Title: My sons first new Legends BOW is in!!
Post by: Swiper on February 28, 2011, 09:00:00 PM
Ordered a custom a youth recurve bow from
"Legends Bows" for my 10year old boy. Mr. Mike Rash was a pleasure to deal with and had a remarkably fast turn around time with the bow.

It was ordered at 35lbs@25inch which would put it at 42lbs@28inches. This is a bow he can grow into and shoot for the rest of his life. Here are the pics of a very happy and surprised son!!

As Mike Rash was building the bow he was sending me some pics of the progress which was very exciting.

Thanks for sharing, another example of Mike Rash's excellent bows and Customer Service. Hey Tradgangers if you have not tried one of Mikes bows you should -- give him a call you will be glad you did, I know I was. Take care Jerry.

Haha, love that smile. Now try and keep him in arrows and remember when you find one sticking in your roof it was not his fault the squirrel was too high in the tree.

I was just talking to Mike about this on Sunday. It really does make him happy to spread the archery bug to a guy, especially a young guy.

Congratz on the new bow you'll get a life time of enjoyment from it. And dad, WAY TO GO!!!!!!

I know times are really tuff out there for everyone. But working all these extra hours just to see my boys face when he got that bow was priceless. He will never forget it. We are now starting to bulks our own wooden arrows. Thanks for all of the comments.
