Title: New bow in progress for luke! NEW PICS
Post by: kennym on June 09, 2009, 07:43:00 PM: Built a bow for a buddy awhile back, seems he doesn't get to shoot it cause his son Luke is most of the time!! So I'm gonna build them another for Luke or his Dad? Got it outta the form and somewhat shaped up. Even shot it,sweet!!

Now the bad news,my regular computer blew up and I can't post pics til about the weekend.

Also if you are having trouble contacting me,please be patient,I'm workin on it!!Hiring it done anyways!! :knothead:

Post by: James Oertel on June 14, 2009, 01:45:00 PM: Fantastic how does it shoot? :clapper:
Title: Re: New bow in progress for luke! NEW PICS
Post by: kennym on June 14, 2009, 02:31:00 PM: Thanks again guys!

James,it is just like the rest off this form,easy shooter and accurate,no barnburning speed,at least with the 12+ gpp arras I'm shootin .
Keeps up with the Black Widow PL II I've got tho,identical arra speeds,but easier for me to shoot!
Of course,I built it so it may fit my hand better than the Widow! LOL

Post by: diesel_tech on June 16, 2009, 12:11:00 AM: Just found this site. I have been shooting a grayling era super grizzly 18 years & took my best buck to date with it , a 140 inch 12 point. I thought I knew more than most about trad. bows & trad. hunting,BUT you guys on here have blown my mind. As the name implies I am a diesel tech & if I had your skill & artistic flair I would build bows & not WORK another day !!! Beautiful bow !!!!
