A Very Interesting Read.......
......or at least it was to me. Someone found this and sent me the link. I've been talking to Dorthy for 10 years or better, and she never once filled me in. I'd heard she was quite the archer back in her day, but I've never been able to pry any info. from her.
For those who don't know, Dorthy is the co-owner and co-founder of Chek-Mate Archery.

RE: A Very Interesting Read.......
Quite the accomplishments. Thanks for sharing.
BWIW, I put the selfbow down for the late season. Took the King's Pawn out with some Douglas Fir arrows sice I was pretty much driving tacks with it. Yesterday was the last day and I had a few does within 40 but elected not to shoot. Since I was not able to shoot at anything at the last bit of light I decided to take a shot at a piece of grass sticking out of the snow at 20 yards. Took the shot and seen the arrow sale past the grass. I was a little stumped. After climbing down I went to pick up the arrow and noticed it was broken. [&:]Went back to the piece of grass and noticed it wasn't grass at all but a small shrub that the deer had grazed down to pretty much nothing. In the middle of the shrub was the other potion of my arrow.
