Man Law: My dream bow becomes a reality....

For as long as I can remember, I have always desired a Blacktail Snakebit TD. Every time I saw a pic of one, I would say, now that is the real deal! But with a family to support, I knew owning one would be a far stretch, at least any time in the near future. I always thought to myself....one day. Well, today is the day! A buddy, Greg (A bit outside) bought this bow a while back. It is a 64" bow and draws 47@28". Snakewood footed with ebony, checkered grip. Greg loved the bow but his draw length wasn't getting the performance he wanted so he offered it to me (Thank You Greg, your a good guy!). It cost me my Thermal TD and a Model 29 but well worth it in my book. We have a understanding that neither bow goes anywhere without the other having dibs first (as it should be between buds!). Today is the first day I spent with the Snakebit but it didn't take long to get dialed in with her. I also have a Blacktail Elite TD, Zipper TD and several vintage Kodiaks to round out my collection, so far. Norm build one sweet bow  :thumbsup:  !

So....

The wife wants to watch "The New World" on DVD tonight with the boys. I'm thinkin "OK...make the best of it"

After about 10 min's of this epic flick, I've seen enough and cruise on over to the computer. After 30 min's or so, I check in and everybodys knocked out (Yea.great flick...) so I head back to the PC to see whats up on the gang. A little bit later the other half gets up and heads to bed and asks that I see the boys to bed. No problem. A little bit later, I catch movement and I see 9 year old Zach standing in front of the recliner he was just knocked out on. I don't have my glasses on so things a bit fuzzy. I'm thinkin to myself, "What's he doin?" I notice his hands position and...

HOLY DIBBLING DINKIES BATMAN!!! HE'S GOING ON THE RECLINER!

I yell "HEY!! What are you doin?"

Huh? What? Going to the bathroom...he says calmly.

Kim's yelling from the bedroom "Don't kill him honey, he's still asleep!"

Kids....GOD love em. Sometime you wonder if a good blunt in the touche would do em any good.

Yup, ya gotta wake him up to tell him what he's being killed for. Laughed out loud on that one, even though it reminded me of a {brief) boyfriend I had...  :thumbsup:

I have been on a roll here lately. In the last year, I picked up 64 and 66 Kodiak's (sweet bows!) and two Blacktail TD's. When it rains, it pours! I'm still working on tuning the Snakebit (shoots good, just a bit louder then I prefer) and will have it and the 64 Kodiak in tow in Baltimore. That movie sucked sooo bad, I think it killed my cable box (Get to deal with Comcast customer service today- Oh joy!) Thought y'all would get a kick out of Zach. Be sure to mention it when you see him in Baltimore. He still doesn't believe it happened...

I will be sure to ask him not to fall asleep at the campfire. We like to keep it lit!
