Title: Had to share
Post by: kat on March 01, 2014, 10:08:00 AM
My dream bow got here yesterday. I have been thinking about this one for a while.
I thought I would share it. Hope you like it as well as I do.

Hey guys; you must be standing on the wrong side. Walk around to the left side.

Nice bow!

Except for no Bear compass your riser is a dead ringer for mine, even same hand.  I like those quilted maple limbs.

Oh no!  They had the plans reversed!  They cut the shelf on the wrong side.     :knothead:  

That's beautiful.  And it's now in the hands of someone who can show its paces.      :thumbsup:

Can't imagine what you see in that bow. I'll be glad to help a fellow TG'er out and take it off your hands, though   :)  

That looks a lot like the waterfall ash I have on my RER LXR (except mine is still missing the skins).

OK, I'll be honest. It's beautiful!

Beautiful Bow Ken!

If you shoot if half as good as your old tips,  stumps and critters will be quivering when you enter the woods.

see you at Rockwood and perhaps the next mhta shoot.
