I finally got my lazy *** motivated and did some much needed archery related projects this weekend.
First, I updated my old DIY press. I built this press many years ago and, due to the design, I can't press the newer beyond parallel limb or pre-loaded limb bows. Other than that,it has a been a great press.
I ordered some press fingers from 92 safari over at Archery Talk. These normally go on his Monster Pac-Press but he sells them to DIYers for their projects. They only required a new set of press arms with 1/2" holes and anew pull point.
And viola! I can now press any bow on the market; for less than $100 and my time, and some Shiner...
I also received my target skins from Third Hand Archery yesterday; so we began construction on the new target butt and stand. This is a 48" x 48" target butt; it will be mounted on a swivel so I can easily rotate the target to shoot both sides. This will be filled with about 200 lbs of linen, like a bag target, but huge.
Gage has a friend over this weekend and they dug the holes for the 4 x4 posts and helped frame and attach the target skins.
I had to learn 'em on the rock bar, but they got the hang of it.
Here are the 4 x4 posts that will hang the actual target frame.
Here we are framing out the target and the attaching the skins. This thing is huge!
