My will power to stop buying bows had a break down this past week. :rolleyes: You guys know about the sickness, so I will not go on about it! I'm pretty much a recurve type of personality. But still have a weakness for longbows. This bow made a few second apperance on our site. And I was the fastest on the draw :D It arrived yesterday in the mail. I had it freed from the clutches of its box in seconds. With a quick over inspection, and strung. Off to the backstop we went, shot it 40 to 50 times during the afternoon. This morning I took it to the downstairs range and shot a few. I think we can make some venison backstraps this fall with it. Least we are going to try our best!

It is a ACS 60" 1PC 51 Lbs @ 28"
Never thought I'd get my hands on one of O.L.'s 1 PC bows :saywhat:
Sweet shooter!
Brent
Very nice!!!
Your sickness paid off.
Good luck
Very nice Brent.
Nice, Brent! :thumbsup:
keep pushing your luck, you're doing good :)
Thanks guys, And Alex I do need the exercise!
Brent
Nothing wrong with a sickness that is not terminal. As a matter of fact, many sicknesses help build immunities. Your (our) sickness will help keep us immune from that nasty compound virus.
A real sweet bow for sure!!
Tim
wow that bow is gorgeous
No cure for this, just a treatment...more bows or more shooting or both! It's a condition you will just have to live with.
Brent, that's one nice bow. Looks like you are liking it already. :thumbsup:
"Your (our) sickness will help keep us immune from that nasty compound virus"
I think I'm starting to recover from that virus and feel the sickness coming on. :D
Very nice Brent. I was just thinking I should cruise up and visit you some day before deer season gets into full swing.
Tim I don't need much of a excuse, to disapper into the basement range. Especially if you show up!!!
I'm going to have to do something about my sickness\\obsession. Maybe like built a bigger bow rack??? :D Or heaven forbid sell one or some? :eek: I am much better at buying than selling :saywhat:
Brent
Dang it... That desease is contageous.. I was discussing the Bob Lee Dark Archer with the wife the other nite.. Now ya got me thinkin about an Adcock.. There are just too many beautiful bows these days..
That Adcock looks good..
Brent I hear you buddy I have the weakness for nice bows. Yesterday I just bought a Morrison Cheyenne and a Shrew Samurai!! I thought I might have to retreat to Allegan for a place to stay after I got home!!
I'd make room for a brother of the bow. Tim
Although I don't want to contribute to your, wife doing that!!! :eek:
Brent
No worries Brent I think I am in the clear. The beating wasnt to severe!!
Just a word of wisdom, and experience. They have total grievance recall. The water that went under the bridge today. Can and will recircleulate. With higher flood waters tomorrow :eek:
Your always welcome to come over and shoot in the yard. Tonight is good :D Only 6 miles south of Allegan!
Brent
My wifes Mom lives in Allegan off from on 38th between 112th and 111th so I dont think that is to far from you. Might have to see if we can get together and do some shooting. I will have to talk to her and see what we have going tonight.
Alright we don't even need a excuse anymore!! Moms a neighbor!! Little north but not by much!! Now if it quits raining and the miss's needs to bond with mom!!
Brent
geez brent how many bows do ya have now???
got some nice ones on the rack at your shop
does your wife know about all of them there??
lol
Brent, when you get ready to sell that Blacktail, I want to be first on the list!
Allen I will keep you in mind should that day ever arrive. Norms bow's just may be priceless. Not just my opinion, look for a nice in your groove and a used one. It can be done, but will be a chore and his wait will seem very short!
I have others that I really appriecate also, his really stands out to me. But there is that weakness I have, you fill in the blanks only for you!!!!
The quest has been for me, a longbow. I could pickup and shoot, like my Blacktail, Black Widow PGA, or Hoyt Gamemaster. And shoot it, at my level (not real high by the way). And not miss a beat. Been a tough chore, but today after shooting this one. It just may be the punched tag!
Then again, my friend Larry Hanify who make's the new ACS 3 pc's. Has came up with a riser, at least in RH so far!!!!!!!!! ( Oh yeah I'm on him for a change in that!!)
That I like even though in RH only so far!!(He's gonna hate me for that!) One I may not be able to live without. A longer higher wrist riser, that I'm parcel to.
:thumbsup: Brent
Hey Tims on his way over to cast a few!!! :campfire:
Hey Rob
YUP
Those are not issue's, but I have others :saywhat:
Brent
:p :p :p :thumbsup:
Hormoan- I own one of those fine 1 piece bows. Let me warn you , after shooting it, you might not ever pick up one of your other bows! Mine was the first bow that shot "exactly where I was looking". 55yrs of buying bows, and finally THE BOW! Biff
LOL... The Bow Buying is Contagious. Congrats Brent. :bigsmyl:
Very nice, congrats on the find and a lefty!!! Awesome! :clapper: I wish you the best with it,.......if however you seek to part with it in the future, pleeesee :pray: let me know.
The rain's stopped last night, and Tim made it over. We had a great night shooting in the yard together. It is so nice to have someone to shoot with, and talks the talk of traditional archery with also :knothead: Bonehead me did'nt get the camera out. Guess we where having to much fun!
Brent
I had a great time shooting with you Brent. We will have to do it again real soon. I must have more luck when I am at your house (I am sure you know what I mean) :readit: :readit: :D :D :biglaugh:
I was a great evening shoot with you also! And super your timing was right on, to talk with Joe (osagetree)! Just give me a ring, when the miss's wants to visit her mom. With that new baby due along so soon. I'm sure that will be happening more and more.
Lets clear one thing up though, ya did'nt get lucky with me :readit: :eek:
Ya got lucky (while) with me!!!! :D
Brent
