Title: Look what came today.......PIC'S!!!!!!
Post by: TradPaul on August 16, 2008, 11:42:00 PM
Got home fom Sissipahaw today after some much needed foam killin. After the 2 hour drive and getting up early and going to bed late the night before, we pulled up ready to sit back and relax. But upon walking up to the door there was a package..YES!!!!! relaxing forgotten fatigue forgotten, i quickly set about setting up my new Wes Wallace Mentor. She is beautiful, and i can believe i havent gotten one before. inherantly quiet, solid in the hand with a grip to die for. Like a kid on christmas i ran out side with several arrows to bareshaft. Finally i settled on the CE 250 29.25" long with a 200 grn on the front. This bow is 50#@29 and throws this combination with authority. My groups were super tight which is a testament to the forgivness of this bow. I'll snap some pic's tomorrow for ya'll. Thanks must be given to my buddy 16 Gauge whom i got this bow from, a stand up guy that is great to talk to, thanks again my friend.

See below for pic's

OOOOOOOoooo snake skin.....Where did you have the limbs done, and where did you get the antler bolts? Very nice Mystic...

Post by: MYSTIKBOW on August 22, 2008, 07:09:00 PM
I bought the bow from Danny Spencer, (yleecoyote23)He did the skins himself. I have to say he did a first rate job of it too! They are as good as any I've seen by the pros. I had him e-mail me the directions the way he does it. I can e-mail them to you if you want.
The limb bolts were made by Frank Scukanec (sticshooter. If you check the SPONSOR classifieds he has a bunch of em listed for sale right now.
