Title: New Longbow!
Post by: LONGBOWKID on May 28, 2009, 04:10:00 PM
Long story behind this one. Got it from Chad Holm around 5 months ago. It had to stay in a box until I finished my schoolyear, with all A's.
Incase you havent figured it out yet, I did.

She's a looker! Cocobolo riser, red elm limbs, bamboo core. 60" 64#@28".

Heres a few "unveiling" shots for ya.

I was wondering why you were so quiet about the bow.  Now I understand.  Bows will come and go throughout your life.  Lessons learned at 16 will attribute to what you become later in life.  Chad

Gotta love those Holm-Made bows. I had to make my grades before I could get a Holm-Made. Of course, I was 16 years old 40 years ago and Chad wasn't alive back then. Way to go, Kid!
