Just curious if anyone who knows who got Robin Hood #1?

Joe

I have heard that Craig has a customer that get all the #1. Can't remember where I read that.

Dick Wightman I believe will know. I don't know if he knows the person or not.

Shoot! Why go through Dick when Craig is now one of our sponsors and we can ask him directly.

Unless that person doesn't want that fame it shouldn't be a problem getting a name, assuming the story is true to begin with.

God bless,Mudd

QuoteOriginally posted by SpankyNeal:
I already listed the new one in my signature (got the ants in my pants ya know) it's named "El Tigre" after the Jaguar Howard took in Mexico. This is a new one for Nate in that it has glass on the back only like the Schulz Naturals. It is 65" long and should finish out around 58@26.5" with brown glass on the back, caramelized lams, and according to Nate, a stunning Myrtle riser.

The shorter length works to keep the cast up, and works fine with this style bow...John liked his Naturals at 64" for his 26" draw. The difference is this one is setup for modern strings! This style of bow naturally has more string follow than a glass bow which makes them even softer at the shot, and more stable, just not quite as fast which really doesn't matter much to me anyway.

I think it's going to do a great job of replacing my Pete George natural that I had to sell last year, and I suspect that it's going to be even better!        

David, this one won't work for you beautiful people...the shelf is on the wrong side!      

As far as I know the Schulz Naturals never had any glass in them. They were all bamboo backed with either bamboo, or yew or osage cores-no glass.

I'm expecting a new Sunset Hill sometime this Spring. Hope it arrives in time for Spring Bear.  

Thanks Kelly, I always thought that was the Grandpa's and Tonkins...shows how much I know LOL! I'm still learning about all the different models John made! Someone who knows John's bows should pipe in and fill us in!

Hope yours gets there in time for your hunt!  

Did a little Hill stumpin' today.

I`m prolly gonna have to trade this sweet Big 5 with an extra lam of yew in the middle for one 4-5 pounds less weight.Its 55@28 and 66 long with straight grip.I`ve tried ti "build" up but as I get older I find I "tear" up.

no wheelin or dealin on the powwow please

 

Far Rider that's a beauty!

Thanks for sharing.

God bless,Mudd

PS: Apologies Rob!

I'll get it out to you tomorrow.

please guyz - no sellin or horse tradin on the powwow, classifieds only - thank you

Rob can you post a closeup picture of that modified locator grip on your new bow.Thanks

ben, that's not a modified grip, that's the way craig is now shaping them, according to jason.

Your probably right Rob,that looks identical to my new one.

Thanks im going to give that grip a try.I didn't like that pointy straight grip so i sent it back to round it off, but im going to ask for that grip.Thanks again  

Gents,

Got this 100# HH from Joseph Garvon, originally owned by Leo Markert.

THe grip was huge. For those of you that know Leo, he is a big man. I am only 5' 9" so I don't have big hands.

Anyway, the Riser is covered with Elephant Skin.

I sent the bow to Craig to reduce the grip and make it dished. While, Craig was at it, he added the Elephant Silver Inlay.

What do you think?

Here is the original HUGE Grip!

 

Here is the re-sized Grip!

 

Original Straight Versus Dished

     

No Inlay and with the Elephant Inlay

         

Sorry Rob.RC
