Wink Why oh why did I give him a hammer......
Those who know me may already be able to guess who I'm nominating for the glorious title of Fonz.....

Today was the day Miles and I had dedicated to building the flight bow for next week. We'd constructed most of the basic system and had moved onto stringing it for the first time when a limbcracked - annoying but not unexpected. So we reset to put the other limbs on.....

Miles with charactistic tact, charm and patience engaged the services of a local hammer to remove the limb bolt; and snapped the 2"x4" riser clean in half....



Yet another Fonz-worthy event for our local Milky Bar Kid

I lost interest unscrewing the first one and decided a moderate shifter would do the job quicker and with less hastle. Which it did - ultimately the bolt came out and the job was completed.

Remarkably I only swore once too...

It wasn't a good day.
