Post by: 1/4 away on January 01, 2017, 05:04:00 PM
I don't know why it took me so long to try one of Leon's bows but I sure am glad I own one now. These bows are shooters!!

Rick, This one was not off his inventory but I was eyeing the 62" 44#er he has in stock but was offered this beauty by a fellow TG'er.

Fred,
A good friend of mine called me on Thursday night and he said he saw that "My Buddy " had a Stewart he posted on here and he really liked your bow.
I told him you sent me pics before Christmas of it and he wanted to know what burl veneers were used on it?
I couldn't remember what you text me so when you get a chance can you post them please my"Buddy"?
Thanks and seeing it here enlarged it really looks nice and glad you like it. What's next in your stable and "DON'T" tell be this is it lol..Oh and please make a post today cause your post count have those evil numbers in them.      :biglaugh:

I like the lines on that bow. Just "looks" like it would be comfortable in the hand. Never shot one though. Gonna have to fix that. Enjoy.

Hi Mike, Happy New Year to you as well my friend.

Joe, This bow is extremely comfortable to hold and the smoothest to draw. Shoots where it's pointed and just fun to shoot. Been shooting it almost daily since I received it.

I prefer to buy my custom bows second hand (call me cheap) but I just realized that Leon is less than an hour from my house.  Think I'll pay him a visit.

Keefer, Tell your friend that the riser is figured maple with Macassar Ebony I beam and accents and the limb cores are yew with mappa Burl veneers.

Thank you Fred and he may read it here but I'll pass the word on by phone cause he liked those veneers.
