ASL Rabbit

Rabbit hunting with the ASL

They don’t put much meat in the freezer, but rabbit is my favorite tasting wild game. It’s very rewarding to take a rabbit with a traditional bow. I like to carry a small game head arrow when I’m deer hunting just incase of an opportunity like this on the way in. Took this rabbit with …

Crockpot Venison Roast

Getting Ready for Turkey Season

Bear Kodiak Hunter

March is winding down and it is time to get serious about Spring Gobbler hunting. I recently acquired a vintage Bear Kodiak Hunter recurve and just finished building a set of wooden arrows to shoot from her. The Bow I was lucky enough to pick up this mid-70’s era Bear Kodiak Hunter recurve – a …

Modify Your Bow Quiver to a Side Quiver

bow quiver modified to side quiver

I was recently given the idea, from one of the archery forums, of how simple it might be to convert a strap-on bow quiver to a side quiver by using “a wood or metal piece to separate the hood and arrow holder by 18″ or so.” I was having some difficulty maintaining good groups with …

A Little More Tuning

I wasn’t settled with that bareshaft nock kicking high and right, so I did a little more tuning. I added one more complete twist to the bowstring and moved my silencers out a hair closer to the limb tips, and also went from 125gr points to 145 all to adjust for a stiff arrow reaction. …

Getting the Shakespeare Tuned to the Cedar Arrows

I’ve been working on tuning this bow to the new wooden arrows I built. I’ve brought my nocking point down a bit. Initially I let some twists out of the new string to get closer to the bow’s 7.5″ recommended brace height. Now that the string is shot in, and has settled from some initial …

New Wooden Arrows, New Flemish Twist String, 48 Year Old Shakspeare

Today I took some first shots with the new wooden arrows, off a new flemish twist string from the Yukon X-24. First three shots showed a respectable high group at 15 yards. At 18 yards, I can see right away – by the low bareshafts kicking their nocks high – that I need to adjust …

Cresting, Fletching and Nock Tapers

Last night I started cresting the new arrow shafts. My cresting is more for an indication of brace height than for design aesthetics. The forward mark is at 7.5″ from nock throat to show recommended brace height for this bow to the pivot point, or deepest part of the grip. The rearward mark is where …
