The tips to me are one of the most beautiful parts. David does the tips right. Very elegant.

Wow ... these bows are so dang cool looking it is hard to take sometimes. I would love to have an Old Tom.

Good on ya buddy.

Bob.

Hey nineworlds9 I call dibs on that Miller if you don't like it. Right at my specs

That's a beautiful one. Good luck with it. David Miller is arguably the best out there. I love his bows.

And rushlush that Pete George is the nicest, cleanest one I've seen. That thing looks mint. How long did somebody have that hidden in a closet? Great score on that one. Not many Timberlines out there. Too heavy for me or I'd be battling Goshawkin for it. He has quite a collection there. I know some of his bows.

Anybody got advice on gripping/shooting these. I'm still getting used to the straight grip, having problems with consistency in my shots. I'm damn accurate with my locator grip R/Ds and my pistol grip Arner LB, the Hill is definitely a change...

Mudd · December 07, 2012, 05:13:00 PM

I just keep getting sick when I look at the "Old Tom's".

I shouldn't have ever let mine out of my hands.

Enjoy them folks!

Great bows and my bull pen would still be complete if I hadn't done a stupid thing.

God bless,Mudd

PS: I guess it is like they say.... "no sense in crying over spilled milk!"

Nine,

The old Tom is not perfect, David cut the shelve in the wrong side. !!!
And as far as the grip goes, you should be able to grip it the same as your r/d bow. There really is no difference in how you grip it, UNLESS you use a straight wrist on the r/d bow.

Oh it's on buddy,I'll meet you in Jersey for the fight. Here's a pic so you'll recognize me.

That's way TOO FUNNY!!!

swampthing · December 07, 2012, 06:11:00 PM

Nice tips, not much dead wood out there. Dave Miller.

swampthing · December 07, 2012, 06:14:00 PM

My favorite bow.

mikebiz · December 07, 2012, 06:45:00 PM

Nice Expedition swampthing. More pics and specs please. You know the drill

mikebiz · December 07, 2012, 06:46:00 PM

Nice Expedition swampthing. Love the look of that old school glass. More pics and specs please. You know the drill

Let me help you out. It's Friday so I guess it's officially Miller Time

Expedition

Old Tom

canopyboy · December 07, 2012, 06:53:00 PM

What a great picture day. Nice bows there...

swampthing · December 07, 2012, 07:14:00 PM

68" lots of backset, Exped.

swampthing · December 07, 2012, 07:15:00 PM

And of course woven glass.

Rossco7002 · December 07, 2012, 07:32:00 PM

Jesse, did you get clear glass on the belly or coloured? Any pics?

... And once again my internal battle of Hawk vs Expedition gets under way..... Wish Dave would just build my bow so I can get to shooting it rather than agonizing over which model to get... Lol
