When you are not fly fishing..... NFF

[Ron Eagle Elk]

Gigmaster,

Is that one of the bows you build? If so, well done. Do you ever use sinew to back your bows?

What do I do when not fishing?

Sleep
Work
Household chores
Church on Sundays
And...spend time with my wonderful 13 yr old daughter who drags me to kiddie/teen movies, talks my ear off, compells me to listen to new music (most of which grates my nerves!), steals my cool T-Shirts (and hats), stole my Jackson Coosa, and generaly makes my life worth living. I absolutely love her to death!

Other than that, I got no time left over for anything but fishing. Wish i did because like I've seen in the earlier posts, there is a whole lot of really cool stuff to do!

Thanks for sharing your passions. I've enjoyed them.

I made that bow from a hickory stave, with a hickory handle block, and backed it with rattlesnake skin. Hickory doesn't really need any backing. That particular bow is aprox. 75 pounds draw weight.

I want to try to make an Assyrian Horse Bow from horn and sinew, but I haven't gotten around to it, yet.

I make rabbit sticks, atlatls and slings as well.
