Title: 2 FIRSTS FOR STIC
Post by: sticshooter on November 23, 2009, 04:15:00 PM
I have been a real bow whore as of late  :saywhat:  
swapping like a madman. and i came across this Dryad Orion 3 pcs longbow with 2 sets of limbs. Always wnat to shoot on of these and had a shot a getting a couple but they alluded me. Got this today and it is a super nice bows. This is the first dryad Glass bow I have shot and I am very happy. Them boys build a great bow. If ya look real close at them arrows in  the target you will see my OTHER first. Yep a ROBINHOOD! Yeah I know old news to alot on herer but for me it's a first aand i am pumped. Been shooting a bow since I was 8. Never got one before and the includes compound.Yep I like this bow and now maybe i'll slow down in all the bow swapping   :biglaugh:    "[dntthnk]"    :rolleyes:  <><>

Just your luck Frank.  Save money by finding the bow of your dreams and dropping out of the bow buying market.  But now you'll spend all your extra cash on arrows!  :biglaugh:

Thanks Guys. I a have a zipper SXT coming this week and I wanna shoot it bad. Then I will thin the herd. But this bow and the SXT will stay I am sure of that as will the zipper TD recurve  got last week. I wanna get down to 6 bows. Whip I might just have to come shoot with you... and barrow your arrows LOL. It's been a great month. last weekend me and Shells Brother were coming back  from moving stands and see this in the farmers field. The way my hunting is going Blasted ATV's this is most likely the only venison i am getting. Yep thats a STIC knife and worked great. The cop that was there to tag it wants a knife now LOL.<><<><

Frank...you're going to like that Zipper SXT. Picked mine up from Bill at his shop this past summer and it's become my go to bow. One of Mike and Jason's bows is still on my short list also, somewhere down the line. I like your taste in longbows.   :thumbsup:

yeah I always like zippers. From my fisrt one which was a zipstick to my recurves. But like most they went in a swap. but the sxt is just flat out a super looking bow and I know I will love it. As for this Dryad... wow I LIKE IT! The workman ship on the Orion is FANTASTIC those boys know there way around wood.<><

Thanks guys. mike I think Karim wants a couple more sets. Mike you guys make a super bow. wow I just put the 43# limbs on it and I shoot it even better. It is thus far one of the  sweetest one of  longbows i have shot in a longtime. And I know it's not going anywhere. the woods are awesome and the dirty bamboo limbs are just FANTASTIC. I can't say enough about the workmanship on this bow. I love it!<><

These firsts are important lessons never forgotten. Each one adds to the collection that is trad. Kind of like those killer knives of yours.

I will behunting this next week and bunnys ala so. I can't wait for my SXT I know i am going to love it. I am on a ROLL baby!<><
