Season prep

#1 Post by stumper »

Finally got around to staining new shafts and building new strings. Mono gree for camo bow and mono red for slick stick. Both are back laid as taught by the great graps himself. Just need to build one more for the recurve at some point.

Now that sure beats waiting until the last minute. Looking Good.

Indeed. Also got out the leather that white Falcon sent me for the Christmas Exchange a while back and cut out a new leather rest for my recurve. That's the extent of my leather crafting.
