Folks, I am new to Trad Gang and LOVE the site, have learned a lot from some very informed people. I ordered a Leon Stewart Slammer Special 62in & 45#, PA.Yew, on back,Bamboo in the middle and Osage on the belly. I ordered it in July at ETAR.  Drove 5 hours to pick it up cuz I wanted to spend some time with Leon, and it was well worth it. Leon is a country gentleman and gave me a few tips that will improve my shooting. I also had a friend(MonkeyBall) who picked up his new Stewart bow a few weeks earlier,meet me there just to share the day my big day. It has been almost two weeks since I have had the bow and I am still excited, my wife is actually jealous of my new love. I guess there is not a real point here except I needed to yell to the trad world how happy I am, a 64 yrs old who feels like a 24 yrs old. Thanx Leon, and Monkeyball- who recommended the Slammer.

Frank: Glad that you got a new Slammer, sounds like a great looking bow. They sure will shoot, hope you enjoy.

I'm waiting for a Bamabow and I know exactly how you feel.  Tulsa is only four hours away and that sure don't seem too far if I can get my hands on it sooner.  Good luck with your new bow and I totally understand about shouting to the world.  Tradgang has filled in a void for me. I don't know anyone around here yet that wants to talk trad.

Congratulations to you and isn't it great that we can still get excited about these kind of things! A new bow whether brand new, or just new to you is a great thing. Thank your wife many times over for supporting you and do something extra special for her so she know she's still number one! Happy sliver shooting and post some pictures of that new stick!

[monkeyball]

A big welcome aboard to you Frank. Your bow is a beauty and having Yew that was growing in Penna.is really a cool thing.

 Leon is an awesome guy and his bows look and shoot with the finest out there.Craftsmanship beyond compare. Check them out!

                           Good Shooting,
