Thank you, Mr. Viehweg, for your donation to the PBS auction. The bow arrived while I was away Directing a Men's ACTS retreat. Today, I unboxed it and was struck by the beauty of the limb laminations. I strung it and drew it back, stout and smooth. Pretty "D" shape. It will see some stick-time chasing hogs at Granger WMA in the next few weeks. Again, thank you Mr. Viehweg and thank you PBS.

I'm guessing you are talking about Mark Viehweg. He's a hell of a guy and his contribution is typical of him.

Wudstix, I wish you the best of luck with the bow and put some blood on it! I enjoyed it for many years, but it's time to shoot some lighter bows such as my new 57# Tim Finley Kota or several 68# Robertsons.

Thanks sir;
Have not shot it yet, just drew it about a half dozen times. I am still shooting 64-71# bows, hope to for a few more years. What are the specifics on this bow? Limb laminations, core wood, type of horn tip?

I was very interested in that bow myself, but just can't handle that draw weight. :tongue:
