HH bug got me ... Part One!

[Wannabe1]

Hey folks, my HH Redman has some (checking/crazing?) going on, on the back of the limbs. Should I be worried? If not, I was thinking of saving some money and having the limbs snake skinned 'cause I don't like the looks of what's going on. Any thoughts on what might be causing it? I tried to get as good a pic as possible without the flash messing up the image.

finish checking at best, glass chrysling at worst.  looks more like it's in the finish.

[**DONOTDELETE**]

send a pm to either/both the real bowdoc & whip and ask them..

[Wannabe1]

I sent one to Craig but, he hasn't responded as of yet. Just wondering if anyone else has had this and should I be worried?

[Brad_Gentry]

Wannabe,
Looks like finish checking to me. My Big 5's got the same thing on it. I wouldn't worry about.

i have a Schulz that I have refinished three times since the 70s for the same thing.  The finish lasts for a five or six years of hard shooting.

[Wannabe1]

Ok, thanks Brad. That's what I was hoping for.  

Any thoughts on what this bow would look like with skins on it to cover that up?   :D

I heard those wondeful words from Craig today.
"Your bow shipped out yesterday"!!! Wont be long now.

[SpankyNeal]

I know what you mean Mike. Nate emailed me today to say that my Natural was next to be finished so it should be in my hands in a couple of weeks...and so the anticipation builds!

I have a feeling that there is going to be 2 bows in this box. Longbowben and myself live beside each other and he ordered his before mine. I told Jason if they got done at the same time save a buck and ship them together. Sooooooooo you will porbably see 2 new ones here in a day or two.

Uh Oh, wonder whos house they are going to go to?    I better keep an eye on Bens mailbox looking for that yellow slip. Dont you guys tell him our bows are done.  

[longbowben]

         Looks like we better go to the post office in the morning!!!!!

Does anyone know what the handle wood is on the Redman on the HH longbow page?

[longbowben]

Didn'T come in today  

Stacy...my guess would be Texas Ebony.  It's a nice piece of wood for sure.  You have a bow comin' right?

Rained in today but planning a two day hunt next weekend with Marty /Apex at Fort stewart . He lives kinda close too so we`ll have a blast. Should be about 12-15 trad archers there.RC

[SpankyNeal]

Don't forget your camera RC as you never know, one of you might actually kill something!      Lookin forward to the pics bud!

Hey TW.... I'm home on a food break from the UBM in JC.

You'll never guess what I found there...lol I didn't have may camera then but when I go back it'll be in my pocket.

You are gonna drool when you see pictures....lol

Normally when you talk about diamonds the ladies just love it.. I bet Killie will like these diamonds as will you!

Try to picture in your mind a 66" "Cheetah" 55@28 dished grip, limb tip overlays and back with some very pretty diamondback rattler skins(buzz worm skins)..lol I read that one somewhere and loved how it sounded.

God bless,Mudd
