Title: Got My Bow!
Post by: Westy on November 09, 2009, 08:50:00 PM
My 1st bow showed up today! I don't have the rest of the gear yet so it'll be awhile before I can try it out but wanted to say thanks to those that have helped me so far in finding the bow and also helping me select some arrows.

Here's the specs on the bow...

Sheepeater Spirit / traditional grip -  Bocote riser, osage core with clear glass with osage limb underlay's and bocote tip overlays.  50" nock to nock, 35#'s @ 28"

I'm glad I started off with a low weight bow - it quickly made me realize how weak I really am   :eek:   The office job is making me soft!


I will keep everyone posted on how she shoots once I finish gathering all the gear. Until then, I'll probably have some more questions for ya!


Here's a few pictures to tied you over, sorry for the quality, I had to take them in the house since it was dark out when I got home...

Looks like you may have caught the fever. Twenty years later and the journey is still as exciting and fun.
