Spitfire!--one fine bow.
Measure length of bow, nock to nock, best done with a tape measure, follow the curves, etc.

Subtract 4 inches for competition string, that is the string length, a T-square will tell, if too long, twist the string, to get the proper height.--

Lawd, Weddings--:)--Am reminded of some of Grand parents descriptions, most lasted a week, three days at minimum----Great Uncle danced the soles off his boots.---:)

Rather well in 'Bama, April (Tornado Season) went by without incident,(Extremely Strange) last year, on the 27th--decimated many square miles around me--

Well, Good Morning Dave--

Yes, trees--had to get SIL over to take down a Maple--BTW--extremly good wood--for making things-:), and fireplace---

I know by now , you have mastered the Nikon--;):)---attached is the Maple, in the process of being taken down, but the Bluebirds love the branches---

You could carve some clogs with that maple wood! :D

Re: AX'S CORNER
 

Dave,

Look in manual, find, camera mode--can change the light the camera, sees--

Same pic, different modes--

Re: AX'S CORNER
 

Ax: AMO length is marked on bow 69" so I ordered a couple of 65" strings, should put the brace height at 7" which is what I found when I researched what the proper brace height should be. Now it only measures 6 1/4" and string looked well used and stretched so needed a new one anyhow. Even with the non-flemish strings you can twist them to shorten.

I believe the bow maker Harold Groves still holds the world record for the longest arrow shot, made with one of his Spitfire bows. Mine is a nice little 35# target version. Shot one of the better groups I have gotten in awhile with it the other night and that with a slightly long string.

Has a simple sliding one pin sight slides for elevation and has white background to mark yardages, screw adjusts for elevation. Tried the sight for a bit then the origional stick on hoyt pro rest plastic arrow support broke was probably 15 plus years old or more and brittle. Replaced it with a stick on flipper rest I had which changed impact point, since then it shoots left so may go back to a hoyt style rest when I get the new string.


Waiting for the string to make that decision and finish final tuning. Ironically I shot the tightest group barebow without using the sight, all six arrows in the yellow, three in the inner-most or X ring. Guess I an getting the hang of instinctive shooting.

Did notice shooting the 3D or even field targets at unmarked or uneven yardages the guys shooting the multi-pin compounds with all of the gizmos have trouble. They are used to know exact yardages pre-set pins and not having to estimate anything. For them a 43 yard shaot instead of an even 40 can throw them off, almost like some have never had to hold over or under a bit, like one would do with an open sight or even scoped rifle sighted at 100 when shooting a deer at 75 or 200, even 300 yards.

Re: AX'S CORNER
 

Jeff,
Look up Turkish Flight Arrows---distance.
A trick--puts strain on the lower limb, but shoots like a rifle, only use in a pinch--:
Knock an arrow, place all fingers-- below---the nocked arrow, aim and shoot---:)

Re: AX'S CORNER
 

Instinctive Shooting---

Mr.Hill was sitting on the front porch, bow in lap, arrow nocked--focused across the ----rural road.

All of a sudden the bow came up, only a few degrees of his lap, and the arrow flew.

"That was my last arrow, would you mind going over there and getting it for me"

The arrow impaled a Ground Squirrel which was eating up the garden--

Don't know of anyone hence, with such acuteness--

Re: AX'S CORNER
 

The movie---"Tembo" :

In the Olden Days--chuckle--The stars always went with the movie--in person.
"Tembo" came to town---Hard Earned Cash got you in the theatre--20 cents, I was there at age 7 or 8---
Before the movie--there was always a live performance--on stage.

Mr. Hill shot dinner plates thrown in the air, then saucers, shot a cigarette out of one's mouth,an apple and thence a prune off of the stagehands head.

Then the Silver Screen appeared (Projecters turned on)--"Tembo"--Rogue Elephant --taken down by a Bow.

Re: AX'S CORNER
 

Jeff--the split arrow shot--Mr. Hill said that it was impossible to do that shot off the cuff, what had to be done was an attached wire to the arrow already in the target, shot was made and 2nd one traveled down the wire.:)

Re: AX'S CORNER
 

Der Himmel über Berlin?

Now where was I today? :)

Re: AX'S CORNER
 

Yeah Ax contrary to what the movies want us to believe the odds of a true Robin Hood shot are about the same as winning the lottery or being struck by lightning maybe even less than the lightning as I can increase those odds by standing under a lone tree in a open area, holding a metal pole atop a high hill etc.:D

It is pretty amazing waht a good instinctive shooter with lots of practice/experience can do. Mr. Hill, Ben Pearson and even some modern exibition shooters come to mind. There is a Methodist minister that does trick shooting with a bow that is pretty amazing shoots aspirin out of the air. I have also seen a few of the old Herb Parsons shooting videos good stuff.

My Grandfathers on both sides were crack shots with a rifle and both could take out a running rabbit without even thinking about it. The one used to shoot dimes out of the air with a .22.

Hey Ax ole buddy! How ya been lately? Guess what I've been up to? I got an itch for a couple of Black Powder Revolvers. I was all set to order a couple of 1858's, but then I saw an old Mosin Nagant rifle. The rifle is in good shape and I can get it for a song. have you ever shot one? A buddy told me that he would compare it to a 308.

I still want my pistils though!

Should be outstanding in June there, watched the video you posted and this was in it--Serenity, with anticipation came to mind---:)

Re: AX'S CORNER
 

Nothing like a "Brace" of '58's--

The 7.62x54R is a dead heat to the 30-'06,and just ahead of the .308.

Tie Breaker--There is much, much surplus (cheap) available, 30-'06 milsurp depleted, hard to find.I bring up surplus because it is cheap,high quality ( Look for bxn headstamp)--Czech manufacture , superb--, however any and all I have fired is good.---also hunting rounds , due to popularity is being loaded by more than one manufacturer now, readily available.---Capsule shoot milsurp for fun and sighting in, save hunting ammo for hunting.

Re: AX'S CORNER
 

Getting down to origional question--yes.

The rifle you are looking to buy?--Russian has round receivers, Finnish has Octagonal receiver, (They are superb), either of which, in good condition, can't sniff at differences (1mm) All of the Nagants, to date--one of the most accurate, bulletproof (serviceability) designs --

Keep your eye peeled for one of the attached,and the 'Carbine (recently banned from import)--premium prices--

Re: AX'S CORNER
 

Ax: How are damaters? I have been busy trying to catch up on mowing and yard work. John Deere was down for a few days, no spark, looked up parts diagrams online and traced wires back to a module under the hood ECU or Electronic Control Module. Googled it and discovered it is also called the ignition module and was recalled due to high failure rate.


Called local John Deere dealer service department, they told me how to prove that the module is the problem and if bad to bring the bad one in with tractor hours and they would replace it for free. So after I got the new module had her back up and running in about five minutes.


Been fine tuning the Groves and found the sweet spot for brace height where she has very little noise and almost no vibration. Shoots real smooth when the operator does his part. A keeper even if it isnt any faster than a comprable bow as it is so smooth and forgiving. Will have to chronograph it at the range sometime just out of curiosity.

"Chrome Yellow" is the key, to Sunflowers- Van Gogh was introduced to same-and evidently may of his paintings indicate 'mixtures"---

It is a Coca-Cola syrup bottle from 1967,
It is in the original box with cardboard divider although the other three jugs are missing.
It has the original label on the jug and is perfect, with the exception of a small tear in the bottom of the label.
Whatcha say I gave for it? (I hope I didn't give too much)
