Title: New Wildcat Rose Oak
Post by: SOLAR on September 04, 2008, 06:18:00 AM
I have had this bow for about 6 weeks now and CAN NOT PUT IT DOWN!
Brandon is an artist and a very easy person to deal with, even from my home in Australia.
I am saving for the new model Wildcat now.

Thanks Brandon

Now some pics
She is 53#@29"

I must also tell you that the quiver was made by Ed Burgess (His also goes by the name Cherokeeslim).
The quiver is also a work for art.

Thanks to all involved in my bow, love your work!!!!!

Brandon is a great bowyer and a great guy. He actually had my wildcat this week as my 2 year old son picked it up and dropped it on a cement floor and Brandon did the touch-up for free. Just out of curiosity, what brace height are you shooting your wildcat at and what kind of string are you using?

Awesome bow and quiver!  I have that same bow but did not think to give Ed a call    :banghead:

He only lives about a half hour from me and I have one of his turkey calls.

After seeing that quiver, I HAVE TO call him now.

Congratulations on the new gear and enjoy the bow, it is definitely functional art.

Outstanding looking bow! And a great performer! Brandon is an outstanding bowyer in my opinion.

I love both my Rose Oaks! Enjoy!

That bow is absolutely gorgeous. My favorite wood combo as well.  Quiver is spectacular as well, did Brandon make that as well?

Awesome looking bow, love the wood combo.  I have one of Ed's quivers myself, they are a work of art.  Met him this spring at the Trad Expo here in Ohio.

Ed Burgess of Albion, Indiana made the quiver.

He does not have a website.  Best way to contact him is to do a whitepages.com lookup and give him a call.  He is on an Elk hunt (bow) in Utah for another week, but his wife will take the message and give you pretty much any info you need.

I'm not a big take-down fan but, that bow is unique! Hope she brings you many years of enjoyable shooting. Stay safe and shoot straight.

Wow!  What a beauty.  I also received one of Brandon's bows -- a Tomcat.  I have one big problem with the bow, I haven't been able to shoot it much since I pulled a muscle in my upper arm.  But I can't say enough about the craftsmanship that goes into each of Brandon's bows -- nice lookin' lines and quiet, smooth, and fast. I don't want to take away from this post, so I'll show some pics a little later.  Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for the information on the Quiver. It complements Brandons bow very nicely.

If you like the look of a one piece but in a takedown, then Brandon's newest model might be for you. This one is serial number 3. It is a real shooter and a real looker.

Jwingman, I have always loved the onepiece look of takedown bows!  That's why I liked the old Sky bows and the Border takedowns.

I'm glad Brandon is making one like that now.

That sure is a sweet looking bow.  Congratulations to you for your new bow and to Brandon for his new line.

Edit:  I just looked on Brandon's site, but couldn't find this new model.  Can you tell me what it's called?

The newly designed takedown is not on Brandon's web site yet but should be shortly. Brandon told me this design will replace his current design down the road. It will be offered in two lengths but is only available in 64 inch right at teh moment. I am sure he would be more than happy to talk to anyone who might be interested in one of these bows. Tell him I sent you. - jwingman
