made a foam target and if they have where they got the foam from? I haven’t really looked but I shoot a monster so I’m looking for some high density foam

Administration Document Could Spell Trouble for Sportsmen
3/4/10

A leaked memo from the U.S. Department of the Interior reveals plans to set aside millions of acres of federal lands, currently open to a multitude of users, as new “National Monuments.” Basically, these designations could be established by a stroke of President Obama’s pen with no oversight.

The memo identifies approximately 13 million acres in nine western states for “National Monument” designation under the 1906 Antiquities Act. The Act allows the President to make these designations without Congressional approval or local input.

The U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance (USSA) is deeply concerned as prior Monument designations have caused trouble for hunters and wildlife conservation. For example, President Carter created millions of acres of National Park Service Monuments in Alaska which immediately closed the areas to sport hunting. It took a subsequent act of Congress to undo many of these hunting closures. President Clinton also created Monuments at the end of his term. Wilderness activists have since blocked wildlife management projects in these areas arguing that conservation efforts are inconsistent with Monument purposes.

Although a Monument designation does not automatically limit hunting or other uses, experience has shown that this designation can have a negative impact on access and conservation efforts. USSA holds that any change in public land use should only occur after open discussion with stakeholders allowing them to voice their concerns, if any.

“President Obama campaigned on keeping government decisions transparent to the public and we ask that he honor that pledge by not making a decision on Monument designations without first hearing the opinion of America’s sportsmen and other concerned citizens,” said Rob Sexton, USSA vice president for government affairs. “The USSA will be watching closely and respond immediately if sportsmen and others are kept in the dark.”

Not long ago my father bought a new bow, and we had a small problem. So I decided to call Joe and see what he could tell me. With no hesitation, he said ‘let me call Matt at C.P and we will get this all worked out’. Not five minutes later Joe called me back and said ‘box up the bow, and we will have a new bow in the mail A.S.A.P’. Never in my life have I ever been so impressed with the customer service that I received.
it was truly AWESOME! it is easy to see that Joe and Oneida really care about their customers. Not to mention, I sent my BE to Joe in December to be rebuilt and it cost more than I had expected. When I called and asked if I could pay in February he said that that would not be a problem and almost sounded surprised when I thought he might be upset. When I received my bow in late February I was absolutely amazed at the work Joe had done for me(you can see the pics in my profile). Also my cousin Matt was interested in purchasing his first bow but was on a tight budget. I called Joe and he set me up with a totally rebuilt and custom fitted Oneida Strike Eagle for a very good price. Upon arrival, both Matt and I were amazed at the condition of the bow. After all it is a 1991 but you would never know that by looking at it (you can also see this bow in my pics). In closing, if you are interested in Oneida bows, don’t hesitate to come visit Joe’s website at www.oneidebows.net and I’m sure he would be glad help you out.
