Title: The "RAPTURE" is here, via the post office!
Post by: Izzy on May 21, 2011, 01:29:00 PM
It came to me this morning from Michigan!!! . I knew it was coming 38 months ago but no one believed the time would come. it wasnt that bad Ive had other candidates to pass the time withand hadnt put up a deposit.  Its spalted maple and black phenolic and thats all I can tell ya now. I put the "2" pieces together in a mad rush and shot it 3 times before I had to get back to work. Shot really well, 1st 3 shots touching at 13 yards. Pics to come after little league game.   :knothead:    :knothead:    :knothead:

Don't worry fella, from what I hear only the pious will be leaving this earth and us heathens will get to keep their bows and such. Still at the game will post pics when I get home.

Here it is. Griffin takedown. 47# @28" 60". I waited a long time for this and I have a feeling it will be worth it.         (http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o244/2crazyboys_photos/DSCN2192-1.jpg)        (http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o244/2crazyboys_photos/DSCN2193.jpg)      (http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o244/2crazyboys_photos/DSCN2196.jpg)    (http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o244/2crazyboys_photos/DSCN2195.jpg)   (http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o244/2crazyboys_photos/DSCN2202-1.jpg)

The disco zebra rest has got to go but other than that I think shes classy looking in an understated manner. The mass weight of the phenolic riser is something that Ive come to love after shooting my Shrew. Hoping to make some memories with her real soon. Thanks for looking.

Izzy,
 That rest just took me back to that song with John Travota in his disco suit ...Nice looking bow now you just need a disco string for it...  :thumbsup:
Title: Re: The "RAPTURE" is here, via the post office!
Post by: kwc on May 22, 2011, 07:39:00 AM
i dont think we can let you use it to bounce arrows off. rocks at the muzzy it would be to distracting to the other compeditors with that disco rest. also i think that other boy you wont be shooting know should go to a good cause. nice bow see you soon

Carlton,,, would you believe a minute after we left you in South Carolina I checked my voicemails and the 1st one was John McCullough! " Izzy, Hope Your Doing Well With The Pigs I Got A Bow For You So Call Me Back." Called him back and got this new stick. Remember I told you I may ask for spalted maple to match my manly knife? Shawn, let me know when you wanna kill some stumps or 3ds. How you feeling?

Post by: Izzy on May 23, 2011, 06:36:00 PM
Mikey, Ive named her "Shakira" cause she fine, blonde and has a dark side. Oh, and because I get light headed every time I put my grubby hands on her. The bow I mean. As of this time I havent put them on the artist Shakira. Yeah, I called her an artist.   :saywhat:

Izzy,  I thought 5-0 was the bow to end all bows?

Cant say I blame you for picking this one up though.
