Nothing except I have to wait until tomorrow to shoot it.

Its a new to me Big River Longbow.  68"  47@28  Black phenolic riser bamboo limbs. 4 inches longer than my go to bow and 2 lbs heavier.

I have an almost matching knife too.

I'd put a block target at the end of the hall and shoot it now.

Wow!

I used to prefer more wood but that is a SHARP looking bow.

It must be smooth and quiet too!

I have two bamboo limb bows and they are my favorites. I think that you made a great choice with that combination.

I will start with the same arrows I use for my 45lb bow. Wood, I have both cedar and Doug Fir.  50-55 and 55-6 spined arrows.

Never shot one yet I didn't  like.  The leap of faith when I decided to buy it wasn't very big.

It was your bow which inspired the owner of this bow to have it built.

I prefer pretty wood bows too but the price was right for a practically new bow.  I figured this way I can shoot it instead of look at it.

Charlie,  that is a beauty 4sho!!  I can't get enough of My Big Rivers, always seem to be wanting another and another. I think you might have that lil problem also.  I bet she is very smooth at 68 inches.

The only thing I see wrong with it is that it is about 130 miles south east of my bow rack!

Charlie just borrowed a pop-up blind from a friend and I'm going to set it up and start shooting in preperation for Kansas in April. I'm taking the black Big River bow for some Rios.

Good Luck Earl.

When you come up to NY, bring it up and the twins may be reunited.

Make sure you take pics and bring back stories from Kansas.
