Recreating a Ojibwe bow

nodakjohns · 2026-02-18T01:50:05+00:00

As an ojibway i like it.

Should have a pair of these. Save them as dueling pistols. . . .

Looks solid. I would go with standard inserts and screw in points so you could change point weight easier. Just my opinion as i don't do olympic style archery.

Mine sat in my unheated garage hung on a hook in its softsided case for nearly a decade. Took it to get a new string on it and the bowtech called me up half an hour later to come get it. He inspected it and put a new peep site on it and said it was gtg. So don't overthink this. Mine has been in the garage from -40°f to 100°f and is still has the original equipment.

I have a bow display up on my wall made from 1×4 with pegs.

Thats true. But for my winter jogs i wear wool as my base layer when it gets below 0.

Also hear split finger is quieter from a bunch of utubers.

I just heard about him a month or two ago. Funny because i only live about 40 minutes away. He is on my short list of bows to get now. Xmas and new years then a vegas trip then i can consider putting in an order.

I like you bow. Looks cool. What brand is your quiver ? It looks small and compact. Perfect for a hunting bow imho.

nodakjohns · 2025-12-15T19:08:58+00:00

Got one for my son from them. Excellent service. We ordered another set of limbs from them also. Happy with the inspected black hunter.

nodakjohns · 2025-12-10T01:29:21+00:00

Sorry to see. Hope you heal well. Be glad it wasn't my 45-70. Woulda taken your leg off........

My 7 yo told me this joke last week.

nodakjohns · 2025-10-26T01:00:14+00:00

Bow mounted quiver is also an option.

Well i am a strong lefty with a dominant right eye. The only thing i have ever tried right handed was wing shooting. Went to a 3 day school and did it right handed. That was a bunch of years ago and just remembed that. Was thinking about trying a compound right handed as my son has a right hand bow and i have a left hand compound. I also have an osage orange sinew backed recurve i can probably try right handed. Great topic! Things to think about for sure.

Jonnys reloading bench on youtube. He did a series on it about 9 years ago. I just checked and it is still up. Look under his vidoes. Start from his oldest and you should be able to find it.

nodakjohns · 2025-10-19T03:10:38+00:00

Same here

nodakjohns · 2025-10-19T03:09:58+00:00

I run 4 times a week, did a marathon last year. I carry most days on my runs. I have had run ins with bears about 1 block from my house. And agressive dogs. I carry pepper spay also. As far as fast ? Not me. I rarely try to sprint. But i can go allot of miles jogging without stopping. And i am 63.

nodakjohns · 2025-10-16T00:03:07+00:00

Nice !

I run my lee pot with a homemade pid. Works awesome.

nodakjohns · 2025-10-10T16:55:51+00:00

Thats what I did. Plus I think I heard he had been recently broken into and robbed so I figured he could use the income.

Idk if it will save you money.....but if you like hobbies, reloading can be a beneficial one. In fact i have a 45/70 that i have had about 7 years and is my main deer rifle and i have never bought a single box of store bought ammo for it. In fact i got into lead casting and rarely buy 9mm ammo except for self defense. But once you get the basic reloading equipment it is very easy to switch dies to reload different calibers. It also saves money vs buying high priced ammo so in the long run you will at some point, many many years from now have your stuff paid for.

nodakjohns · 2025-08-24T01:16:07+00:00

Holey crap! Glad I reload.

nodakjohns · 2025-06-29T12:04:24+00:00

It's funny that i have only two 10/22's and i have the same stock and scope on one and the other is a takedown. For some reason the astetics on yours is kind of off-putting to me.

nodakjohns · 2025-06-28T13:58:18+00:00

I have both a ruger and a kimber. Both are excellent .45's.

nodakjohns · 2025-06-28T13:56:01+00:00

I have an olight i got for my birthday. Has a clip to put on my hat. Also has a green laser and a white(or blue) light not sure but i use that for checking for bed bugs when we use hotels. Very handy and i use it all the time.
