Oh my Oh my...Charlie Lamb

tippit · April 30, 2009, 08:39:00 AM

A long box arrived at my clinic yesterday!

To back step one second, I was privileged to share Whip's pyramid tent with he and Charlie Lamb this past February down Texas way. I found myself having to keep a towel in hand to wipe the drool off my face every time Charlie came in with his Sunbear :D

OK back to the present, I did break down and have Charlie make me a longbow. He asked me what I wanted & liked...55# +/- and my favorite wood is Osage. But beyond that I said surprise me with your artistic eye! I don't normally do that if I'm going to buy a new bow except every Sunbear I have seen as been drop jaw gorgeous!!

Charlie emailed me a couple of weeks ago saying the final finish was drying, she came in at 56#, and He was having a hard time letting her go! It's been a long couple of weeks but boy was it worth the wait.

My new Sunbear...you can see how she shines in the sun too. This is my Quebec Quest III bow for sure. Thanks Charlie

Doc

Beautiful bow as always when Charlie does his magic.

Ooooooh the agony! That's simply not fair Tippit, now I have to get a drool towel too :D

Looking forward to pics with her and this year's bear.

Tip,

What a beautiful bow! You made a great call by letting Charlie create a bow that pleases his eye. I have only purchased one custom bow, so far, but you can be assured I will put Charlie on my list of " Must have" bows.

Congratulations on another fine bow for your collection Jeff.
Looking forward to seeing it in action

Been chasing turkeys in the new bear blind. Plenty of room for a 64"

Yep, Charlie has got it figured out

Don't wear it out in Canada Doc, I think it just might work for elk too

I had the privilege of handling this bow this past weekend and she is a keeper. Congratulations Doc!

Those Quebec bears are very afraid of Sunbears!

It will serve you well!
