Well --KINDA, anyway, here it is, I been walkin my woods ragged for years, looking for the PERFECT fork, havn't found the ONE yet, but here's the latest effort,, not a tree fork, cut it from some kind of bush, dried in Microwave-took bout 5 minutes, sometimes they really stink up the house, this one didn't, anyway, why is it a hybrid??, I got flatbands fom Gary, tapered gum rubber bands, Tex Shooter Pouch that I modified somewhat, and used Rufus Hussey type tie and band attachments, still gotta do some sanding,, shoots real good, after get all done will do some more band switching around, but anyway, this is the latest in the mix, shoots all kinds of , and sizes of ammo real fine, no C4 stuff yet tho, fraid of fork hits, :ph34r:

I searched for a few years myself and I thought I found the perfect fork. It was a perfect Y and beautiful. I worked my rear off to make it look just as good. When I shot it, it shot just awful, I could not hit a thing with it. I thought it just was a quirk with and one of my buddies wanted it so we made a trade. A little latter he told me that he could not hit a thing with it either. Both Blue Skeen and Ivan Glen told me later, that you should never judge a fork until you shoot it because some ugly ones shoot the best. -- Tex-Shooter

Yeah- Bill, I live in a woods, all kinds of trees, and brush, but I just won't cut nothing unless it looks just right, and usually when I start cleanin it up or cutting on it, I find some flaw or what, and just toss it, but this one sure shoots good, Think I'm going to make a switch to some theraband golds, or whatever i got laying around till I get it the way I think it should be, but then, how am i gonna have enough time to shoot everthing, AARRrrgghhh :ph34r:

Lord if I waited till I found a perfect fork I'ld never make one. Guess I'm not the only one making Husseys style forks. Great work.
