Title: EATMON 66
Post by: Kelly on September 01, 2010, 09:05:00 PM

Those of you lucky enough to own one of these fine bow, would you mind sharing some pictures of yours?

I remember seeing them when I lived in Idaho during the 1990s. Even got a chance to shoot one at the Moses Lake, WA trad shoot when Del was there selling them.

Wow,nobody has one of these!

Here is what they look like. This is a recently acquired 43# @ 29" one that was custom made for Don O Smith, who unfortunately passed away several years back. This makes two of his bows that I own.

Kelly
Excuse my ignorance but who was Don O Smith?  Don't recall hearing about him.  Thanks in advance for the education.

Just a good bowhunter from Colorado that was my friend, who also liked Jack Howard's Gamemaster Jet and Eatmon 66's.

That is a pretty bow. Bet it shoots stable with the beefy riser.
