Post by: PAPA BEAR on August 02, 2010, 11:31:00 PM
my griffin arrived today that i purchased from fellow tradganger bergie.all i can say is WOW.absolutely incredible shooting bow.so smooth,shock free and is a rocket launcher.i ran two through the chrono just to see how fast...650 gr arrow...bow is 64" 58@28 so should be 61 at my draw.both arrows were doin 190 fps.this is my holy grail bow ..i shot this bow lights out from the first arrow after setting nock to my height.beautiful quilted maple lams on limbs stained a dark honey.bamboo cores,cocobolo handle.this bow is insane.now i know why people are willing to wait 24-30 months on one of these......WOW.....   :thumbsup:      :notworthy:

That is a good looking bow and I know what ya mean about getting on the list. I have a Griffin that I bought from stock bows he had a few years ago. I actually thought about selling it until I took it out ans shot it again. Now I am debating calling Mr. McCullough up and seeing about getting on that list.
Would love to have a 60" full osage with bamboo core pulling about 55 at 30.

Something about these Griffins are just special.

Papa Bear

Aren't they nice!!!!  I just got mine this past April.  Sweetheart of a bow.  Mine is 60" 53@28 but around 55 @ my draw length.  Haven't chrono'd mine but it seems to launch a 678 gr arrow quite well.

Welcome to the Griffin Brotherhood!!!

They are something.My friend Al and I shot 3Ds Saturday morning and it was the first time he ever shot a full 30 round course with no misses.This was with a week old bow! Its more than a coincidence. Congradulations on yours, shes real nice.

Gorgeous bow Larry,

Yet another new bow?  I am gonna smoke you on the courses at the TBW Rondevous this weekend.    :goldtooth:   What was it we were wagering again?  I think I offered up a neck knife on my end. Are we shooting for total score over the weekend or just one day?  If one day which day?  For the scores to count Tricia will be running the scoring for us as we shoot together.  Oh and to be sure the fix is in I have been making sure she is extra happy for the last week +.

Larry,

Walmart isn't the problem your gonna have. I will just take you into the valley with the really grumpy 400 lb black bear I saw last year and let him deal with ya.  That will be a good test of your shooting with the new bow. Not sure what your betting on the scores this weekend  but I am sure I will enjoy having it when the whoopin is done.

Did you hear it?  I had to relieve the pressure a bit on the big can of Whoop A.. I am holding.  

So you decided to come up to bear river to elk hunt?  That will be fun.  Anderson maps in Vancouver has good USGS mnaps of the area.

Nice bow Larry.

Getting ready for the season?

I am down to 175lb from 200 last time you saw me.

It's on baby.
