Title: I stand in awe... (Mike and Jason are AWESOME!!!)
Post by: tmccall on September 05, 2008, 01:54:00 PM
I haven't been around here much lately, but the last few years I've been pretty active here and in traditional bow hunting.

About a year ago a job change, and a subsequent promotion, caused my favorite pastime to suffer.

I am ashamed to say that I have only picked up my bow once or twice since last deer season...    However, that's about to change!!!!  

Completely without my knowledge my Dad conspired with Mike and Jason Westvang to present me with the most extraordinary gift I've ever received!

This morning a package was delivered to my desk at work and packed within was a brand new 3-Piece Dryad Orion -- and I am utterly speechless!

I just can't say enough good things about Mike and Jason and their bows!  

There are others here that can attest to the fact that they are extraordinary guys who put out an incredible product.

From the bottom of my heart I want to say a BIG BIG BIG THANKS to Mike and Jason and my Dad.

You guys are the best!

Would your dad consider adopting me?  I'm real polite, keep my room clean, and can do chores...

Tony failed to mention that he has newly became pastor of a church near here. He is out tonight taking care of business and asked me to put a few more pictures of the site so here goes.

Tony's first shot from the new bow. I might add that the bow is great looking in the pictures he has already posted, but that can't hold a candle to how it looks in real life.

Yours truly getting a turn at it.

A typical group from the new bow. Notice most of the shots are a little high. This is "imo" due to the extra speed of this bow.

I am impatiently waiting for my new bow to arrive. Hopefully it will be here tomorrow.

Thanks Tony!!  It is a pretty one for sure.  I fall in love with the dang things before they get out of here.  Yours and your dad's were two of the best wood combos we have done.

FYI  It's Pau Santo and Bocote.

Beautiful BOW!!!  I love the Orion, someday I'll have one, but yours is amazing.  The limb lams are killer!


All the posts about Dryad bows are killing me.  October will be here soon enough, then mine will be in...

I just gotta say once more how awesome this bow is!  It was a real pleasure to shoot.  

I know I say this every time I get a new Dryad Bow but this is the best shooting sweetest looking bow I've ever shot!  

It seems that each bow I've gotten from Mike and Jason has topped the last one I got from them but I truly believe they have finally hit the pinnacle.  I don't ever anticipate holding a bow any more perfect than this one.

After a few shots I told my Dad, "This is the last bow I'll ever own."  I can't imagine ever wanting or needing another bow...
