Title: Busy day! Delivered a new bow
Post by: Dan Bonner on September 06, 2008, 10:53:00 PM
I finally got this bow delivered to Horne Shooter.
He's been waiting a while! I guess he likes it. Heres his first group (20 yds)

Its a little stressful watching someone bend your baby into a pretzel. That's a full 30" draw.

I like the woods on this one. It's has an Osage/TX ebony riser and Carpathian elm burl veneers in the limbs.

I also shaped 3 risers and glued up a set of limbs today.

Not a bad day in the garage!

Thanks for looking.

It took a year but Bonner came through.  This is REALLY a nice bow and for me to shoot a first group like the one in the picture says something for the equipment...I'm just not that good!!

Very quiet and seems to be fast.  I like it cause it hits where I'm looking.

Thanks again Dan!
