Don't tell us the camera dropped in the water.

Have a friend use a wide angle from close up front, and extend the hands holding that gar as far as can go toward the lens...

:D

ArwFlngr, I see you have tied the arrow line at the end of the shaft.

Several years ago I've seen a post where someone's arrow line, tied like yours there, tangled up in the rest or cables or something. Anyway, upon releasing, the line jerked the arrow right back at the shooter's face.

Please don't let it happen to you!

Here's a sketch of properly tied up fishing arrow, the simplest version. Of course there are more systems, maybe the most popular would be the one with the sliding ring that travels from the arrowhead till just above the fletching. But this one here with a sliding loop works great, keeping the arrow line in front of the arrow rest and downrange of all other possible entangling spots, it doesn't foul up the arrow flight, and most importantly, won't endanger you.

Happy fishing!

:D

This is one of the topics we covered in the National Bowhunting Education Foundation class a couple of weeks ago. Firmly tied lines can be a serious injury in the making!

The object of all these safety devices or the way Oldaro is showing is to keep the string up at the riser during the draw. Problem is that if it's tied at the nock end, that results in a loop hanging down during the shot that can hang up on the reel, arrow rest mount, or any other part of the bow that it can grab. That's when it comes to "the end of the rope" to use a blatent pun, and then the arrow recoils back at you with lethal potential!

Knowlege is a good thing. If you're not set up this way, we'd highly recommend you do so before you go fishing again!

We want you back here showing more pics!!! :D :D :D

The man who does my Photo work is having open heart surgery he had a heart attacks 2 week ago and has blockage.


He downloads them & resizes them at the same time.


Since I Am Suspended for Life from Posting on the" other site," I will have a lot more time to post here. Sad part is I no longer Have any access to my 7000 saved PM and email address and phone Number of fellow Bowhunters.

They also took down my Banner ad that I paid for and that throw the whole matter over to the attorneys.



Also another site called and asked me to be a columnist along with Bill Winke & other top Bow hunters.


Also with Katrina I lost the gizmo that goes to my PC to unload PIX from memory Disc to PC



I took a huge beating ALL the work I paid for in La due to Katrina was not repaid by FEMA



FEMA is a Taliban Organization I think.

I took some Pix of my ridging a huge Long Horn Bull Yesterday and some pix of my personal trainer at the gym in my new car and will also post those too.

In Time.

I will tell you the whole story and show you prints out of "the events" at the BRS OK?


Thanks TINK
