Bill,
I dare ya to bring that bow down to Salsbury area this weekend for the Bunnie Stump... :biglaugh:
It is absolutely beautiful! Now would you please give an honest appraisal of how it shoots? Very interested to hear if it performs as well as it looks.
Very Nice!
fudd-
I will give an honest opinion. No pre=planning to build them up, nor knock them. I will truley let you know how I feel. Just remember that because 1 person can or cannot shoot a bow well does not mean others will have the same experience.
My plan is to shoot it Saturday.
holy cow she is a looker
Nice bow!!! Congrats
Very nice. Love the site window.
Whats the riser wood?

Riser wood is Cocobolo. Site window is Birds Eye maple.
Beautiful Bow..!!...I think your going to be real happy with the way it shoots.
Just beautiful and almost too pretty to hunt with but that's what it's for.
WOW, and that's all I have to say about that!
Why do you gotta go and do that. It aint fair showing me a picture of that beauty. Just makes me sick. Sick cause I want one!
simply stunning!
I MUST STOP LOOKING at this bow!!!! :readit:
(Actually my wallet talking to me)
Thanks for posting. I did not know about there web site. I am like you, I like the 59 hybred! I got married in 1959 52 years ago and still married to the same gal. I bought a Bear the next year but don't remember what model? Ken

Well Fudd wanted a shooting report. Here we go.
Took the bow out back to day to my practice butts and stood at my 18 yard mark. Look at the bow - stunning. Feel the grip. Good - not perfect. For those of you that are familiar with Bear Rubber mag grips - I am a #2 guy. This grip feels like a #1. The shelf is a little closer to my hand than I like and the grip makes my wrist feel a little uncomfortable.
I have been shooting my classic Kodiaks alot lately due to the great weather we are having. I raise the bow and shot at my target like I have been doing with my other bows. First reaction - Damn that was fast! but the arrow was WAY too high - left right was perfect. Second arrow - same spot, way too high. Then it hits me. This is a fast flite bow with a fast flite string. This arrow is flying. It has way more speed than all the bows I am used to shooting. In my hold I am compensating for a drop thats just not there. Hold lower - 3rd 4th and 5th arrows within 3 inches of each other in the center of the target from 18 yards. This bow is awesome. Fast, quiet,and accurate. It says 48 pounds but it pulls back like 40. I put in on my scale and it is 48 1/2 at 28. Dont think I have ever shot a bow that pulls back this smooth but deliver s an arrow so fast. But - with that being said - fast flite is sort of new to me.
The grip thing is strange. It doesn't exactly feel comfortable but I think it forces my wrist into a position that is better for shooting - does that make any sense?
I love the bow. I think I am going to get back on his list again. I havce never shot my 52"AMO Kodiak Magnums well. This bow is 60" and it's a little tough to shoot aa 60" AMO bow out of my climbing tree stand. I noticed Vintage Works makes a 56 inch and a 58 inch. I am considering ordering one of those in hopes that it shoots as nicely as this one does, and it will be more tree stand friendly.
Thanks for making me aware of Vintage Works. A box will show up at my house next year :goldtooth:
Thanks migra bill for the shooting report. That is as honest an appraisal as anybody could ask for. I will have to check into one :thumbsup: thanks again!
Sa-weeeeettt!!!! :)
