Well I picked up a LAG off the classifieds a few weeks ago from "weezy". A few days later I sent it to Nixa to have the old "web" finish removed and a nice Frost finish put on.
When I opened it up yesterday it was as exciting as getting a brand new one. The guys did an outstanding job, I'm thrilled with it. 62" 53@28.

Turkeys beware!

Eric.

That's pretty Erick... but it suprised me...lol it's not a Mohawk...lol

I know we can all shoot different kinds and styles of bows and love all of them we shoot.

I was just saying thanks for sharing but yanking on your chain in the process.

How cool is this? Way!! I'm saying....

God bless,Mudd

PS: I think you were dealing with a pretty good person as well.

Mudd, LOL. When I was posting this I figured some would be "shocked" that it was not a 'hawk ;)

And yes Bob was great to deal with, as a matter of fact I was briefly tempted by the Fox Breed had for sale yesterday. Fortunately it sold before I had to cross the river and grab it :)

I have an old LBS that has the same grip as the LAG. I recently took the Sure grip off it and like it even better thinned down that way.

IMO it's a better grip than my new PLX, but I'm starting to adapt. LOL

Thanks all. I've wanted a Widow since I first shot one about 26 years ago and this one just kinda called out to me. I still consider myself a "Mohawk Guy" though. As a matter of fact
Rob D. sent me one of his short take downs to try out so I'm cooking up some ideas for a new Mohawk towards the end of the year maybe.
