Title: christmas bow
Post by: Uncle Buck on January 17, 2014, 05:26:00 AM
I thought I would share a picture of my new Bow that my Boss and his wife gave me for Christmas. Cocobolo veneers under clear glass with a bamboo core and zebrawood riser. 58" 45@28. Made by SS custom archery in Pelham Alabama

Drewsbow, I am truly blessed. Shirikahn, I love the grip. It puts the arrow close to your hand and its a natural "pointer". I don't know the technical term, but it shoots where I am looking.

its just a small company with wonderfully generous owners. They knew that I had sold my old Bear bows during a period of unemployment and the bow I kept to hunt with broke a limb, so they decided to surprise me. Needles to say, I was surprised, blessed and incredibly grateful.
