I apologize if this has been done, but I really enjoy looking at the closeups of other's bows and setups... how about a single place where people can show off their's? Plus it'll help me get ideas of what looks good together for when I order my RER.
Let's limit it to a couple lines of text (length/weight/brand/wood?), and 3 pictures each (one overall, one closeup of the riser, and one kill shot)
Interesting to see this. If this has been done, can someone post the link?
yea, let's see um !

T.J.---I also think your Cari-Bow is about the sharpest bow I've seen. Really an outstanding bow. I'm from Cleveland and my family lives in Middlefield, which I believe is pretty close to you. If I remember right you guys always had a good H.S. football team, at least when I was going to school. (1972-1976)

Trooper---where did you find those limb covers? I'll bet that doe was a stink to clean, huh?
nice set-ups guys!
JBIORN,
Those limb covers came off an old Ben Pearson I bought from an old gentleman about 8 years ago. That doe wasn't too bad to clean. I skin and quarter out my deer right where I find them. With the technique I use (learned from Warren Womack) I don't have to gut them so I never cut open the stomach area. Once I have it quartered up and in my ruck sack I hike out to my jeep.
Murray
Cari-bow Silver Fox. 62" 58# @ 28". Bocote and Pau Ferro. Arrows might be carbon, might be wood, but always heavy. 2 Blade heads (right now they are Eclipse, but have used Ribteks, Magnus, Stos, Ace, and others.
