Title: Thank-you Brian Wessel (talltines) Update
Post by: 1/4 away on March 16, 2010, 12:11:00 PM
Just received this pic of my new Tall Tines recurve from Brian and wanted to share it with you. It should be here this week and I'm psyched!
Brian was fantastic to work with and I can't wait to get this beauty in my hands.  60" 52#@28"
ziricote riser and myrtle limbs.

Fred,

Looks GREAT   :thumbsup:  

I knew what you were doing, but hadn't seen pictures yet.  Nice choice.  

We should get on the bow-a-month plan   :D  I am pretty close.  I should have my TallTines turkey bow in time for the season.

Fred - those are some great looking curly myrtle lams!  Love the way that wood looks.
Title: Re: Thank-you Brian Wessel (talltines) Update
Post by: 1/4 away on March 16, 2010, 05:32:00 PM
I don't know where Brian gets his wood from but all the lams and riser woods are eye-popping, which doesn't make it any easier to pick a wood combo.
Title: Re: Thank-you Brian Wessel (talltines) Update

Fred,

Are those antler limb tips?  Did you get antler knobs or just the standard black ones?
Title: Re: Thank-you Brian Wessel (talltines) Update
Post by: deercraver on March 17, 2010, 12:44:00 PM
That is a great looker for sure.
Title: Re: Thank-you Brian Wessel (talltines) Update
Post by: 1/4 away on March 18, 2010, 08:46:00 AM
Steve, Yes they are antler limb tips and yes on the antler knobs as well. Brian mailed the bow tuesday so I'm expecting it today or tomorrow.

Well the bow got here a little over an hour ago and I couldn't wait to unpack it and get it strung. Shot about 20 arrows out of it at first and it was dead on the money, shooting to my point of aim. The string didn't have any silencers on it and while not excessive it had a bit of a twang. I then put my quiver on it and another string that Allen Shafer made for me that did have silencers on it and WOW!!! dead on and dead silent!!! After shooting another 25 or so arrows I called Brian to thank him for such a phenominal piece of work. Beautiful as it is deadly!!!!

I'm glad you like the bow....how bout that GRIP RIDGE.....whatcha think about that?

That's a beautiful wood combo you chose.

Enjoy.

Post by: Cyclic-Rivers on March 18, 2010, 07:39:00 PM
I'd be surprised if you will be able to hit the target.  If i were to shoot that bow and hit where I was looking I would shoot it in half. LOL

Nice looking bow

It looks even better all decked out Fred.

The antler tips and knobs really set it off nicely.

i've seen this bow up close and had the opportunity to shoot it for a bit. my honest assessment... shocky, slow, and unbelieveably inaccurate. pretty hard to look at too. oh wait, that was the bow i shot in gym class i was  thinking about...  :biglaugh:  

hmmmm, let me think. oh yeah the TT shot great. now i remember!!  the bow is a beauty and very well mannered. congrats fred!!

no no fred, that was my mischievous children. they mistook the bow for a nice new toy that was for them. don't be so hard on them though.. ya know they're young.    :biglaugh:

Good looking wood, that is a Wessel trait. I am sure the riser has a repeatable grip. Enjoy!!  :thumbsup:    :thumbsup:    :thumbsup:

Fred you have set it up nicely
Title: Re: Thank-you Brian Wessel (talltines) Update
Post by: Mark Zagrzebski on March 22, 2010, 03:12:00 AM
Fred, what brand of quiver is that? 4 or 5 arrow?
Title: Re: Thank-you Brian Wessel (talltines) Update
Post by: 1/4 away on March 22, 2010, 08:16:00 AM
Mark, It's a Thunderhorn 2 Point quiver. It's actually a 6 arrow quiver but you can slide out the rubber arrow grippers and carry and space as many arrows as you like. I only carry 4 broadheaded arrows...2 blade BH's aren't a problem carrying 6 but if you shoot 3 or 4 blades it gets a little tight and this quiver allows you to carry 4 or 5 without the BH's or fletching hitting one another.  Fred
