Title: I have the best girlfriend ever!
Post by: wbyrd on October 07, 2010, 12:23:00 AM
So my girlfriend conspired with my Dad to get me this bow for our first anniversary. She knew I wanted this bow and saw how upset I was when I didn't have the high bid on the auction site. Her and my Dad did a great job of keeping it a secret until today. I absolutely love the colors and I must say this is one of the finest looking used bows I've seen. The original owner did a very nice job of caring for it.

Here we go, Bear Kodiak Hunter 60" 40@28:

I had a K-Mag that color, one of the best looking bows I've ever had.
Yup, she's the best.

That is a beautiful bow. It wasn't quite as simple as he makes it sound and he did throw a couple of rocks in the road, but we made it happen. There aren't many things in life more gratifying than helping to bring joy to a loved one.

I found the left hand mate to that bow.  They not only look good they shoot pretty good too. She either loves you or is trying to get you out of the house to go shooting.

Nice bow!  You have to love that she bought that for you.  My wife got me in to trad by conspiring with a friend and buying me a 1959 Grizzly for Christmas last year.
