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
P.
Hey, it's tomorrow already, where's the pictures? I'm just kidding. Sounds like a winner.

Pic's.....Dont know the woods, but i do know that the limb core is bamboo, with some Honduran (maybe) in the riser. Antler in the riser and limb tips...

Danny you are correct, i just found out from the original owner. Don, i'm going to do my best to make that dream come true. Dana..........Sorry man :D , you'll just have to com eon out here and hunt some white tails, or maybe i'll just come out there to hunt some mullies...HHmmmmmm :campfire:
P.
Either-or sounds great. I need and would enjoy some whitetail education/experience.
Sounds like a good plan, we'll have to do both i think :thumbsup: I havent been to AZ in ...shoot it must be about 7 years. now quit given all those beauties away or you wont have anything to shoot with :biglaugh: :biglaugh:

Clear.....Man you kill me :knothead: .....I cant stop laughin..."shoot it upside down"...yeah that might work, we'll try on some deer this season, how bout that :bigsmyl: For those of you that dont know Clear, he is a true friend and one of the funniest, most giving guys around, A good guy that really knows how to lighten the mood of this over competetive shooter. They dont come better :bigsmyl: Shameless i know. Seriously though, meybe september we'll shoot on the 13th...if i'm not huntin that is :thumbsup:
P.

I`m just glad somebody will shoot with me!(Daddy use to tie a pork chop around my neck just to get the dog to play with me when I was a youngen)HAHAHA!!! And for those who dont know Paul he is a stand up guy(had to say that so you will let shoot one of them bows upside down)but I dont want to say much or his head will swell up and his shooting will go down hill fast!!!HAHAHA!!

One set of limbs are 52#'s and one set are 47#'s
These are sweet shooting recurves.
OOOOOOOoooo snake skin.....Where did you have the limbs done, and where did you get the antler bolts? Very nice Mystic...
P.
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.
