Title: Anyone Shoot'n / LeRoy's String
Post by: MJB on June 08, 2008, 07:17:00 PM
Although it was in the 90's today and sweat'n like Mike Tyson in a spelling bee. I fletched up a couple arrows and decided to give LeRoy's new string a go. After about ten warm up shots I settled in on this. Bear Grizzly #52 , 2016 arrow distance was 18 yds. I have a REAL GOOD FEEL'N LeRoy was watch'n.
THANKS BRO.. God Bless..

I have one on almost all my bows and quote a few back ups as well.  Yup he made one of the best strings I think I will ever use.

Got one just a few days before his untimely exit.  It resides on my Morrison Shawnee and is a fine string, a simlitude to the man that wove it.

Thanks MJB, I have wondered if anyone still pauses in contemplation for LeRoy.  This world we live in is unforgiving.  A life time goes into the making of a man and is seemingly forgotten overnight.  I made a conscious decision some time back that I would not so easily forget those that pass having touched my life.  It just needs to be this way - to honor someone's memory.  It is the best we can do and what we should hope others will do for us.  Gone but not forgotten.

I make a lot of my own strings, but his were better by far. I was sure looking forward to ordering more.

Yup, shot one last night...resides on my Horne Brushbow that LeRoy sold to me. I have a spare, and a couple for my Firefly also. My wife's Bear recurve also wears a very nice string he made for her!
Here's a pic of the Horne...man that snow looks good after all this heat!!

He'll be missed in our BuckJam deer camp...but he'll be with each of us on the hunts!

LeRoy Carlson aka Golden Hawk was a Trad Gang Brother. He was a string maker extraordinare.He made strings for quite a few of us folks.Helped us with string questions.Tell him your bow and he knew which type  string would work best.  A friend to many and missed by all. The last bow I had with a LeRoy string on it I no longer own.

I am shooting one on my Quillian Patriot and have 2 more in the package for when this one wears out. LeRoy made some fine strings and was a great person who will be sorely missed. I hope 3 strings will last a long time.
