Title: St. Jude Palm tab thanks Stickhorse
Post by: Hermon on July 16, 2016, 03:43:00 PM
Stickhorse (Bob Freese) generously offered to build Palm tabs for the St. Jude auction this year.  After the auction Bob contacted me to discuss rh/lh, size,material preferences,etc.  A few days later he sent me a tab to try.  He told me to shoot it a few days, trim it as needed and then send it back to him so he could make one just to my liking.  After shooting and trimming it, I sent Bob a message that I was about ready to send it back to him.  He replied that instead sending it back, to just make a tracing of it and to include any measurements or comments that I had and send the tracing and notes to him.  He also asked if I would like something special in the way of leather.  Well yesterday I received my new custom Palm tab:

It is more than I expected.  The beaver tail matches the grip material on several of my longbows.  The tab fits great and shoots as good as it looks  too. So I ended up with 2 tabs for my bid.  Thanks so much Bob!
