Title: Looky what I got.. (man law)
Post by: WESTBROOK on March 31, 2008, 12:56:00 PM
When Ron posted a while back that he had a couple bows in stock, well whadayano one of them was a lefty! What do ya do when a bow like this shows up and you already got 2 on order?

Buy it anyway!

Pictures tell the rest.

No Bob, figured I'd just try some wool yarn. 25 wraps around a credit card, slip it in the string and snip the ends. $5 bucks for the scane of yarn, enough to last a lifetime. So far so good, we'll see how they hold up.

Hey Bob you got a picture of your Shrew? That Osage and phenolic is one of the prettiest bows I've seen. Looks like a big ol' Yellow Jacket, "The Killer Bee".

They shoot purty sweet, theres a lot of bow in that little package! The only arrows I got right now are about 600gr and heavier, it handles them really well.

Yeah John that Robertson is a great bow, I'm just longbow kinda guy anymore.

Eric:
I think you might have stumbled on a direction for its name... got to work on it.

And like any proud parent - here are some of my picture - somehow they just don't really show how the Osage "pops":
