Title: "New" Bows....
Post by: BodarkOkie on May 04, 2008, 07:40:00 PM

I guess I kept these a "secret" long enough. But, I had to shoot them a while first. Got the first one (ACS) in January and the RamHorn in February.

Both shoot great!! I don't, but they do.

#1: ACS CX 62" T/D 45# @ 28". Osage riser..

#2: Sort of a "rare" bow.
Jim Reynolds 60" RamHorn T/D Recurve, 46# @ 28".
Actionwood & Bocote (I think) riser; tiger-stripe maple limbs.

I took a javelina with the RamHorn last month at Sierra Blanca, TX.

I had to drop down in poundage two years ago due to carpal tunnel and a bulged disc. Even had to shoot left-handed for a year, but I think everything is OK now.

I do have to thin out several heavier bows, though. Watch for upcoming ads in the classifieds.

You got yourself two beauties. I would be hard pressed to choose which one to shoot. Thanks for the pics.

Mark,

I've been playing around with leather for about 50 years and just starting making a few things lately. I'm donating one for the St. Jude's Auction.

Thanks for the compliment.

Two beautiful bows. I especially like that Reynolds Ramhorn Takedown .I'd have to say it is a rare bow for sure. Enjoy!

Ramhorn T/D ... hmmmm ... that's not fair! You sure got a couple of sweet bows there. Pretty good with that leather for someone just "playing around". That'll be one more to watch for in the St. Jude's Auction :thumbsup:

Hi Gene. Those are two great bows and I like the arm guard. Not bad for just playing around. I need to drop in weight also. It,s hell getting old :banghead:
