Title: Picked up new bow
Post by: Dean Lintz on April 30, 2011, 09:18:00 PM
Went today and picked up my new St. Joe River bow. It is a 64" recurve 50# at 31". Grey and Black action wood riser with Yew limbs stained grey and black, smooth antler tips.

Congrats on the bow.

SJR bows are really getting a following, and for good reason.

That one is a beauty!

I can`t help but think that sometimes when you build a bow for someone, it`s hard to let them go.

Some bows just put forth a "feeling"...and this bow is one of them.  :campfire:

The pictures don't show the antler tip is smooth it has grey and white two tone effect.

Dean, that is one fine looking recurve. I have a new 56", 45# @ 28" St Joe River recurve. It is not only a "looker" but also a "shooter." Dave and Tracey make great bows. I wish I was smart enough to post photos of my St. Joe River bow.
