Sorry Boo, but I was bored
Raining here today and I needed something to occupy my mind & hands, so I decided to make a bow string. I made a 3-bundle flemish string for the Phoenix and them had the bright idea to make a short video to see if I could pick up the noise of the Phoenix when shot.
The rain is beating down on the metal roof of my shop, but you can hear the results of a dacron string with catwhisker silencers on the Phoenix. The loud thump of the arrow hitting the target is the most noticeable sound! BTW-the Phoenix I'm shooting has had the DBs removed, so the noise you hear would be even less with DBs on the bow.
For those that might ask - NO, I'm not in the stringmaking business!
But Boo can make a dacron string and I'll problably have him make one for me before season gets here. I like the noise reduction with the dacron.

Gotta love Excalibur for accuracy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I put everything in random order too. That way, everything is always where it belongs.
That was a quiet shot . . .and deadly too. Looked like a 64 yarder.

I'd rather wear out than rust out.

Actually, there is a place for everything. The problem is all that stuff with no place assigned that's piled between the other places. If I throw anything away I'll need it the next day, and if I leave it in the pile I'll never need it again.Grizzly Adam wrote:Ah, yes, Wabi. A place for everything, and everything in it's place!
