Subject Change!
Does anyone know anything about Colt Firearms Recurve Bows? I have a Brand New Colt Hunt Master Recure, that I bought probably about 10 years ago and it's been under our bed (glad it can't talk) I bought it off eCrud and can't find much info on the Colt Firearms Recurve's on the Internet? Some say they were made by Pearson? Some say by Lee? What year did Colt market Recurve's?
Wifey "re-found it" the other day while dusting. I put it in a hard case 10 years ago and just thought it was a perfect addition to my Colt Collection?
I know you guys and gals are pretty knowledgeable about a allot of different stuff? Figured there are some Recurve People amongst us?

Can't help you with Colt Recurves.
I have 2 recurves one a Damon Howett Hunter 50#, and another a Wing Swift Wing 35#.
Maybe taking the Wing out and some light practicing is in my future. The Jowett is a long ways in the future until time on the Wing! Amazing how 15# makes such a difference!
Guess it is like 15 years makes such a difference, or 15#, or some days 15 steps?

This was the gun from the show, that he gave Brezhnev in President Nixon's backyard.

If I were the hyper-sensitive type, I'd say my husband play's music to drown out my yapping when I sit behind him. He certainly wanted nothing to do with installing helmet mounted intercoms.

The Wing Company
I've been collecting S&W's and Colts since 1976-77 and really never got into archery. I bought my son a Bear Recure in the mid 80's at a yard sale. And he loved the thing. He hunted and target shot with it, almost everyday for many years.When I bought it, it was too big for him. He was about 7-8 and kept till he was about 15! But he grew into it. And when wifey re-found the Colt Recurve he told me how much he loved his Bear Bow. And I remember having to buy and keep bales of hay for his target practice. I'll probably go ahead and give him the Colt! I'd just like to know some history on the Colt Recurve's.
The Wing company, is who I was thinking about when I said Lee? I think a Guy named Lee owned the Wing company? And they say the Wing Company made some of Colts Recurve's? And they say the Wing company made some great Recurve's!

Some information on colt recurves from various archery forums found on google. Being kinda beat up at the moment from weed hacking, so taking the easy way out, e.g. LAZY!
Gets a start for you?
" Most of the Colts were made by Wing, per Bob Lee, however there was a rumor that Ben Pearson also made a number of bows for Colt. There was a lot of that "decal swapping" going on, back then. Judging from the one's I've shot, if the bow is in good condition, you should be very happy with it. "
Usual caveats.

All the motorcycle discussion, videos, and pictures got me to thinking about the wind in my face, cool factor, etc. But no need for speed! 
So I found this, https://www.cruzincooler.com
Environmentally sound, electric, keeps drinks and assorted foods cool, and comes in small, medium, and large!
Perfect, though wonder if they go off road, or just parks, sidewalks, convention centers etc. ?

Thanks For The Info!
Thanks So Much For The Info! I "Think" I read many years ago the the Colt Recurve's were made from about 1958 till the late 1960's? Just seems like there would be more info out there? Since there are so many many Colt Collectors out there? Maybe just all the old turds, like myself are gone?
I guess a Milenial that don't care about guns, also didn't play with bows and arrows?
When my grandson was about 3-4, I bought him a bow and arrow set in Gatlinburg. And he thought it was funny as hell to run around and shoot me in the peanuts! Thats what he always called testicals! And if course wifey thought it was funny and rooted him on! Do it again, do it again! She wasn't the one wrenching in pain!

Funny you have to check out every bike they offered.
I put a add in the local bargain paper for Suzuki ts-185 bikes. A guy calls me up with a '80 Suzuki GS 750 L. It's a four cylinder low rider. For $150 when I got home I cleaned the carb bowls and she fires right up. So it's my first real street bike.

Amazing service for an inspirational lady. The casket has made by her sons. The mules were her pride and joy.

Confucius Says
Confucius say, a dollar saved is a waste of good paper.
Confucius say, time never stops even when I'm in the bathroom.
Confucius say, wifey gets on my nerves! He didn't really say that, but if he knew her, he would say that.

For the most part, I agree. But, when you're doing a long distance interstate drone, the constant hum of the motor & wind noise can cause noise fatigue, which is NOT a good thing. I always wore a set of headphones inside my helmet, or at least earplugs.
For all the Motorcycle riders in the drift!
This show, this song almost made me want to buy one!

The thing I liked most about the show were the"Bronson Rocks"!
He would wreck the bike pretty bad, & somehow, with just rocks he found by the side of the road, he would pound out the dents & somehow get paint back on the tank. Even did engine work with them too, if I remember correctly...
Motorcycles,,,,,Really?
No......not really...

I forgot hubby took snaps on that first re-acquaintance ride 30yrs after getting my MC license. Should have been a pilots license, cause I was on cloud 9.
Gathering for the bike blessing.
Police escort for the ride to the bike blessing messes up jurisdiction hand-off. Caused us to shut down the Long Island Expressway in one direction.

We lived in rural Gaithersburg MD. When I was about 11 or 12. Really rural, most likely totally built up now? I had a pond to fish, biggest bass caught was around 4#, and untold numbers of bluegill and crappie. I bought a glass recurve, maker forgotten, but not a name brand. Practiced during the summer, and that fall, rabbit and squirrel hunting. Used my first flu-flu arrows for squirrels in the tree. Got several and my only quail on the fly with an arrow. I think the quail ran into the arrow! 
Got several on the ground, and a couple of rabbits for the season. Last day of the season I attempted a shot on a rabbit sitting! Came to full draw, and as I was ready to release the upper limb shattered/exploded/? Luckily I wore glasses as I had several fiberglass shards in my cheeks. Really soured me for a few years. My thought now is I have a long draw, 33" now so maybe 30" then, and overstressed a cheaper bow? Maybe a manufacturering defect ?
Can't remember any adjustment from the store I bought it from, but was a number of years before I tried a bow again, then a name brand, Pearson I believe? Wanted a Bear but did not have the money. Almost got a Herters but was suspicious of buying through the mail?

Typhoon warning... Houston should get that any day now. Back in 1945 on the USS Yolo off the beaches of Okinawa.
June 4, 1945
The watch had me up early with the message to execute typhoon plan. The Navy publications supplied information on its details and to its application in this area. I even read "Knight's Modern Seamanship". By breakfast I had a real working knowledge of the situation. Information received during the morning indicated that the storm would pass to the east sometime tomorrow morning. Throughout the day gear was lashed down and articles stowed. Beginning at noon the torrential rain started and the wind increased. With my Alaska experiences I respect all storms. In any case Yolo is prepared to move on a moments notice.
At 0500 the marines landed on two small islands on the East Side. Ashore, in a pre-invasion warm-up, the bombardment vessels began an unending shelling of the area. It was one of the most intense bombardments we have heard in some days. For several hours the guns boomed until it was a constant rumble. The beach was lashed by almost 4500 shells. The bombardment paved the way for the landing of the 6th Marine Division on the Oroku Peninsula. Attacking through mud and rain, by the day's end they seized half of the Naha airfield. Later the Quay wall at the Naha harbor was cleared for the discharge of several LCMs and LCTs.
By radio we heard that Halsey's fleet is on the move again, this time to raid the fields of Kyushu. Bad weather impaired the effectiveness of the raids. Only 30 enemy were destroyed while our losses numbered 16. Enemy airborne interception was of high quality and exceptionally strong. While the Okinawa campaign draws to a close other areas are raided. At 1245 Ikeya Shima was secured. No enemy troops were encountered. Some 27 LSTs were involved.
At 1935 things changed dramatically. Word was received to get underway and proceed to a rendezvous point where Yolo is to take station in a convoy of 60 LSTs screened by Wadsworth (DD 516), Carlson (DE 9), Swearer (DE 186) and two sweeps. Five LST group commanders were called to the flagship and all LSTs were divided into three groups. Yolo was in the third group. The movement order was executed and Yolo was underway. Convoy position was found with a minimum of difficulty in spite of the dark and the groups were on their way for Nago Wan. To com¬plicate matters the word was passed to maintain flash red, and as the ships departed smoke was still bellowing from the large ships in the anchorage.
