    Well my strings arrived on Saturday morning and today i had chance to string my Halo , apply furry balls , Nock and set Brace height at 6 and 3/4" . To be honest after nearly 6 -8 weeks of not shooting her i expected to shoot everywhere but the target , but instead it felt great . I'm shooting exactly the same as before , no loss of form and grinning from ear to ear . I love my longbow , i had to resort to shooting my X-Force for a while and to be honest every shot was quite predictable . Oh yeah and i have got rid of my virus from my PC , so expect to hear more from me :) .

    Thanks Russ , you are a star mate .

    You're lucky. I'd probably have to go through a lot of strength training to get back into shape.

    Dang mate don't go posting things like that. People will start to think I am a good guy or something:D

    I shot my bow yesterday the first time I have shot it in months, shot a total of 15, 4 arrow groups with the worst group about a 6" spread.

    Bob, that's not the case with Russ' bows. He infuses them with the very same mind of their owner. In my case, for example, I merely think about pulling her back and the bow simply assumes that position. These Kanga bows are perfect beautiful ladies. There's no fighting to get them to do what you want!

    Have you seen the muscles on Dave? I've tossed rotten peaches away which were more firm than those little puppies.....LOL

    Dave, I have that book by Jerermiah Johnson (Mark Thomas) "Where Aadventure Meets Discovery" sitting on my desk. Do you want to wait and pick it up here or shall I mail it to you? He gave me another copy to pass around. It's the perfect read for a day in a treestand. Russ, you get it first-read it, sign your name, and send it forward.

    i only managed a couple of pictures but fun day all the same . I'm open to criticism on my form :) ....again . The second picture shows how close i was to hitting the log at 17 yds ( i took a chunk of bark off it ) .The 3rd picture shows that the deer are still using the wallow , but i did not see them this time round .
