It’s January and has been in the 50’s (F) breaking warm weather records here in Utah this year. Very unusual to be out shooting my bow in just a long sleeved shirt this time of year.

It was very cold out today! MaruBeth hates cold weather ... She hasn't shot in a fews weeks. So I told her she can't go in till she hits the target 3 times. She takes the Black Hunter bow does a few not so good shots from 1o yards. (I'm thinking she's gonna be out here at least a half hour.) She the grabs 3 arrows and quickly fires them right into the target like she's been shooting every day for a year. She the quickly puts the bow down gives me a two thumbs up and quickly dashes into the house to get warm as me and one of her sons look in amazement! 😆😁🙃

Happy Sunday folks! I am in process of setting up a new bow string. It’s a D-97 14 strand for my new bow! I’m very minimalist as a lot of folks know on that level. I prefer classic wool string silencers. Low fuss setup and maintenance. My daughter makes them for me. It’s kind of a bit of a mojo thing with all my bows. She’s made all my silencers for me since she was young. 🤞 I prefer a lower end less is more approach to to wool silencers - I Tend to go on the lighter side and the smaller side in most cases, and don’t like adding a lot of weight onto a string- especially a fast flight. 🎯 I also will tune 2 different strings both a B55 or a B50 as well as a D97 type of fast flight just to see for tunability in regards to noise and vibration tension. 🎵 If I have a D97 that might be three or four seconds faster I will choose the B50 or B55 string material if it’s quieter and is better off for bow VS speed - which is not what the traditional game is about and I would rather have a quieter bow than a noisy bow that's a little tiny bit faster. 🏹 I do like using brush buttons, simply for not only some of the string slap you can get with a recurve, but also in regards to catching brush since we do an awful lot of stalking and still hunting here in Ontario, what do you prefer to use for string silencers or do you use any at all?

Although I have about 20 bows I mostly shoot my Buck Trail Wolverine and occasionally my Oak Ridge Mezzo 50 ... I decided to shoot my one of my Black Hunter bows to just switch it up a bit. Hope everyone is doing great & God bless you!

I Got the best news today from my Doctor. I had to miss all of deer season because of cancer. They operated on me and I have been on a strict schedule of doing nothing. Today my Doctor informed me that I am cancer free. And can start shooting my bow again. God is Great!!!
