Do you build long bows ??

I use to shoot traditional bows ( recurves ) but had to give it up because of a bad case of target Panic . Fought it for 20 years , just was not fun anymore . My last bow was a Wes Wallace recurve . I made my own bow quivers .

One of my favorite photos , My son Cody on Thunder Mountain at sunset .

Mostly it's all about hunting whitetails and turkeys though. Time on the range bores me to tears, I see it as a means to an end. I admire you guys that see it as a pastime in itself.

Fantastic Art, I still have my early `70's 47# Redwing Hunter - and somewhere out in the garage are about a half dozen of those old HEAVY fiberglass arrows - kinda like baby fence posts. :lol:

Thanks for the reply ,,Semisane. That Red Wing Hunter came from the deep south, either Florida or Texas, if I remember right. I live only 41 miles from the old Fred Bear plant in Grayling, MI and pass it every time I drive to my cabin. Istill imagine him stalking deer near the Jackpine & cedar swamps only 4 or 5 miles from that old factory. He hunted all over the world but his ghost will walk those fields and forests for at least the rest of MY life. I shooda bought one of them Bear bows, but I liked the Red Wing hunter better at the time. At least those old Micfolflite fibreglas arrows wore a BEAR razorhead!!!!!.
Keep yer powder dry & yer broadheads sharp,eh???
Best wishes.

My first bow was also a Redwing Hunter also back in around 1972-74 .
It was way tooo short for my draw length , i am 6 , 6''. I still love the look of traditional bows . I also had a bow built for me by the late Jim Brackenbury , who Wes Wallace worked for until Jim drowned in a white water accident . If not for the lousy target panic i would be still hunting with traditional bows . But i am enjoying muzzle-loaders .

Thank you very much !!

The rainbow photo will be hard to ever duplicate . There was a double rainbow near my home but i could not find a interesting subject to put in the foreground so i drove 20 miles west of Cache Valley Utah to the old house that i have photographed before , When i got there the rainbow was also there was dead center in the middle . I have sold the rainbow photo and the photo below of the old house to a gallery in S. California . This photo was taken with a polarizing filter at sunset . NO PHOTOSHOP Post processing , just a little sharpness added.

This was taken minutes latter from the inside of the old house facing out the door . I have all these printed in 16x24 or 20x30 on Canvas on the walls in our home. I started doing photography again after i moved to N.Utah 3 years ago .. I had stopped for over 25 years .

The bad thing about large prints is the cost of frames . :shock: $$$$$$
This frame has over 12' of wood at $9.00 a foot , the the glass was 80.00 and matting 40.00 . The print was the cheap part. Way cheaper to have a photo printed on canvas .
