Title: Re: Picts. of your Hunting Bows
Post by: Bowwild on February 18, 2011, 05:12:00 PM
TW and Ringneck,
I was going to ask if someone didn't cool looking bow!  Now that you mention "bighorn" it does look like a very high-end one!

Here's the bow I hunted with this past season. Killed a doe from this very perch. The bow quiver is a Mathews t5 Arrow Web and is hanging in the tree elsewhere.

This is "The Stick" by Tim Strickland. Metal riser, 48# @26". Arrow is Beman MFX Classic 600 (415 grains). Broadhead is single bevel Helix.

I think a Ferrari with a good set of mud tires would do just fine, till she got "high centered".

I don't, and won't own a bow that I'm not gonna hunt with. I bought a pair of "limbskins" and pulled 'em over her limbs. She's none the worse for wear, and now has one white-tail to her credit.

I've got an Elite VL coming the first of June with two sets of limbs and I'm sure that it will be just as pretty. It'll be in the same woods this fall.......doin' what Norm builds 'em to do.

Full Disclosure: This bow has never been hunted. I am on day 3 of a 10-day Test Drive of this Robertson Fatal Styk. It is LH, 60", and 55#@28". It is a fraction over 49#@my26" draw. Bolivian Rosewood and Ebony (Macassar I suppose with the faint brown streaks in it). Bocote limb veneers. The limb tips are sharp enough to fend off a Grizzly!  This is the LH Fatal Styk on Robertson's "in stock" web page.

This bow is extremely quiet and smashes the target hard. The grip is terrific and I'm trying to get used to the appearance of a less massive riser.

That's a Big Jim strap on bowquiver attached to it. Great quiver by the way, I like it better than ALL the other popular brands I own.

I'm thinking the bow exhibits extreme prejudice against a gobbler's noisy head!?

Ron,

That Robertson is a nice looking bow. I'm gonna have to shoot one of those as soon as I get the chance. The grip sure looks friendly and I like the wood combination, it's one of my favorites too.

Thanks Winterhawk.
The grip on the Robertson really does fit my hand well. That's the only reason I have my Tall Tines listed for sale.

Thanks,
Ron

I hope you'll forgive my placing the Predator hat on the floor to protect the limbs of this Robertson!? I'd do the same for the Predator.
OMG! I can't believe you did that! The only way I can forgive your treatment of that hat is if you send it to me and let me wear it forever!   ;)
Then it will get treated with the utmost respect.

All kidding aside, beautiful bow you got there for sure.    :thumbsup:
