That is what I call being "flexible"! "Adapt and survive"...Good job!
Congrats, I know plenty of hunters that would kill to get a "little buck" like that...[8D]

Thanks everyone. I have good news. I got out my lightest recurve 56# @ 28" and I could actually pull it with my two good fingers. I shot it several times last night and think with a little more practice, ill get it down. Cant say it felt very good on the bumb finger. I guess sometimes you just got to feel the pain.
Also, I just heard from a friend down south who wants me to come hunt with him. I took a P and Y on this land last year, so it looks like things might be back in play.

Ive got two new bows going right now. A Brazillian Walnut, white oak, and maple longbow and a Brazillian walnut, bamboo, and maple longbow going at this very moment. Just took bamboo ipe bow out of the oven and am in the process of tillering the white oak, ipe bow. So I guess ill have two new longbows in about a week.
