Title: I have to show off new Pronghorn
Post by: Shedrock on July 23, 2011, 12:13:00 AM

I just picked her up today from Herb. I was amazed at how beautiful this bow turned out. I wanted to try a foam core Pronghorn. I have heard all good about them, and love Pronghorns anyway, so I ordered her a few months ago. I thought green glass limbs with a Dymongwood riser would look good with the color of the foam, and wow! What a gorgeous bow Herb built me. She is 58", and 52@28. This is a sweet, smooth bow, and I hope to fill my antelope tag with it in a few weeks.

I may skin it with prairie rattler in the future like WaryBuck did on his "Green Machine". That looks sweet!

That Green is beautiful. Green glass is a favourite of mine and the riser on your bow is super complimentary. Well done!

Tracy--
I LOVE your bow.  It would be hard to put skins on it right away.  The green color of your limbs is a different (and better IMO) shade than mine was originally.  Either way, it is one BEAUTIFUL bow and it has a cousin sitting here in your old hometown back in Nebraska.  Herb makes fantastic bows, doesn't he?

I hope you don't mind me posting a picture of my green Pronghorn here, with the skins that I just put on it, from our NBA Jamboree at Halsey Forest a week ago.  By the way, Shedrock (Tracy) got me my snakeskins!
