I was shocked and super pleased when I opened my package from Rick Wiltshire at the P.O. this morning.
I knew I had traded for a Hill bow, even knew it was a Cheetah that was coming but I never expected for it to be one of my old favorites, Keeper Kat", who I originally got from you.
Here she is:

At a little over 13 yards

Another but at 20 plus yards

I'm very happy to get her back.
Someone reminded me of the verse in my signature the other day, that immediately came to mind and I gave thanks!
God bless,Mudd
It's nice when things come home again! Congrats on getting an old favorite back.
What's the spec's on that bow Roy?
Mudd, when bows start landing at your house for the second time, it's a sign you need to ease off the trading a bit! :bigsmyl:
Sweet lookin bow, and a heck of a back stop. You miss that and your in trouble! :D Jason
I can tell you it's been like a true blessing for me to get her back.
I had been sending out some e-mails and pm's to folks trying to track her down. I fully intended to see if I could get her home if I could find her.
The trade that brought her home was finalized at midnight on New years' eve. I was happy to just have made a trade and have it happen at the stroke of 12.
I had no idea that the bow coming was "Keeper Kat", in fact I was totally shocked when I pulled her out of the tube while standing in the P.O.
Tom, "Keeper Kat" is 66" and 56@28. I hope I can still keep pulling her weight for a long time yet.
Jeff, maybe your right, just a few more trades and I'll quit....lol
God bless,Mudd
Sounds like it was time for her to come back at the turn of the decade. Enjoy! I think it may bring some good mojo.
roy, are the limbs straight or reflexed?
Congrats on getting the bow back.It's nice to meet an old friend again.
Rob the limbs are straight as a string tip to tip.
She has a slight dished grip.
I really like how she feels and sounds in my bow hand when I drop the string.
Seems to hit pretty darn close to where I'm looking too!
God bless,Mudd
PS: now all I've got to do is keep Shawn's paws offen her...lol
Why do guys get rid of good bows? Glad you got her back.She's a looker.
so you can remember with little help :rolleyes:
I am happy for you Mudd :archer:
Well thumper I believe this thought might hold true for a great many things that we as people do. Ever notice when an ice storm hits or several inches of snow falls during the night how many people show up late to work or call off. Where I work at every person shows up and are even early. Why? We define ourselves through are miseries. The first person there gets to complain the most. So, man why did I sell that bow, wish I could find it. I would never do that again. Until next time. Just a thought.
Good for you...!!
I bet it's home to stay this time..??
:clapper:
I am glad to see you have "Keeper Kat" back. Always nice to get em back again.
Glad that it made it back to you. Maybe I should have dickered a little harder :bigsmyl:
I am enjoying the St. Charles.
Thats a sign you need to keep her!!!!!RC
The prodigal bow has returned! Congratulations!
good on you roy! :thumbsup:

Rick your plan could have added some pressure on me.. except for one thing.
Neither one of us knew we were dealing with "Keeper Kat"...lol
You could have knocked me over with a feather when I opened that tube in the Post Office..lol
I was absolutely floored!!
I did find out that my Post Master won't through you out for giving thanks to God in her lobby...lol
Thank you Rick, you are the whole reason 2011 started off as good as it did and it just keeps getting better.
Now if I could get my family life straightened out.
I sometimes wonder if God would suspend that "free will" thing for just a little while and make kids behave the way they're supposed to..lol
God bless,Mudd
Ain't it great when both guys are happy with their trade?
Amen!!!
They are behaving the way they are supposed to, Mudd. It's their job to push the envelope.
The trick is to get them to think they are "pushing" over the inconsequential stuff!
Congrats on the return of an old friend! I had to sell off a few of mine last year to finance my sons adoption. Maybe someday I'll be as lucky and able to get my Tembo, Pete George, and Shultz Favorite back in the stable to stay! Hope you continue to enjoy it for many years Mudd!
Spanky
Jeff, I'd settle for this part..."The trick is to get them to think..." lol
God bless,Mudd
I like it!
Congrats, Mudd. I am glad it found its way home!!
