Title: My First Bow
Post by: Danel on June 11, 2007, 10:08:00 PM

I finished my first bow this weekend at Cloverdale. It is one of Gary Davis's Rattlestick bows so I can only take partial credit.  Gary does a great job teaching.  I started with floor tilering on Friday AM and shot the course on Sunday AM.   I was able to hit the foam about 85% of the time with my new bow.  That's better than it do sometimes with some of my fiberglass bows.

This is my first attempt at sending picture.

Excellent!

Gary is so cool...and generous.  When he found out that the kid's bow makers were out of leather, he gave us a whole bag of it  :)   Great guy!

Thanks guys.  It shoots alot better than I expected.  It might be the bow I hunt with this fall.
