Went to Mojam Friday to look about. Was wandering about visiting and watching folks make bows , stone heads, and other stuff, and the unbelievable happened ...
Ran across a fellow TGer, Mr. Mark Daniels. A fine gentleman who makes some great bows.
He showed me a static curve,sweet drawing ,sexy little gal.
He was also making an osage selfbow, multitalented fellow.
Then I had to get started home, as my dog , Zwickey was in her kennel, and I didn't want her to stay there too long. She is very energetic and I like her to be free to run!!
Mark said he had something in his truck he wanted to show me right quick, so we walked back up the road to his truck where he pulled another beautiful bow out. A 64" D/R, 50# @ 28", right up my alley!! He says" I made this for you" , as I drooled and stammered around.
Unbelievable!! Thanks again Mark!! I can't repeat that enough SIR !
The people of TradGang are some kind of wonderful folks.

Thanks once again Mark !! :bigsmyl:
WOW FINE looking bow!!!!!!!
That's a nice looking bow Kenny, enjoy it!!! How did it tune and what's your setup? Do you shoot the same setup with all your bows?
That's awesome , thanks for sharing . :archer:
Outstanding!
I haven't tuned it in but it seems to like my usual arrows, .500s with a 200 up front, at 30.5" long.
Very nice!!
Pretty darn nice........ :thumbsup:
That's very nice! Very generous folks on here :thumbsup:
Surprised you can get away with a 500 spine, I shoot the dsame as you with 400 spin e am I too stiff? Bareshafts fly well
Unusual sweeping tips Mr. Kenny is it Fast Flight compatible? Reason I asked is I see no horn or Phenolic. Very nice design. Hope you enjoy.
I shot over spine arrows for a long time til I listened to Big Jim and went with 500s . All around better flight now.
Howard, I didn't ask Mark about ff, tho the string looks like it. He will be home from Mojam soon I think.
If anyone deserves it, you do. Chad
500s better then 400s for 50 to 55 pound bow? How do they bareshaft flight and what did big Jim say? Thanks kenny
Dang Kenny!!! What a beauty my friend. That grip looks to be right up your alley :)
Thanks guys!
I bareshaft to 30 yards, if my form is on, they are right with the fletched arrows. I told Jim what I had and he said use 500s. LOL
Wonder if I should try 500s I have a 50 pound bow and a 54 pound coming thisnweek, what ya think?
A lot of it depends on how close to center the actual bow is cut. Past center will take a stiffer shaft and before center , more limber. All trial and error.
You might call Jim and tell him what you have. He is pretty good at estimating what you need.
Beautiful bow. You did have a unbelievable day. Congratulations!
But if you do get him be sure and share it with us.
The one bow I have is a bear super grizzly which is cut to center, Bob Lee elit signature is coming this week, they cut to center?
Good lookin' stick. Kenny!
Bisch
oooh I like that!
Very nice

Sweet Deal :clapper:
