After many months of searching I finlly found a used Fedora 560 in my desired poundage. It currently sits at the post office waiting to be picked up following failed delivery attempt while I was in hospital. I still need limbsaver bow stringer and new arrows as well. I was in the hospital all last week and have a long list of things to do today but picking up the bow has to be included, even if I don't get to shoot it today.
I know it was not that long, but it sure seems like it took long time to get here.
Funny how a new bow and patience seem to be at odds.
I hear ya and so do a lot of us. I just ordered some new limbs for my Stewart and Leon said "3-4 months"!! Gah, I can't handle it! Haha, and that's a relatively short time for a custom bowyer, I mean some like Toelke will have artwork for you in 6 weeks but some bowyers can take a year! It's painful and not good for the wallet. I just want my limbs but I already got caught buying another used bow just to have something new to try while I wait, heehee.
Same boat here.
Waiting for a new Dwyer Dauntless. My name was supposed to come up "about May" and still waiting... patiently... waiting.
You will not be sorry waiting for that Dwyer, they are one of the best.
Hope you enjoy your bow. I have wanted a Schafer for about 24 yes. I finally bought one from the classifieds Saturday & should have it Wednesday . It sure beats the wait time for a new one. I can't wait to get it ! Only two more days. :)
I picked it up and went to Bowhunters SuperStore and picked up a bow stringer but they were out of XX75 1916 shafts. Looks like I will have to expand my search for arrows.
Bad news.... the bow had a flemish twist string on it and the brace was pretty low. Being close, I took it to Mike Fedora for a new string. In doing so we discovered that the top limb was twisted slightly. Fortunately he can correct that but I really didn't count on spending an extra $50 on bow that I have yet to even shoot. And I still have to get the $20 new string.
That stinks! I am sure that the seller did not know this but still frustrating for me. My own fault for not checking the bow as soon as I got it.
Maybe I should pass round the coffee can for donation to "Fix my twisted limb" fund..... :dunno:
Mike wants to charge you $50 dollars to fix a twisted limb?
Yep.
You would hope that would be under warranty.
I am the third owner. I know it will be worth it though.
