RE: Selfbows
I think so--do you go by "snailskin"?
May will be two years for my selfbow. Before that, I'd tried several but every one of them either hinged or broke--I didn't have a lot of faith in them. Then a friend made one long enough for me (72"), and out of osage, and I really like it. My longbow is still my #1 bow, but I hope to add another selfbow or two to the rack.
The addictive part is what worries me most--I already have too many hobbies and not nearly enough time to devote to them! Recently added another to the list--a mule named Lucy. Rode several hours yesterday.....today my butt is reminding me why you don't just take off for a few hours after being out of the saddle for a dozen years! Think I know how Ben Pearson felt after his javalina hunt on "The Legendary Hunts of Ben Pearson" video......[:@]
