Title: HABU on the way!!!
Post by: jonsimoneau on January 15, 2010, 03:20:00 PM
I've been on the list for another Habu bow (my favorite bow).  I called Chris Cox today and he told me he had a  refurbished Bacote Vyperkhan for sale, at a poundage that both myself and my wife can handle.  I bought it immediately.  And the best part is...I'm still on the list this fall for another one!  I'm a big fan of sticking with just one or two bow brands.  I've got an old Habu recurve. Ebony handle with bacote limbs.  Not only do I shoot it more accurately than any other bow...but it's pretty.  Well....i've put some scratches on it....but I would never sell it.  It's going to my brothers son when he is ready. I also love the dakota built by Rick Welch but I raffled mine off for a P.B.S. member in need.  Life is GOOD!

So, I've had tbis bow for a little bit and have been shooting the hell out of it.  WOW is all I have to say.  This bow is 45lbs. at 28 inches and I am shooting the same arrow out of it that I used on a 55Lb bow,and it is amazing!  I got this one refurbished from Chris Cox.  It was a bow that he bought back from a customer and then sold to me.  I saved quite a bit of money on it...so everyone is happy.

I had an older Habu recurve that I sold a while back. It is one of those bows I wish I never had sold. It was a few pounds heavier than what I prefer. It was a great shooting bow and in fantastic condition. Boy am I dumb for selling that one.    :banghead:

Jim, nope, I'm not an exon guy!  Just a union Laborer who does alot of concrete work on the side in the summer.  Trust me...I'm broke now, and the big hunting trips are going to slow dramatically since I got married.  Glad I did it when I could though!  I'll try to get some pics up this weekend of the bow.
