HERE'S A LOOK AT WHAT IT TAKES TO BUILD A GOOD SHOOTING BOW AND SOME OF THE FUN THAT OUR PRIMITIVE ARCHERY AND BOWYERS CLUB MEMBERS HAVE IN THE PROCESS. I HAVE MANY MORE PICS TO SHOW OF THIS INTEREST, AND WILL START ROTATING THEM AS SOON AS I COMPLETE THE REST OF THE PIC PAGES.
 
 
FIRST OFF, LET ME 
INTRODUCE YOU TO,FROM LEFT TO RIGHT, TONY, JERRY,JP,RON,AND BEARPAW OUT FRONT.SOME OF THE I.V.P.A.B.C. MEMBERS.
OF COURSE, I'M THE GUY BEHIND THE CAMERA.

 
 
I KNOW WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE , BUT HERE, TONY GETS INSTRUCTIONS FROM SONS TONY JR. AND JOHN, ON HOW TO REMOVE BARK FROM A STAVE THESE TWO BOYS HAVE BOTH BUILT AND ARE SHOOTING THEIR OWN BOWS!

 
 
HERES WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE AFTER THE BARK IS OFF, AND A CENTER LINE IS ESTABLISHED. THIS IS WHEN THE REAL WORK BEGINS, ALL THAT WOOD HAS TO COME OFF.

 
 
AND THERE'S THE TOOL THAT'LL MAKE SHORT WORK OF IT! NOW WE'LL WORK ON THE BELLY, TAPER IT , AND GET TO TILLERING IT.

 
 
WELL HERE WE ARE, IT'S ALMOST TILLERED. I CAN'T WAIT TO SHOOT IT.I BET IT'S GOING TO BE A SHOOTER!

 
 
WELL THERE YOU ARE, A 25 YRD. GROUP TO HANG YOUR BOW ON. WHO SAID A STICK WON'T SHOOT!
