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 …

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 …

Glued Nocks on the Wooden Arrows

My sealant finally cured hard enough to move on to next steps with my wooden arrows build. Last night I carefully examined each arrow’s end grain so that I could orient my arrow nock grooves and string perpendicular to the grain, with the runners facing up. I made a small reference dot at the end …

A New Set of Woodies

I’ve been shooting a lot of GT traditional carbon arrows out of the longbow lately – which doesn’t seem so “trad.” Since I just bought a 50 year old vintage recurve, I thought I’d build a new set of woodies. This morning I put the second coat of Sikkens Cetol on these 55/60 tapered port …

“I think that string you sent takes vibration out a bit better and less handshock at the shot... That is a damn good string.. One of the best i've shot on a ASL...”

“Hope to do business with you again. I would rate you and your company a plus, plus, plus !!!”

“I got the string it looks great thanks!”“Doesn't get any better than a OE Taipan w/ Saucon custom strings at sub 22 yards!”

“Couldn’t be more pleased with the bow…..truly excellent just like you said. Packing was extremely good, and it arrived safe and sound. All the items you promised were in the box, the bow is as new. The craftsmanship is great and your company wonderful to deal with.”
