I purchased a martin warthog bow a year or so ago. I have been told its in very good condition but was missing some stuff. I picked up the 8 arrow quiver but I had to purchase another old bow to get it but it is the correct one at least. A friend of mine brought me s martin deerslayer sight and I put a new arrow rest on it too. Was wondering if anyone knows exactly what sight was used on the one in the show? I got the 3 pin deerslayer sight on it now and it looks good but I don't think that was the one. Definitely a cool old school wood bow. Just trying to get as close as I can to the one on the show.

Hands up, I know nothing about archery, but I found a discussion about the Dukes of Hazzard bows at www.archerytalk.com. They said, "The original Warthog had a deerslyer [sic] 300 sight on it."

same here, except I was 14!!

Watched the very first episode in January 1979. I was 4 years old. Man that was a long time ago

Well I haven't been here in a bit. The business we opened up wound up doing very well but taking up a lot of time as well but it is what it is. Wanted to answer the question that it isn't the one in north Carolina. I live in a small town called Plainville in Georgia, its between Rome and Calhoun. The garage/boars nest im talking about is just outside of Shannon ga towards Kingston Ga. The guy has a General Lee, a 69 F350 cooters tow truck, a daisy jeep and a hazzard patrol car. The garage is awesome and the boars nest is built to the RH side of the garage. Has the correct jukebox and pinball machine as seen from the show. Even has the machine that has the huge bands that Boss Hogg was using to shake the fat away lol. It's really neat how far he has put into it as in detail. He also has a toy section and there is alot of cool stuff there too.

To be honest, I'm not much of a drinker, and if I have a pint it's likely to be lager or maybe ale. I don't dislike Guinness, and it does taste different here, but I can't remember the last time I had one. My friend likes the 0.0 alcohol-free Guinness which I might try sometime since I usually have my car with me.

I think I'd have to agree. Maybe you'll like the vocals more in this one. It was on the soundtrack of the 1991 Steve Martin movie 'LA Story', hence the clips in the video. Enya - Exile

The countdown of the 100 greatest songs by Irish artists started on the radio today, and they got halfway with some of the songs I've posted recently already appearing. It'll conclude next Friday, and I'll let you know which ones made the list. In the meantime, here's a song by an Irish artist who wasn't mentioned in the build-up to the poll. Cathy Davey - Reuben While I was looking for the video above I came across a version in Irish (as Gaeilge) with a couple dancing. It's fun.

Happy Easter to all my cousins in Hazzard County!

Yes he did win Michael Keaton

I'm watching the one where Lulu is kidnapped and the Duke Boys are set to rescue her! ( right now Bo's unconcious in a trailer heading down hill!)

Watching dirt bike races right now. They are racing in Detroit.....Lions Stadium

Since December 31, 2023 - he was 84.

I've never heard or seen this. I'll definitely be looking for it! I'm looking for an Irish beer around here, that I like! LOL!

Awesome, I will look that up and see what it looks like. Just picked up a 4 pin sight from ebay and it looks good but im not sure exactly if that one is it either. They made several different deerslayer sights depending on the year I think. I just picked up another bow from ebay with a different deerslayer sight from the two I have. At least I will have a few to choose from

I found them when I was 9. TNN 1996.

It was One Armed Bandits. Repo Men was 3rd and Mary Kaye's Baby 4th. But they aired Repo 4th and Mary Kaye's Baby 3rd. Swamp Molly is actually the 2nd CA filmed episode. Luke's Love Story is the first CA episode. But they aired Swamp Molly first.

Hey, I just thought of something! It's not important but I think it would be interesting..... WHAT ARE YOUR DAILY/WEEKLY DOH WATCHING HABITS? I watch TDOH every night when I go to bed until I fall asleep. Sometimes I'll watch it at other times during the night but 99% of the time, it's at night before I go to bed. It calms me and makes me feel good and it's easy to sleep like that. I might watch some a little earlier tonight! So....what are your watching habits?

Rashers are what the Irish call slices of bacon (back, streaky etc.) that you'd have for breakfast, so they're actually mentioned twice in the fillings. Unless it's related to breakfast, bacon in Ireland usually refers to the boiled meat served in dishes such as bacon and cabbage.

That's so cool that you saw the original episode on the first night....even though you were little. I was just thinking.....was Repo men the first episode? I thought it was " One Armed Bandits"....????......just asking....

We were 14 and not old enough to drive, so DOH on a Friday night was the big time!

Back when the show was airing it was so popular that that it caused Friday Night Football attendance to drop across America. Nobody had VCRs so you only had one chance to see it and nobody knew DVDs would be invented. My girlfriend knew that we wouldn't be going out on any Friday night dates!

It's hard to believe you and John are the same age Roger! That's wild! You're about 6 1/2 yrs. older than me! I turn 61 on Aug. 31

I was born the day John Schneider turned one week old so we both will be 66 next month. I was in the USMC stationed in North Carolina after getting out of boot camp in South Carolina. A lot of young Marines were talking about it so I watched it in the recreation room. I think it was Repo Men episode but I'm not positive. Been a superfan ever since. I'm glad it came out after boot camp so I can say I actually saw a Georgia episode on the night it debuted. (the ep, not the series). In boot camp we went 3 months without TV, radio, or a telephone. That's so cool that you saw the original episode on the first night....even though you were little.

I wish I could help you. It's so awesome you are replicating it. I have an Excalibur Axiom crossbow but have only shot it twice. Looks nothing like anything on Dukes. It's good to hear from you again.

I watched the A-Team save a mission yesterday. And at the end I saw something amazing. Miz Tisdale hugging Mr T. So cool! I wonder if he told her she had to take a number to get a hug.

After a last minute invite, I got to walk in the St Patrick's Day parade today. It's fun being in it, but it does mean that I didn't get to see many of the other participants. Luckily, the weather stayed dry, but it turned cold afterwards. Combine the cold weather with the busy pubs and I decided to delay my Guinness.

I'm thinking that I might try a Guinness today. I mentioned ale above - have you ever tried it, Hobie. I see they sell Smithwick's in 14.9 oz cans in the US.

OK my fellow Hazzardites....it's Dukes Of Hazzard Day! Happy DOHD!!! I'm about to watch Jeopardy ( a special celebrity edition but around 8:00pm central....I'll have my DVDs of TDOH.....I'll tell you what I'm watching, in case anybody's here and wants to watch with me! I'm about to partake of the spirits....Natural Ice ( Ice beer is my favorite! ) and finish Jeopardy! I hope everybody is having a great DOHD ! Hey, Hoss, your Irish song stuff is excellent! I love Irish music......because I'm Irish on both sides of my family? I HATE Guiness....so....???? But the music is excellent! THANK YOU! Right now...I'm watching Ding Dong The Boss Is Dead!

The General Lee is the STAR of the show.

Here's another Irish musician who remains a perennial favorite. I've just realized that this song is slightly older than me! Van Morrison - Moondance

Hazzard County is a great PLACE to live.

Emma Tisdale must be Irish then.

I'll try to keep up the Irish songs until St Patrick's Day, but not all of the great artists make songs with single word titles. Here's a great song about resilience and unsung heroes. It seems to have been an inspiration to a lot of the commenters on YouTube. Lead singer Danny O'Donoghue also spent some time as a judge/coach on 'The Voice UK' alongside Jessie J, will.i.am and Tom Jones. When you've been fighting for it all your life You've been struggling to make things right That's how a superhero learns to fly Every day, every hour, turn the pain into power The Script - Superheroes I'm now going to break the one word rule because I wanted to post a second song by The Script as we used to sing it in the choir. This one is about a man waiting for a girl to return to the corner where he first saw her. Paradoxically, given the title, I find it rather moving! Going back to the corner where I first saw you Gonna camp in my sleeping bag, I'm not gonna move Got some words on cardboard, got your picture in my hand Saying, "If you see this girl, can you tell her where I am?" Some try to hand me money, they don't understand I'm not broke, I'm just a broken hearted man I know it makes no sense but what else can I do How can I move on when I'm still in love with you The Script - The Man Who Can’t Be Moved

Awakening was great! Beautiful music and women! Nothing beats an Irish Babe!

that one or Magnum PI's Ferrari 308

JUG of shine! Happy DOHD everybody!

the singing is so/so but I like the music! very....upbeat! I liked this! She's pretty good looking! ( She'll never beat Emma Tizdale but still...... )

Well fellow Hazzardites, it's DOHD and I 'm getting ready to celebrate and that means communing with the spirits and then after the news, TDOH!! I'm still going over season 5 and then I'll probably start 6 tomorrow! Hey guys.....does anyone come in here on DOHD or is it just me? Hey what episode are you guys going to watch tonight on DOHD? I'll be back later and let you know what I'm watching........I know you guys are waiting with bated breath to find out!

No car in Hazzard County was fast enough to beat the GENERAL!

Well I've got to have my wife at work in McMinnville ( 2 counties over) at 7am tomorrow but I'm still going to indulge in my last three MBI ( Milwaukee's Best Ice). I was just thinking.....back when I was .....a lot less affluent than I am now, I used to buy Heineken a lot. It's my fav. beer...." Drink Heineken and you'll feel fine again!" It's a lot more expensive than domestic and blue collar beer........NOW I buy the MWB Ice a lot and couldn't tell you the last time I bought Heineken! I now understand.....when you have more money, you tend to get tighter...lol! But hey....!! Here's one for you.....to make sure you're not going TOO tight, etc. , when you get your paycheck, etc. take a pre-set amount out for charity and set it aside. Then when you have whatever amount you feel good about, ( mine is $500), send it to a charity. I love children, so my 3 favorites are Shriners children's hospital, March of Dimes and St. Jude's Children's hospital. I alternate between those 3, when I have 500 saved in my charity envelope. Giving is a personal thing, so I'm not trying to tell anybody what to do. I'm just making a suggestion, based on my own life and how I've figured it out, to be giving and know how to balance proper giving and not rationalize my way out of it. ( " Hey! I gave some!") That way I can be generous AND Jewish all at the same time!!! LOL!!

Like The Blizzards (above), brothers Frank and Seán O'Meara are from Mullingar. They wrote this song based on the true story of Grace Gifford's marriage to Joseph Plunkett in Kilmainham Gaol. Plunkett was one of the leaders of the 1916 Easter Rising, and was executed by the British just hours after the wedding. It's a heart-wrenching and poignant ballad that's a bit different to the songs I've posted recently. The Wolfe Tones - Grace

I posted another song by Bell X1 in the One Word Song Titles thread recently, but I heard this one today and it has too many words in the title for that thread. I known and liked it for a while, but never knew what it was about. According to the band, they used to see a man in his late-50s sleeping rough in Dublin. One day he had a female companion, and they invented this backstory for him. Bell X1 - Rocky Took A Lover Here's when they performed it live on Letterman in 2008.

DOH is the QUINTESSENTIAL good time show!!

can't OPEN general's doors

This is very funny in CMT Inside Fame The Dukes of Hazzard. Balladeer:"When it came time fer Ben Jones to audition fer Cooter, all he had to do was roll outta bed." 😂

The GENERAL Lee is my farorite car.

Yes! Life is good once more. This ain't the same place without Garrett!

Trivia: His full name is Waylon Arnold Jennings.

Honestly I genuinely feel blessed to be here, and thanks for the compliment Roger.
