Title: Thank You Brad Jansen!
Post by: StanM on June 20, 2010, 05:24:00 PM
I came home yesterday to a package on the front porch. I knew it was the bow from the St. Jude auction that I was the winning bidder for so I thought I wouldn't be surprised...wrong! What I saw was one of the most beautiful bows I've ever seen.  I'll take pictures later.  I put it together and shot it right away.  At 68" it is so smooth to draw.  I shot a number of different spined arrows from it and it is also very forgiving of both spine and poor form    :rolleyes:

Occasionally, you pick up a bow and everything just seems to "work".  This is one of those times for me.

I'm in love. The fit and finish of the bow are superb. Brad, you are quite a craftsman! Thank you for your donation to St. Judes.

You got that right....I've been lucky enough to get a couple of bows from Brad.....All I can say is WOW...  :notworthy:    :notworthy:    He makes fine lookin' bows that shoot fine.  This guy is truly talented, and a good person to boot.  He's the kinda guy that makes Trad Gang a great place to be part of.  I'm one of his biggest fans, if ya get a chance to shoot one of his bows jump at it.  I'm sure you won't be dissappointed.  :archer2:

Hey guys, Thanks for the comments..I do appreciate it.  I am really glad to hear the bow made it to you fine and that you like it so much.  I am happy it found a good home and we raised a little money to boot!

If you haven't seen some of Brad's other creations you are missing out. I got to shoot one of his osage longbows at the Southern IL Gathering. He makes a fine bow! Congrats on the recurve Stan. It looked great!
