Well I couldnt help but give my girlfriend her valentines day gift early since we had 70 degree weather in PA and I was dyin to get outside and shoot. Mike Gibson of Olequa Bows custom made this for her and she is absolutely in love with it. Just thought I would post some pictures of this work of art!

I got two pictures with her arrow coming through like that and I just had to post them, I think its so cool. The brace height is very low and the feathers get into the riser, so I was thinkin about going with those RAZR feathers. I think thats what they are called. What do you think?

That thing is BRIGHT HOLY COW!!!!!!!! Oh yeah and very cool. I have two little girls and a wife so I am surrounded by pink. Glad to see you are sharing time like that together. Buying her a pink bow, that is almost like a promise ring..Run for the hills..LOL

HAHA, I wont let her read that henry! I'll tell you what though, she has pretty awesome form for only shooting a bow a few times...That bow arm is pretty steady to take those action shots!

Who made that bow and what are the specs on it? My wife says that if I got her a bow that she would shoot it.

She'll never lose that thing in the woods! Have fun.

Chester, his name is Mike Gibson, he goes by crimson mist on here. The specs are 36#@ 24". We had it made specifically for the weight she wanted. It was definately worth it.

He is a very friendly guy to talk to. His email is mandsgibson@netzero.com if you would like to get a hold of him that way.

Looks like a keeper....

NorthernCaliforniaHunter · February 12, 2009, 05:52:00 PM

That is really awesome! I think I'll have to spray paint my girl's "little brave" in hot pink! She'd love it!

I definately think the pink will get her out shooting more, and I'm sure your lil girl would be the same way.
