    I could photoshop Bowtech all over the Hoyt gear for you....but then I would be accused of being a photoshopper and a Blowtechie. That would doubly suck!

    I figured that someone would mention it! :busted:

    Actually, it is the biggest plastic bag I could find. That bag is stuff so full of smaller plastic bags it is ready to explode.....

    The purpose: trying to see if I can build another bag target using a replacement Morrell cover and stuffing it with the smaller plastic shopping bags.

    Ahhh man, some guys have all the luck.


    Finch, I see you painted your Ultra-Press. I have to get around to doing that...it's only been 6 months:busted: Oh btw, there is a way to remove limbs with that press, but it's a two step process...seems that's a major complaint with people and this press over on AT:confused:

    Mine is still a work in progress so no pics as of yet. There's almost nothing I don't have but it's all just on a table in the corner of my basement. It's a functional shop called Poorguy's Archery where Ben says bows get Robenized. LOL

    Psssst, Christine. No one ever uses their dining room, period. Not even for an spillover eating area during overcrowded family gatherings.

    Time to find a new locale for your archery workshop, before the Non-Neglected Dining Room Association (NNDRA for short) comes knocking at your door....

    Bols, good point. For the record, we call it the 'archery/gun room' until my mom is coming over. Then I have to clear off the table and stash all the various bits of weaponry and pretend like the room looks that way all the time. The table is a metal office table with four mismatched chairs. That's how much I use it as a dining room.

    Not yet. Good news is that my coach actually made and laminated a nice countertop for me that is 5'x8'. :d

    I'm out of materials right now, but should be able to pick up what I need to finish next week so I can finish the frame up. I hope to get the countertop in about 2 weeks to install. I've also gotta paint the walls down there too.........

    I'm hoping within the next 2 weeks I'll be pretty close to being done and can post pics.

    Here is a pic of the press I'm planning to add. :d Only other thing I need to complete the shop is a chrono.

    Is that a purchased bow press or did you make that?

    Hey Matt,

    I'm not sure what bows you plan on pressing but I seriously doubt it will press our (or others) bows that have extreme parallel limbs.

    I wasn't there guys (assuming you mean ATA). Wish I could have made it, but I didn't have an invite from a shop/manufacturer, plus starting my new role at work it would have been tough to take the time off this year.
