One can never have enough toys. :D
That looks like a good problem to have:)
That predator sure looks nice.
Is your Birdseye Firefly upside down and backwards or a lefty?
Love the Northern Mist - cannot go wrong with one of Steves bows and his recurves a rare gems
Bob Urban
That whole bunch looks pretty good to me.
The Birdseye is flipped. It's a RH bow.
That Northern mist is sexy
Tell us more about that northern Mist. How does it shoot? It sure is purty!!!!! :thumbsup:
I've been wanting to try a Firefly too. Let me know what you think.
:thumbsup: x 2...are both of the firefly's recurves?
Yes both are recurves.
WOW !! I hope you hugged your mail carrier. :)
What a joy a new bow!4 bows are a delirium.
That Northern Mist is a gem dandy! I'd like to now more about that one myself! Jason
Awesome bows!
WOW!!
nice bows Dave!! :thumbsup:
:eek: Wow! That should keep you busy for a while Dave.
Hey Dave,
Congratulations on the Fireflies and the other beauties, too. I didn't make many recurves. I felt that my T/D longbows shot as fast and were quieter so I stopped making the curves. Those Firefly bows are about 5 years old.
Jim @ Firefly Bows
Steve is the man! He makes an awesome bow for sure, and that Northern Mist looks like a beauty!! Christmas has come early, congrats!
Got to shoot the Dymondwood Firefly a little tonight.
I sent you an e-mail Jim.
Nice looking bows Dave. Looks like lots of fun on the horizon! :thumbsup:
I've was trying to get Jim to build me a recurve and finally gave up. Now you've got TWO! :help: :D
Shot the Ottawa some tonight. Very nice shooting bow with some real good cast. Great finish work on it too.
looks great

Very nice Dave -- can't wait to hear more about how they all shoot. They are all "lookers" that's for sure :clapper: :clapper:
:bigsmyl:
I showed how many bows you got in one day to my wife David. She told me how much she loved me and that I really didn't have a bow buying problem. Then we went upstairs and.....well this would be a good place to stop this post.
Thanks bro!
Oh yeah don't blow your arm out.
T.J.
All trades T.J. Only spent money on shipping. ;)
So you're saying you owe me one now, eh? :biglaugh:
No way I'm telling her that now Brother. Thanks again and yes I do owe you.
Nice day's work Dave.
I like the looks of the NM too.
should keep you busy for a fey days :thumbsup:
Nice bows!
Is the Firefly recurve very different from the longbows?
Thinking about smoothness, hand shock, speed.
Margly
I haven't shot one of his longbows yet. The recurve took a little tuning to get the buzz down and quieted, but once you hit the sweet spot, they are fine bows.
I've got a Firefly longbow with two sets of limbs and it is a dandy of a bow...quiet, smooth, and fast.
Congrats on a great group of new sticks, Dave!
