I always make my longer bows too weak and my shorter bows don’t make the 28” draw Also want to make a 13” riser for some old takedown limbs I have

We are surrounded by hundreds of miles of mtns, mesas, cliffs, valleys, creeks and rivers. Sometimes it does my heart good to climb up high and take a birds eye look at the surrounding forest.

We have some great areas near me. Everything is starting to leaf out and bloom. I also found some great fossils I've been IDing.

BTW, that 3/4 groove ax is really old. Just at a guess, 9000+ years. My thought when I saw the cliff picture was, "I'll bet you could throw a rock a mile from there..."
