Title: Miller String Follow bow is in!!!!!
Post by: flint kemper on March 24, 2009, 06:38:00 PM
Received my David Miller Glass string follow bow today and what beauty and craftsmanship. I know you want pictures but you will have to wait as it is raining cats and dogs here in Central Illinois and I need some better light to show off its beauty. Just like a kid at Christmas. Well I am off to the basement to fling a few with it. Yippee. Flint  :goldtooth:

I seen them a K-zoo.  Didn't get a chance to shoot them, but I did spend a little time talking with David and drawing the bows.  They were pretty smooth. dino

Here are a couple of indoor photos but they do not do the bow or wood grain justice. Flint

Congratulations, Flint!!  You're probably feeling like a teenager with a new drivers license.

Give me a call Thurs or Fri and we'll meet at Panther Creek and shoot a few.

All right, Flint!

I hope this bow carries the "magic" for you.

I look forward to seeing it, and the first pics of the string of game you'll take with it!!

Glad your dream came together.

Shoot straight!!

Ya have to select the arrow spine for string fellow longs bows carefully.  Once ya get them dialed in they are so sweet.

what spine arrow are you shooting?

rusty

Rusty, I have been shooting a 55,57 and 63 spine at 28.5 BOP at about 9 yards in the basement and it seems to like the 55 to 57 the best. Flint
