Title: You gotta see it First of its kind!!!! (Pics)
Post by: chopx2 on September 03, 2010, 10:42:00 PM
Ok, I have to tell you about this bow. It is the very first production bow of this 'traditional handle' style that Duane Jessop of Thunderhorn has ever made.

Let me tell you she is PHAT!

She smokes arrows and is beautiful...the whole package! duane hope you didn't want this to be a secret!

I chronógraphed her and she is shooting just as fast as some other bows of heavier weight and one of those had a SBD string and carbon core further upping the anti!

She has Myrtle veneers, cocobolo riser, and locust lams. No doubt a femme fatale!

Besides her performance, I love the idea of owning the 1st production bow.

I can't decide if I should hunt with her or keep her over the mantle

Hunt with it...go after something you haven't killed before so you can have two #1's!  Nice looking bow.
