An "Owl" and a half - Picture HEAVY

[Winterhawk1960]

This past week the mailman made the trip to the front door with a package from Grants, New Mexico. I had given Ed Scott a call and found that he had an eastern juniper, sinew backed longbow in a weight that would do me fine. The "icing on the cake" was that he also had a little eastern juniper, canvas backed longbow in just the weight that would suit my only Grandaughter to a tee.

I have been wanting one of Ed's bows for a couple years now so I had them both sent to me, sight-unseen. I wasn't disappointed in any way, shape or form. The bows arrived on Wednesday but with the rain that we have had all week......I wanted to wait until we had a decent day to take some pictures. I will tell you up front that I haven't shot the bow yet because of being in rehab for my right shoulder......but if either of them shoot only half as good as they look I will be an extremely happy camper. I took pictures up and down both sides of both bows limbs to show Ed's incredible craftsmanship so this is gonna be a "picture heavy" thread.

So........without further adoo......I'll let the "Owl and a half" pictures speak for themselves.

Thanks guys.........I'm really pleased.

Pat B, I'm currently doing rehab on my string arm shoulder.......I had rotator cuff surgery and I'm NOT gonna draw a bow until the physical therapist gives me the go ahead. I'll post some after I get the O.K.

Very nice... designs are beautiful but very functional as well probably doesn't look like much in a natural blind against an autumn forest floor!!
