So, in 1 month time we only moved 2 people?  Larry should have it and see is waiting.   See maybe Pm Larry or contact Will. Other on the list will like it when they get there chance.   Good shooting!!

[Crittergetter]

Hey guys, I'll take a pass and remove my name from the list. I signed up for the hope and faith and "hope"fully I'll have hope around the same time I would get this pass around. That will help move things along a little.

Where is the bow?   Guys lets get this thing back on track. Keep he bow 3-5 days and get it en route to the next person.  It's been awhile since any feedback was given as well.   The holidays are over so let's get it rolling again.  Thanks Will

[see]

Still not heard anything

[South MS Bowhunter]

Has anybody contacted Larry to see if its been shipped?  Seems he had it last based on the above post.

Anyway can't wait to hear more about these bows  

[larry f]

See... the bow is in the mail.

[South MS Bowhunter]

Anymore reviews on the bow?  Larry what did you think of the bows, did you find the recurve or hybrid limbs better for your situations?

Some have stated one or the other as being smoother, but it seems to be a "your mileage may vary " deal.

Anyway looking forward to your inputs as I'm sure Will is to.

Being a Quality Assurance inspector I know how important feedback is as this would allow him to make any changes that may be needed, thanks.

And if you haven't been keeping up with the St. Jude bows take a look at what Will has generously built for this years auction    :eek:

I did not get a chance to shoot it as our temps were -10 to -25. I did un pack the bow and put it together, it sure felt nice in my hand. I liked the way it felt when I pulled it back. It arrived while we were gone to Denver for Xmas. when we got back it was really cold out and had no place to shoot it.

[South MS Bowhunter]

Oh man I hate that was the way it turned out   :(  that would be a bummer to have that in your hands and not be able to enjoy the full pleasure of shooting it.

Did you think about signing up for the St. Jude bows?  May be a way to try again and add a hunt to their adventures.

[DWT]

Can a person still get in line to try Wills bow?

[South MS Bowhunter]

Don,


Sir look for the St. Jude bows sign up.  There a roster being created to hunt with the bows over the next 18 months.

Will has created a RH and LH bow for this purpose and at the end of the cycle they will be auctioned off in support of St. Jude Children hospital.

Guys I received the bow yesterday on Sat.
Was able to shoot the recurve limbs last evening
And shot very good,hitting right at my aim point.nothing was included suggesting the Nick pt and brace height so I'm playing with it. Also which of the 2 strings are suggested for the matching limbs rec or longbow. Its crafted awesome. The riser has great weight and the bocote limbs are to
Be envied by any trad bowman. I am getting a little arrow slap but not too much noise with goodies alum
And carbons. Gonna touch base with the owner to get his take on where to start with the specs. So far it a fabulous bow to my liking.

Its Fri and time to send to Pops. I thank Will for the opp for all of us to shoot his bow. I got the specs from him and things got better.
1. Bow is a beauty,riser has beef to it and limbs
  Are Incredible
2.the longbow limbs shot better for me even though
 I'm a recurve guy. Was esp surprised to find this
 Out. I have always shot and liked the feel of rec
 Over longbow limbs and I've shot bunches of bows
3. The longbow was really quiet. I'm gonna name it
  Will cause this is true- it's a Creme Puff,
  Extra smooth and creamy delivery of the arrow
  And extremely quiet
The rec performed well for me and had more zip but
Not as quiet and smooth
The veneers were beautiful on both sets.
I was clearing a wood pile lot to stack my wood and
Stuck a small nail in my forefinger of my drawing hand.it did not keep me from shooting. I learned something from this: what finger pinch is.
When shooting the rec my finger would hurt. Angle of the string was much more pronounced
When shooting the lB there was hardly any finger pressure to cause me pain on the end of my forefinger.
I don't know the prices yet but would have to consider one in the future.
Thanks again for letting me have this experience.

Dwight,

I get my chance in June with Hope one of the St. Jude gals
