Ron, I'll be at Whittingham. Hopefully camping for the weekend with my son.

Jerry Jeffer · February 07, 2008, 08:01:00 PM

I'll be stopping by Whittingham. Don't think I'll be camping since I am expecting a new child a few weeks before.

I have some money burning a hole in my pocket for a new bow.

Hey Eric glad you got your bow. Best of luck and happy hunting with it. Can't wait to see it.

Just got home from PVA... I shot 2 really nice bows... One of them was a Raptor bow from Ted Fry...the other was a northrenWind. I'm hoping to have the ted bow before Whittingham in April.

Was the Fry bow a yew bow backed with I believe goat skin? If so it's been there for a few years but a very nice bow. I bought one a few years ago from PVA that was it's sister bow and took a few deer with it but eventually sold it like all my other bows after I got my DAS Master.

I think thats it.. Scott said it was there for 2 or 3 years... the price is OK... I really like the way it shot, but I think if I get it I'll work the handle some...

MikeC · February 10, 2008, 04:16:00 PM

Yep thats the bow it's been there at least three years. I choose the other because the grip fit me better. Scott told me they were both from the same owner. Mine was 55@26 can't recall the weight of the one you shot.

**DONOTDELETE** · February 10, 2008, 04:17:00 PM

The hardest work person Today at PVA...

The gang....

The Gang w/ Me on the end....

**DONOTDELETE** · February 10, 2008, 04:19:00 PM

It was 50@26. It was/is a great bow... I'm going to do my best to get it.... I would love to have it before the Shoot, maybe I'll get for my birth day....

MikeC · February 10, 2008, 05:03:00 PM

I wish you luck getting the bow, if not before Whittingham I'm sure it will be there for you...LOL. Self bows have dropped off the popularity scale the past few years.

Keep the brace height low, just want to clear the fletching and resist the urge to draw it back and hold it there without shooting an arrow. Only keep it braced as long as you need to and it will last a lifetime. Mine shot best with woodies spined 15 to 20 pounds less than draw weight with 125 grain heads.

Great seeing everyone today. Sal your correct I think we had Scott a little busy today.He was happy to meet so many new faces and have that many new customers today. Great pictures by the way. I'm glad you brought your camera. That Ted Fry selfbow has your name on it Bud.We had a good time didn't we folks.We shot some arrows. Looks like Reiner has a new bow in his future too. He really liked that Mon River 'Possum Stick . It is a shooter for sure.Had Scott put his world famous dingle berries[cat whiskers] on my string. Pat it was good to see you again.You made some quality purchases too.Jerry brought his little girl cute as a button and Larry brought Andrew along glad to hear he's doing well in school. Great Day all around!
