My Bow and Arrow

For about two or three years I have wanted to make a bow but was not sure that I could. I didn’t know how to do it or what was needed. A couple of months ago, after some research on the Internet and reading a few books from the library on the subject I decided to try making one. I made the bow out of a hickory board, being a good, durable wood for the task and something I could buy locally. This is the finished product along with an arrow I made. It pulls 50# @ 29″, is 66″ nock to nock and has about 2 1/2″ of set. I twisted a string from dracon B-50 (bow string material) and stitched a piece of leather around the handle.

There are a couple more photos here.

Thanks-Giving

I can give thanks because…

The Buckeyes beat the little animals! there is always something to give thanks about and today one of them is the Ohio State Buckeyes win. The Buckeyes might have scored even more had there not been bad snaps and roughing the center (give me a break he’s the center and meant to be hit and you can’t wait around till he lifts his head).

But the Buckeyes did win and there is no doubt that they beat the little animals. And for that I can praise the Lord with my thanksgiving. But there still is the National Championship left and that calls for prayer…

My poor bro Taylor - He recklessly jumped head first into The Leaf Pile (yes “The Leaf Pile” is a place and therefore a proper noun).

Up In The Air

How often do you get free rides to the tops of the trees? My brothers, sister and I got a free ride up towards the skies today at the courtesy of the “lumberjacks” that were cutting down some of our neighbor’s trees. Here are some pictures of the ride. More pictures here.
