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..

Yep,he's watchin'.
I have one on my Acadian reurve.Leon
I have one on the Thunderstick and a few more as reserves
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.
Killdeer :(

I've got 2 - one on my Silvertip and one on my Wolverine...great strings! :thumbsup:
Most of my bows wear strings made by LeRoy...
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!
I have one on my BlackCreek Banshee longbow and one on my sons Saxon Shrike.
i have got one on my shrew ready to go to Namibia and South Africa, will be thinking of him when i draw down on something. :(
I have one on my Hill Cheetah.
This may be a dumb question,but who is Leroy?

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 got two of his strings for my J.K. Traditions longbow.First rate product and service. :thumbsup:I did'nt know he passed till I read this post.He will be missed. :pray:
Check the thread in prayer forum, don't forget, we are passing the hat.
Yep,allready checked,thanks.Kinda short right now[layoffs],but in a few weeks I can pitch in.
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.
Jedimaster YOUR WELCOME :pray:
