Title: Made a trade
Post by: BenBow on July 02, 2016, 10:16:00 PM

I traded the last longbow I built for a trad tech pinnacle with carbon/wood limbs. Its a 62" and draws 45# @ 28"  it will be my popup blind bow. Of course I couldn't leave well enough alone so I reshaped and stippled the grip, drilled and tapped the riser for a cushion plunger, and then did a full camo paint job. Its been a long time since I owned a recurve and this one is quiet and smooth at my 28 1/2" draw length. This is the first ILF rig I've owned and I like the ability to adjust the bow to fit my style.

Looking good other than the shelf being on the wrong side. Hope you have lots of success with it.

Set out a game cam Saturday and took the bow along to do some stumping. Shoots good but dang the stumps out here are HARD. Its so dry they don't decay, just shrink and get tougher.  :(

Did the arrow fall out of your quiver and ricochet?
