Now I'll hit the road to vacation :)
Very nice Manny!
:bigsmyl: she looks good, How does she shoot?
Very nice woods. Any pics of it braced?
I've seen that bow before...before you actually!!! ;)
Very nice Manny, so? how does it shoot??? that 8125 padded loop string is the stuff eh? very slick.
I've been shooting very well with SweetPea, Jim does make a handsome, shootable bow yes? :)
Have you ordered any hardwood shafts yet?? you will need them to go stumping with in Sept.

Nice F-Manny,good choices of wood also,we need more pics though,the specs and how it shoot....
Now you are ready to come up north with me and nailed the spruce grouses while I'll be looking for the moose :campfire: :archer: :clapper:
Serge
Dang Manny, that's too purty to shoot.
Dennis
:rolleyes: :rolleyes: Vacation,vacation,what about the specs :bigsmyl:
64" 56#'s @27" , I'm almost positive that is what it is Serge. :)
fine looking bow
Thanks Cary,he must be out there and will shoot till both his arms fall off :biglaugh: :biglaugh: :jumper:
I was out there shooting her like a mad man during my vacation :bigsmyl:
no email/internet access where I was, pictures will be posted tonight.
She is fast, smooth, a joy to shoot.
A tiny bit loud with 530grs cedars, but I am sure that a tuning session with Cary and everything will be back in order! ;)
F-Manny
you need heavier sticks Manny, they are too light, we'll get you set up with some 600 gr.+ hardwoods, that will quiet her down.

Any pics F-Manny :saywhat:
Here is a pic of Red Moon ;)

And we gotta dull that shine down a bit before deer season Manny.
Nice to see you back F-Manny,good shooting form too.Cary is right thought,you need to get rid of that shine :D :D :D .Fine young man Jonathan,now you need to visit Jim and order him a new bow also :bigsmyl:
Looks good Manny. You need to bring her down next time you visit. I have a whole bunch of new ones for you to try out. :bigsmyl:
Thank you All ;)
Cary :bigsmyl: can't wait to shoot the tapered ash!
Serge, Jonathan shoots a selfbow daddy made ;)
