My Dad has shot traditional archery before traditional archery was cool (or traditional archery for that matter). In fact him selling a bow 4 years ago allowed me to step into the traditional world. Dad had always shot bows in the 63lb range, I talked him into selling a bow and ordering a lighter weight bow. I ended up keeping that lighter weight bow and he ordered its twin brother (it since is back in his bow rack).
Dad comes up and helps Mindy out a ton especially during the busy times. He always tells us he is just a phone call away (or text, lord help us with his texting. I wanted to do something really nice for him for all the help he provides.
Christmas is just a few days away and its like I am 8 years old again. Since dad thinks Tradgang is some suburban off shoot of the Crips I think I am safe in posting a few pictures of his Christmas present.
Here are the crucial details.
Black Widow PMA
50lbs @ 28
Bocote with Osage accents
Osage Limb Cores
Osage overlays
I had Dads grand kids names engraved in the limb.
I think he will be very surprised, I think.......

Thats one heck of a gift for dad! Your the man!
That is a good looking bow!!!! He will be beside himself with all of the thought you put into to that bow!!
:thumbsup:
My Bocote PSAX don't look like that! I love the grain pattern.....that actually looks like Ziricote or Dalmatian myrtle. How did you specify that pattern of Bocote?
I wanna order a PLX like that pattern of Bocote.....

I am kind of spoiled. Black Widow is 10 minutes one direction and their wood supplier moved his shop 20 minutes in the other direction. I ask the kind gentleman at Black Widow to get some really unusual stuff in and I went and picked out the laminations.
That is one nice present coming to DAD! Nice job. :clapper:
You do your dad proud. Good job, young man.

That is the nicest widow I've seen. It's better looking than mine and now I want a new one. Your dad's gonna love that bow.
I am sure that will become his favorite bow. Not just for the looks, but for who gave it to him and having his grandkids names on it. He will love it!
