Nice, sounded like you missed a few times but must have been my ears. Looks like you get on well with it.
Yeah the Hill bow was my shooter for 6 plus years and it was great like I said it was the length that was the only downside to it. Will bring it next time for Stu to fall in love with it also . It's 55lb at 28in, 5 layers of bamboo with clear fiberglass on top.
Thanks Ozzy.

Guys
I just posted a leather restoration question in the DIY Craft forum, but am interested in your opinions. I know that a few of you do leatherwork. I posted this:
"I picked up a surplus leather ammo pack that's worn on a belt that was in very dry and awful condition. After a few days of applying neetsfoot oil, it's now supple and dark brown. My sense is that it's found its life again.
But now I'd like to waterproof and find a a shine, and faced with the following decision: Should I use shoe polish (which has wax and will buff out to a shine), Dubbin (which, in my experience is the magic stuff), or Renaissance Wax (which I've only used on metal, but know has application for everything.) I have all this stuff in the house, but can also wait for a delivery of pure fresh beeswax. I'm sure that all these are fine decisions, but a bit of insight from the leather folks would be helpful.
I'm leaning toward shoe polish because I can shine it up, and it should have decent weatherproofing properties.
Any opinions?"

Neetsfoot will certainly revive the leather, and darken it. Carnuba oil is good too. If you just want to water proof and shine, then boot polish will do the trick and not harm the leather. Pics please.
I agree with colin as well .. one thing you could do is warm gently the pouch just to melt the boot wax so it get soaked in , but be carefull not to over warm it

the neetsfoot certainly revived and darkened it. That's fine. I'm just trying to get a shine and waterproof.

Well I'm all packed and ready to drive down to Dorset tomorrow. I'm looking forward to this, seems like ages since I was in the woods. I hope I pick up some new tricks and skills that I can pass on to the Suffolk group. I'll take plenty of pics.
