Great, we should speak before things get going, so can you arrive 15 minutes early? We have at least 2 members that will need to read lips, so you'll have to pan from face to bench.

You guys will have a great time for sure and will learn a ton from Don. His x bow collection is worth the trip alone....

Crossbows? Does Don have any crossbows??? Bwahahahahahaha! His collection would put some archery shops to shame!
It was a great time and I really appreciated Don taking the time to pass along his knowledge. I have a few pics but have never posted any here so I need to figure out how to do that.......

Pictures are good, Video even better. How long will we have to wait?

Don off-loaded the video to his SD card as I have no experience uploading video. It's in his hands.

I'm using satellite internet which is no much better than dial-up. So if anyone wants to edit and put the video up on Utube, I'll load it on a SD card and send it.

Ok, wondering what you arrow smiths think of 4 & 5 inch fletch on hunting arrows. Going to use a 16 to 17 inch arrow.

Saturday was a very good day, made it through Toronto and back home again

, learned a bunch on making arrows, shot some Xbows I've never handled before, seen/handled some Xbows I've only seen online. Got home just after midnight all jacked from the drive, and keen to shoot some arrows. I had everything sitting at the door ready to go for the morning. Sunday up bright and early off to my buddies place after a few coffee's, installing Baby Bumpers and fine tuning the brace height on his new M350 LE, we where out shooting. The new arrows put together at Don's Saturday where hitting in the same hole @ 20 yards and grouping about 1 1/2 inch @ 50( kind of breezy) with my M380 Xtra and my friends M350 LE. My friend with his M350 LE was quite happy, his speed dial ended up at about 352'ish with a 400 grain arrow when we finished up. He just upgraded to the M350 LE from his 30 year old Wolverine.

Once again thanks Don for the invite and all the knowledge learned

. Hope to see everyone again at Boofest.
