General discussions. Politics, scuttlebutt, whatever: you're getting married, changing jobs, got a gripe or a compliment, dying to get out with the bow etc.....

Cajin Bow

#1 Post by piggy » Tue May 31, 2011 8:20 pm

Took my new longbow out for her first walk, plenty of deer sign about again which surprised me as this spot was hit pretty hard during the fires.
The arrow is made from some cedar shafts I was given by client of mine who is an old time bow hunter so I dressed it up a bit and used one of his old broadheads and the feathers are from my Turkey I took in the US, would be awesome to take some game with this set up.

Great photo mate. Yeah, that sure would be special to take game with that set-up; I hope you do just that. :D Is that an old Bear head?

I agree, good photo and nice gear!
