Title: Something Old Something New Tall Tines
Post by: varmint101 on April 01, 2012, 03:45:00 PM
A while back I had tried to sell my beloved Tall Tines because I wanted a slightly lighter poundage bow.  What I really wanted was to sell it so I could buy a new TT, but the bow market stinks these days and it worked to my advantage in the end.

I contacted Brian Wessel and realized it was within my means to have my current Tall Tines reduced.  I've said it before and I'll say it again that Wessel does a heck of a job!  He was able to shave it down to 50@28 from 51@27.  I should be pulling about 53lbs give or take.  Smoooooth!  He even refinished it all.  It looks BEAUTIFUL!  I also sprung for the antler limb bolts(which I highly suggest). REAL antler!  The new finish is outstanding. Better than the first I think. Everything is awesome!

60" 50@28 Gray dymondwood rise w/ bocote stripe, Bocote limb veneers, antler tips, antler bolts!

And dressed up in the house.  I've gotta have my bow quiver!  Yes, that's a pink Big Jim 5575 blem on the top.  At 31" fly like a dart with 175gr Simmons Tiger Sharks.  Come on turkey!
