Pictures of Recurve and first flemish string
The pictures are of my recurve and some arrows I fletched using EZ Wraps for my compound. The bow is leaned against a taxidermy piece I did for the IL Taxidermy Association Show this year. I took a second place ribbon with the entry. The bow is not part of the entry its just where I took the pic. I bought the bow back in early 2002 and have not hunted with it yet, but I have been practicing with it. I was becoming a fair shot with it at first but have not had the time available to practice with it a lot until just recently. I will probably stick with the compound this year until I become more proficient with the bow. I do pretty good until I get past 10yds. I would like to be proficient out to 20 before I hunt with it. The string is my first try at building a flemish string and I thought it turned out pretty good. I plan to shoot it some tomorrow and see how it shoots. Oh yeah, the buck is a pick up from a dead buck my father found about 10 yrs ago. Due to the surrounding circumstances and time of year we believe the deer was an unrecovered deer shot before archery season from the road. I don't have much use for poachers. The cape was from a big buck a friend of mine killed last year and chose to not have it mounted. I am not sure how the pictures will look. I am afraid they may be too big.

Nice looking arrows and string.
Man, you need to RESIZE that picture. It's HUGE!!!
As for the deer, I see in the NBA that afros are coming back in style.

RE: Pictures of Recurve and first flemish string
I was afraid the picture would be too big. I'll have to figure that out. I hadn't even noticed the way the turkey fan was centered. I couldn't have centered it better if I had tried.
Can anyone tell me how to change the size of the picture? I haven't had the Digital too long and that is just straight from it to the web page to here.
Hey, never mind I figured it out and sized the picture down. I just deleted the second picture though.

RE: Pictures of Recurve and first flemish string
Great job, Hobbes. Thanks. Yep, it takes a little dickerin' around with 'em to figure out just what size works best. Looks really good now that I can see it all at once.
Good work! <img src=icon_smile_approve.gif border=0 align=middle>

gerep,
yes, it is a checkmate falcon I bought last winter. It is my first recurve and I have been very happy with it so far. Although I don't have much to compare it to, I think it shoots and feels great.
