Title: Faith comes home
Post by: pdk25 on November 19, 2011, 05:27:00 PM
After a short stay in Alabama, Faith is back in Oklahoma. This is last years lh bow from the St. Jude's auction, a LHA hyestani. I was lucky enough to do a little killing with this bow, including my first javalina, and this bow has some nice memories for me. I was able to talk Boyd Staley into giving her up, and she arrived back home 2 days ago. Juat in time, too. Turns out that I broke a few ribs in an accident last sunday, so I needed somwthing lighter to shoot anyway.

Her specs are 62" long, 48#@28", paduak and leopardwood riser with sapele veneers and bamboo lams.

Here are some pics for those that forgot.

Here is the the kill pic and pics of the skull from the javalina Faith took last winter in texas.  The raccoons had stole the skull, then my wife found it again while cutting brush with the tractor. Maybe I'll get it cleaned up for Christmas.
