Guys if the expression "Happier than a puppy with 2 peters" was ever meant for a certain occassion it would be 2 thumbs pointing back at me. You know the high expetations we have over the months waiting on our new dream bow what she gonna look like? Will he get the handle right? Will I shoot it good? Well let me say yes to all of them.
I had put some hard expetations on Brian on what i wanted, with the handle being the most critical...I mean here was the poor guys parameters I gave him to work with, here's a handle I like, I want it like this but smaller and different here, well you know. Brian just replied "I know what you want" and boy did he hit the nail on the head.
I went with a 64" model and so glad I did this thing pulls like butter and so stable I could right a 2 page essay on everything I like about this bow but I'm gonna let my buddy Steve O post some pics I took and let them show for themselves.
Making a living in the waterfowl industry we live by everything we own being camo, and my bow was to be no exception...when i asked brian if he could do it he said "I have just the camo for you, and it will look great with the bacote riser". Like i said I'll let the pictures speak for themselves, and hopefully in another week I will be tipping the toenails of a Bison with her.
Now I promised Brian that we will do a goose hunt this fall with our Trad gear, standing corn over wheat stubble...They'll call us bowhunters of the corn!!!!
God Bless
George
Brotherhood is not a product you buy, but a way of life.
Glad you like it!
I've got the same questions going thru my head as you did...gave the bowyer the same type of "problems" too.
Different bowyer but still asking the same types of things.
Looking forward to seeing pics.
Glad to hear George, Brian makes a great bow.
Hey George; What if they call you just" Corny Bowhunters"? LOL.
Sergio
Glad you are one happy puppy. I too had simlar demands for Brian on my new longbow I just ordered. There is no doubt in my mind he will meet my expectations as well.
Your going to love waterfowling with a longbow. Some of my best memories are goose and duck hunting with my old Howard Hill bow.
I'm looking forward to the pictures.
Hey Sergio, I've been called worse...but I'm all ears!!!!!
George's bow made me order a 64" TallTines for my next one!
Most beautiful piece of Bocote I have ever seen, and I thought I had that one wrapped up!

Mike
I sent you some pics on your email, and I hope youare as happy with your long bow as I am with my curve.

Steve,you are damn right about that Bocote!
Beautiful. I love a classy piece of wood. I have not received any pics in the email yet though. Jus admiring the ones Steve posted for you. Brian outdid himself on this one.
I agree with Steve, most stunning piece of Bocote I've ever seen!!! Your a lucky man George, congrats!!!
!!!WOW!!!
:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:
I have a bocote bow on the way...but I don't think it'll be quite that nice of a piece of wood....but I've been surprised before....
That's beautiful!
Wow !!!!
Glad it all came together like you wanted.
Nice looking bow,
Brian gets some exceptional wood. It helps that he has an eye for what the wood is going to turn into.
good golly miss bocote !!!!
that is one gorgeous piece of bocote. im envious.......
That is sweet, and the camo looks great on the limbs.
Beauty!

That right there is the whole key to a functional piece of art.
Brian does indeed build some beautiful bows, and they shoot just as good as they look.
Congrats :clapper:

Thanks Steve O
George, I still think you are going to need to order a "working" bow with a Phenolic riser and some stunning limbs that will go with Bocote :saywhat: so you can mix and match.
Looking forward to spending some time with you and Buck the Chessie :thumbsup:

She is a real Beauty, Congrats!!!
That is real nice! Congrats!
Very...Very....Very....Nice!
Awesome bro!!
George, The geese will be turning their necks back and looking down at that beautiful riser as they glide over - just before your arrow pierces their heart! Mike
Man thats sharp!
Thanks Ed...Hey Ed how's the goose hunting in PA?
Mike, we will get some incredible footage, hope you can make it. There's nothing like the sound of those wings backflapping in front of you and the sound of a woodsman as it punches through.

George,
I'm glad I talked with you today, and as a result found these pictures...
I spoke with Brian a few days back about re-contouring my grip and having it checkered... Do you mind if I just say... "Please Duplicate George's" :thumbsup: but I do like that one ;)
Gene
That is one nice piece of Bacote, the nicest I've seen.
Good luck.
My mind is made up what I'm getting next!
Yo, George...did you get the Marsh info I sent you and when is the buffalo brisket lunch???
Beautiful! Love a dark bow. That camo is really unique.
:thumbsup: :thumbsup: That's a beauty
Steve O
Got your email Bud, appreciate it....buffalo brisket is on, let me know when you want to come down.
Got some new dog cam footgage on our goose hunt we just did in upper st new york...also i need to get a couple special hedge calls to you we are doing for the pbs banquet that my good buddy gene carrol ask to do. It is my pleasure!
Tall Tines is shooting incredible...very easy to tune, shooting fmj 400 with a 175 grn tip...flawless but super quiet.
I just want to thank Brian again for making the perfect bow fo me.
Hopefully in a couple weeks it will be out there doing gobblers are us!!!
Hang'em Low
George

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: SWEET! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Ha! Vines rolls into the South last night as a carrier of this "Tall Tines Spotted Fever" disease. Not sure if I've got much of an immune system to battle it off since my folk haven't been exposed to much of that yet... :scared:
It is very catchy...all I have to do is send you one for a week :D . I have all shapes and sizes for you buddy.
I spoke with George earlier today and it seems the TT has taken on #1 status in herd with swift authority!
