The Travels Of The Bow Sacagawea

[Chunky]

Hey little john, gald you made it over here with the good guys.

John is a new friend of mine. He is already a good hunter and archer, but wanting to join the fun side....so I loaned him a light weight recurve to get a taste last week. He showed good skill for a first time, and it won't be long before he has skill up for hunting.

We have a list going with 20 names on it now, when that is exhausted, we will start another list, and you willl be welcome to get on that list.

Once again, congrats.

What is the status? Does Bob still have her, or is she back to work?

[Loreva13]

She is on her way back to me. She was shipped Wednesday, I believe. so she should be here any day now. I will let you now as soon as she arrives.

[Loreva13]

Saca just got here! Will be shooting her this evening!

I took Sacagawea to my first 3D shoot as a traditional archer this morning! Actually my first 3D in over 15 years. What a blast!!! Some tough shots but a absolute good time with my grandfather and father. I feel even more hooked to traditional when I already thought I was as hooked as can be!

I will do a write-up and my bio on Monday or Tuesday!!! Time for some rest.

I had planned to participate in my first 3D shoot as a traditional archer this past Sunday. I had been debating on whether to take my Sarrels or Black Widow recurves but when Sacagawea arrived Saturday afternoon I knew I had take her to make her visit with me special.

Saturday evening I took some 500 spine Beman bowhunters I had laying around and bareshaft tuned then as best I could being that they were already cut with inserts installed. For that reason, I could not get a perfectly tuned arrow but I was able to tune the arrows senough by playing with different point weights to get good flight and hit in the vicinity of where I was looking.

I must add, Sacagawea is one sweet shooting bow!

Being it was my first 3D shoot since I was about 8 or 9 I expected to miss a lot, lose plenty of arrows, and/or break plenty of arrows since it is very rocky over there. I ended up only losing one arrow and breaking one arrow. I scored 126 in one round of 30 targets. We had to shoot across arroyos, down into arroyos, and into some thorny brush. It was an absolute blast and great time! A challenging but fun course. Overall, I had a really great time and it was a pleasure to have Sacagawea accompany me on my first 3d shoot. I definitely look forward to more 3d shoots and again I must say Sacagawea is a shooter! Great craftsmanship and a great bow! Bob you're the man!

Here are a few pic: (I am not one for photography and I feel I could have taken better and more pics but I was just having to much fun. Enjoy)

Wow! I can see how misses would be hard on arrows in that terrain!

Looks like you had a great time!
