Title: Picked up my new Sarrels Superstition!!!
Post by: duck'n on March 23, 2009, 10:02:00 PM
I got a chance to go by Bob Sarrels shop and pick up my new longbow.  This is my 4th Sarrels bow but the first time I have had the pleasure of meeting him in person.  I only wish I could have stayed a while longer.  Anyway, the bow is one of his more popular one piece longbow designs, the Superstition.  My bow is 62" and 50#@28".  The riser is Texas Ebony with a strip of red phenolic and the limbs are Zebrawood over a bamboo core with a red stripe running the length of the bow.  Not only is it beautiful but it shoots great.  I have tried 3 different shafts through it and it shot them all well.  I can't wait to get one fine tuned.  Here are a few pics I took on a quick "walk-about" along the banks of Brushy Creek in central Texas.  No rabbits or squirrels were harmed but I can't say the same for a few cottonwood stumps!  Enjoy.

I love them.  They fit me well and shoot great.  So far I have owned a Sierra, a Teton, and now a Superstition...they are ALL shooters!!!  Oh and the recurves ain't bad either...I love my Wildcatt.

Looks like it has a profile similar to the Howard Hill Badger so therefore, she's got to be a good shooter :-)!
