I have a Dale Dye on order that should be done this time next year if that counts. I also have the bid on one of the bows on the St Judes auction. There are some great bows on there that going way to cheap.

Norm Johnson called me this past week and I should have my Elite VL with two sets of limbs sometime before the end of June.

Ya know.........I'm pretty good on the "waiting game" up until I know the bow is being put together........then that last little bit of time really kills me. :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

Post by: Philthy on May 28, 2011, 08:02:00 PM

First I picked up a Great Northern Bushbow 60#@28" w/Diamondback skin. Been missing the one I sold years ago even though it was too heavy for me.
Next I needed primary and backup takedowns for an upcoming Colorado Elk Trip so it was:
60# Brackenbury(traded custom Damascus plus $)
59# Jeffery at the Baltimore shoot for a steal
and I broke down and bought a Hummingbird Kingfisher with 53# and 58# limbs at the same shoot.
I think I am past done for the year.

At Kalamazoo, I picked up my oldest son a St. Joe River Longbow, 36# @ 24" It is a real beauty.

I have a new set of limbs for my RER LXR on order, and I know Sue and Kevin are getting tired of my emails, but after this last one, I promised them I would leave them alone until I hear when to send the check. I hate playing the waiting game, but it is just part of the whole process.

Bought the Samick Deermaster this year. Unreal, the bang-for-buck in this bow. It's quiet, fast and smooth. Hits where I'm looking. Couldn't ask for $200 better spent.

I'm thinking my Martin Hunter will stay on the shelf this year.

Post by: Bowwild on May 30, 2011, 03:57:00 PM

Some of my bow traffic so far this year is pictured below.

I am the most pleased with the Silvertip because the specifications are 100% my choices.

I sold TT, Checkmate, Green Stripes, and Bear Limbs. I traded a Blacktail Elite for the PCHX.

The Widows are extremely great feeling and SOLID shooters.

The Chastain was an experiement -- The brand and the camo dipping.

I also picked up Bear A and B Mag bows this past January/February.

I shot the Tip, PCHX, Bear TD, and "The Stick" today -- so far.

I have only two bows on order right now; Snakebit due in July or August and a Habu due in 20 months that will likely be replaced by a Tradganger's Habu I'm contemplating hard.

My Bear TD A riser also arrived a few weeks ago. I bought an inventory Fatal Styk from Robertson also.

By Tradganger -- Widow PCHX Myrtle -- RW's Bear
(http://i956.photobucket.com/albums/ae50/bowwild/PCHXMyrtlebyRW.jpg)

By Tradganger -- Chastain Wapiti (Predator)

Smooth shooter as well! Felt like I was hitting everything today :D
Though my arrows are a bit heavy, i can still hit well up to 20' with it!
And no hunting season in Norway for archers, so this one's busting logs to compensate.
Easy done with RFA Talons and eFoc up front ;)

Shot LH compound last 15 years due to shoulder problem. Bought a RH 35# Martin Dreamcatcher 1st of year. Nice bow. Smooth. Sweet shooter. My best experience with Martin to date. Owned a Hunter recurve and ML-17 Longbow years ago and both were nice bows.

My shoulder held up. I prefer a straight limbed bow, and to hunt deer I decided to bump up weight and performance. After some shopping around and trying out various bows I now own a 40# 64" Fedora "Extreme".

The limbs are osage back and belly with a yew and bamboo core. The osage in the limbs and handle continue to darken. I bought it for how she shoots and handles. It doesn't hurt that her looks improve with age. It's a shame she can't cook. Color me happy.

I found a source of fantastic Bear Take-Downs, all lefties. I bought 3 of them in late winter. The Super Wildcat was a December bow so not this year. I wanted to share with Blackstick.

The Mags were interesting for me. You see I recalled the B Mag I owned back around 1970. I remembered that bow very fondly and wanted one again. Now that I have both the B and A Mag I realize while they are terrific bows, I don't prefer them over some of the customs available today. I was also surprised that Green Stripes (B Riser only)have too long of risers for my tastes. I much prefer A Risers with 60" limbs.

I've also "met" some very fine Trad Gangers and Bowyers while doing all this bow trading and a bit of buying.

Bear B Mag w/ Factory Camo
Note the factory-installed sight pin. "Of course" I ignored that pin--for a couple of weeks. Then one day I decided to see what using a sight would be like (I shot compounds from 1975-2009 with sights from 1981-2009). Uh, oh. I couldn't believe how much easier it was to shoot tight groups with that little ole pin, no peep, and just a glove. Easy isn't what I'm after but accuracy is a very high priority. I have to admit, it scared me a little. I put that bow up immediately for fear it would destroy my motivation to master sightless shooting. Reckon I have a little "Trad-Cop" in me?

Hi. A recurve, one-piece. It's made by a european bowyer from Serbia, Mojovic bows. The bow is called Sirin, riser section is made of african bubinga with mapplewood inlays. Limbs are laminated in mapplewood, cross carbon and transparent fiberglas. It is very accurate and smooth to pull, and pretty fast...I love it. Here's a video I did on this bow
