Title: I got my bow! Pics on page 2!!!
Post by: shirikahn on November 01, 2013, 11:08:00 AM
As any of you that have been on the Z Giveaways know...I won a recurve from Mr Bonner.  I received it yesterday and all I got to say is WOW.  This little bow is beautiful.  I can't wait to shoot it.  I'll be uploading pics as soon as I can find a stringer (probably going to have to order one...If I can't find one local) of me flinging some arrows off of it.  I feel like I won the lottery having a bow to shoot again.  I just wanted to publicly say Thank You to Mr. Bonner for the opportunity!

Loren,
It's a short bow with very stable limbs. The push pull method will work perfectly. That's the only way it's ever been strung. It has a fair amount of limb pocket angle so it's very easy to string. String it up a d get shooting! I hope it provides years of use and lots of meat.

Hold on guys...my wife is going to help me with photos asap...I just contacted Thunderhorn and I will have a stringer asap.  Thanks Mr. Bonner for the reassurance that a push-pull wouldn't hurt this recurve...but I would absolutely hate myself if something happened to it.

Is there anyone that I can email pics to, and they can do the techno stuff?  I don't know how to get pics on this site to show.

All I gotta say is WOW!  I haven't shot in a very long time, so I don't have anything recent to compare it against...but to my minds eye this thing flat SMOKES an arrow.  I'm shooting full length 2413's with 5 inch left helical shields.  145 grain bullets up front.  I know it's probably not the best shaft for this bow, but it's what I got to work with atm...The Wife wouldn't come out to take pics (it was too cold for her lol) but I will get my buddy to take some pics of my shooting it asap.  Mr. Bonner you make a fine bow, sir.  I am most proud to own one made by your skilled hands.  Thank you again. I'm hoping to be ready by turkey season this coming year to paint one red. I couldn't be any more excited.
