The "HerdBull" bow I made for myself cracked this year at the PBS shoot in August. So I made another one off of the same form. She came out at 61# and sports fiberglass and bubinga riser with action-boo limbs with bubimga veneers. I finished it just in time to go bear hunting in Manitoba.

It was quite warm and the bugs were still bad. I heard wolves nearly every night. Near the end of the hunt I put "HerdBull-2" into action and took a mature bear. The woodsman elite passed through the rib-cage. Mike
