Ron,

I shot that prototype Peerless before I ordered mine from Bill. It was the best shooting bow I had ever had the opportunity to have in my hands -- at least until I got the one I ordered from Bill to my specs. You are a very fortunate man to have that bow. A Peerless is definitely "peerless" and there are only a handful of them in existence.

"You are a very fortunate man to have that bow".

You can say that again Allan! It's amazing what an average shooter can do with a top end bow and top quality shafts that are perfectly matched to that bow. If there was ever a house fire, that's the one personal possession that I'd brave the flames to save! Trying to get some pics posted of the bow but the sun isn't co-operating today. It keeps poking out for a minute or two, then it clouds up again. I will get them taken and posted though. Thanks again to everyone for the kind words!

Ron

Congrats Ron.  You have been talking about this for 6 months.  I knew you could dit it.  Good shooting Uncle Ron!

Ron,

Here are some pictures I took when I briefly had the bow. I'm sure you can take better ones that more accurately reflect the beauty of the bow.

Allan

Thanks Allan,

The sun did give me a brief opportunity today... 'Course by the time I got out on the deck with the camera the clouds had come back.       These aren't too bad though. Here she is:

and a couple more: I really love that little bit of red in the tip overlays!




All decked out with a perfectly matched Zipper quiver.  Thanks Bill! (both Bills, that is)    



Ron

Wow, cool, congrats!

how does the eagle eye work? like distance and how many shots?  i have been to Denton twice and missed this competion both times...

Nice,  congrats!

Way to go Ron. I enjoyed watching the whole show, you nailed it under pressure, I was quite impressed.

Beautiful bow Ron...now you need to put some venison on the ground with it this fall.....

 

Redshaft, you qualify for the Eagle Eye by shooting at an orange dot of about 1 1/4" in size at about 18-20 yards. It cost $2.00 per shot.
Once qualified you will shoot in an eliminator round starting about 5:30-6:00 on Saturday evening. They will call you up one at a time to shoot at a 2 1/4" dot on the kill zone of a deer at about 16-18 yards. Normally 2-4 shooters will advance to the next round. Almost always it will be decided in 2-4 rounds. Sometimes the target will be moved back a few yards for the second round but is usually moved back to it's original position if everyone misses.

It's a fun shoot and is a challenge to stay focused on a little orange dot with several hundred people focused on you taking that shot. I had the privilege of winning it 3 years ago. I have enjoyed it immensely at other times watching Hope Gillete win it dramatically last year and Ken Reading and Calvin Smock shooting the lights out the year before. Win or lose, I love this event.

Good shooting Ron!


         

Congratulations Ron, as already said, it couldn't have happened to a better person.

I just want to add that Ron beat out some top shooters which was no easy feat in itself.

Again congrats to friend!

Congratulations to everyone who competed and qualified  and a special congratulations Ron and Ethan!! Good job guys!!!!

Good shootin' Ron.    

Good looking bow in the hands of a man who knows how to shoot it.Congrats Ron. Job well done. By the way, if you hunt with that bow make sure your broadheads are hair splitting sharp. Hear tell you'll be pleased with the results. If you need any help give me a call.  

   

Congrats   RON      I wish I had stayed to Saturday  to se eyou shoot      

Way to go Ron!!  I knew you could do it!  Ya know...there's no going back now!  8^)

peace bro...
