Title: ***New 54" Osage RER Arroyo ***PICS***
Post by: Chris Surtees on April 23, 2009, 12:42:00 PM
I have had is for a couple months but was waiting for the Osage to darken a little before posting pix of it.

It is all Osage, 54" and 57@26 Arroyo.

Just have to say thanks to Kevin, Sue, and of course Whip.

These are all links so just click on them to see a larger pic.

This is a very special bow as it was made from the same piece of Osage as my Dad's was. Maybe he will be along shortly to post some pix of his Osage/Waterfall Bubinga 54" Arroyo.

Very cool Chris, and thanks for the promo!

I have to agree with snakewood - that is quite the backstop you have there!

Stay safe, hope you can bring that bow home soon!

Marco,

It is supposed to break a hundred in a few days but at least it is a dry heat   ;)

Whip,

99 days and counting...it will go fast. Believe it or not sandbags are not all that hard on arrows   :)

Thank you just never seems to be enough...
Semper Fi!! and HooAH !!

Ranger 3, those are sand bags around an indirect fire (Scud) bunker. Just so happens they are under a sunshade and make about the best backstop I have found.

Billy,

I will be done and coming home to drop my retirement paperwork. Hopefully the Army lets me out.

Never was fond of filling bags but these were done before I arrived so I just adapted to my environment.

I will send my dad and email about posting pix of his bow tonight.

That is awesome...thank you for serving!

Wish I would have had my bow in Saudi when I was over there...would have made the time go a bit faster.

Stay safe and drill some game when you get home.

Here is my Osage/Waterfall Bubinga 54" Arroyo that was made from the same piece of Osage as my son's.  Never get enough of that beautiful Osage.

Thanks everyone...

I just love the Osage/Waterfall Bubinga combo my Dad has been using on his last coupla bows. Really looks good together especially when the Osage starts to turn.

Billy,

No short timers chain yet...I am just waiting to get outta here right now...The Army does not have to let me retire so no retirement count down until I am approved.
