I got the call at the beginning of the week that Dan would be shipping my new Whip and it should be here for the weekend. We had a traditional shoot scheduled for the entire weekend, but due to storms being forecasted for the entire weekend and some graduations taking priority, we wouldn't be able to camp. But Friday was gorgeous and just like Dan promised, Friday afternoon a nice long tube was delivered to me at work so I didn't have to chase down the postman for a signature :thumbsup:

So sit back, relax, and get ready for some photos of some of the finest cocobolo, bocote, and beavertail you have ever laid your eyes on! I threw on my SBD string off another 60" bow and this thing is dead quiet. She is 60", 48#@28". Enjoy.

First, some inside photos from the office!!! Couldn't wait to get home :dunno:

Now, some Outdoor Photos.....

I am still waiting to get some serious shooting done with her, but at 7 yards in the basement I was rattling shafts pretty regularly. And this thing shoots with Authority. My arrows are right at 530 grains and they are hitting HARD in the puff bag. Hope you all enjoy Dan's handiwork! Like it has been said many times, he is certainly a master at his trade. Excellent quality and customer service.

Thanks guys, this is my first Whip. Still getting things dialed in but the more I shoot her the more I am really digging this bow. And it is certainly a piece of eye candy for sure. The dark mexican coco is just gorgeous. Sorry our weekend didn't work out Bryan, I too was looking forward to a nice weekend of shooting. We will get together so you can giver her a whirl soon! Until then, I will keep her company:O)
