Title: Just Picked Up My Brand New Sarrel's Long Bow!
Post by: Stephen G on January 28, 2015, 05:49:00 PM
I just picked up my new bow. Being that this is my first trad bow I am pretty stoked!

I've only been at this for a short time and after all my research Sarrel's Archery in south Austin, Texas was not only well spoken of, but also local!

Pic's to follow!

A big thanks to Bisch for the recommendation to use Bob and Zach at Sarrel's. I still got some tuning to do with my GT 35/55 shafts. I shot it with mixed 500 spine arrows from a buddy (Beman and GT). She still did OK at 10 yards. I've got a lot to learn.

Here are a few pics of my new beauty:

Awesome!  Sarrels builds out and out shooters.  For a bow born to hunt that happens to be pretty handsome too they are a fine choice.

Bisch is evil that way!    :D

Regardless of how you found Bob and Zach's door, you've gotten your hands on a superb longbow.  Enjoy!

P.S. - one of the first things we are going to have to teach you is how to properly post pics on TG!     :laughing:      :laughing:      :laughing:

Bisch- Understood. I don't like how these image links are posting. I tried asking about thow to post the image directly into the text box and followed one guys advice. So far it hasn't worked. Lol

I'm sure it's something I'm doing wrong. Please teach away Bisch!

Well...looks like photo bucket is having trouble connecting.    :knothead:

Terry Green,

That was the exact issue I was having...  :)    :help:  

Should I try a different photo hosting site instead of photo bucket?

On photo bucket there is a box to your right that has

Email & IM

Direct

HTML

IMG

just click on you photo you want to post the click on the "IMG" link that starts with URL=htpp// photobucket.....  It will highlight saying "Copied"   then go to the thread box here and paste it in....  Bingo!  Ya got it...

One more thing..... make sure you size your photos down to 640 pixels or less in width before up loading to photobucket. Editing pictures in photo bucket isn't user friendly.... and the photos posted here have to be 640 or less in width.

Very nice, Sarrels have  become my favorite longbows.

They just seem to fit me very well and shoot where I look.
