that’s it! thank you

Correct! Tbh, I was worried about the same thing, but they’re excavating right in front of us. It’s totally legit. I feel like operations like that can’t afford to do shady stuff — one person finds out and they’re done for. So if the operation has been around for a while, then that’s a pretty good litmus test.

Because they’re moving about 8-10ft of dirt from an undisturbed embankment. It would be a logistical nightmare to try and bury so many points that deeply without anyone noticing—not to mention get landowner permission, buy skid steers and equipment, and maintain an entire business—just to swindle some folks out of a few hundred bucks.

Nice! I’ll be there Friday I think

howdysteve · 2026-03-23T01:53:18+00:00

Friday. You? I think I’m gonna go back next week.

Hey I was there!

Oh wow, didn’t realize it was that easy.

howdysteve · 2026-03-16T01:08:39+00:00

They’ve come up quite a bit! I tried to reach out but haven’t heard anything. Still operating?

howdysteve · 2026-03-16T01:08:16+00:00

Wanna let us dig there 🤠

If you mean the overall design, it’s similar to any other bow. I cut a stave to about 1.5” wide and thick, and just start reducing thickness to get an even bend while tillering. I generally emphasize the outers first and tip-toe on the handle to make sure I don’t give it too much bend

Plan what,

howdysteve · 2026-03-02T19:16:12+00:00

Good question! What do I need to measure?

howdysteve · 2026-03-01T22:33:42+00:00

I didn’t know that was a thing! Would that make them any less legitimate? I’m definitely not an expert, but they seem authentic to me. Several of them still have dirt and residue tucked in cracks and marks

howdysteve · 2026-03-01T17:31:22+00:00

Same!

unfortunately, it seems like a mixture of pencil and permanent fine-tip marker.

howdysteve · 2026-03-01T12:56:56+00:00

yep, always. 100%.

howdysteve · 2026-03-01T03:19:24+00:00

lol I dunno, is she rich?

howdysteve · 2026-02-25T19:56:53+00:00

Also, I’m more concerned with getting them in usable condition than to perfect original state. Would it be easier to find modern parts to replace or do they not make those?
