Title: Kalamazoo Cottonmouth
Post by: Jack Denbow on February 02, 2010, 03:31:00 PM
A couple of months ago I bought a pair of cottonmouth skins out of the Tradgang classifieds from Chris Surtees and sent them to Jerry Brumm and ordered a new Bushbow. I asked Jerry to put the skins on it. I knew it should be getting near time for my new bow but didn't think about it when we got to Kalamazoo on Friday evening. My buddy and I visited with Jerry first thing and as we started to move on to see other people at the Expo Jerry said "you forgot something" and handed me my new bow. It is 62" and 50#@28" with the Jack-Knife handle. It has hickory limbs and a shedua riser. I have several Great Northern's but this is my first Bushbow. I can see another one in my future, this bow really shoots nice. Here are a few pictures for your viewing pleasure.

That's nice, I love my BushBow. The longer you have it the more it will grow on you. Mine is 51#@29" and has Osage limbs.      Enjoy!!

The pictures don't do it justice. Those skins look like they are 2" deep. Nice job by Mr Brumm as always. Now the World Reknown Bowhunter has a bow worthy of him  :-)
