Compton's Surprise

[owlbait]

On June 16th, I arrived at Compton's to help set-up the Stalker Recurve booth and deliver South's bows. I saw Chuck Deshler(TwoTracks) and asked him when he was going to start on my new bow. It seemed he had been putting me off for several weeks about building me a "Pure Michigan" Longwalker. I had bought Chuck's personal Longwalker at Grayling last year and REALLY liked it. But... it had a lot of osage in it, and I'm just not an Osage fan. So....

Chuck surprised me with this beauty!

[owlbait]

64" 49#@28". Curly ash veneers, walnut I-beam and limb core, curly ambrosia maple riser. That wasn't the only surprise.

Mike,

That is something.  Very nice.  No two alike with that one.

God Bless,   Pierre

That is one very beautiful bow!  congrats.  Whats the other surprise??

[cacciatore]

That is a nice bow,Chad is full of surprises!

[Reaper TN]

Beautiful bow!  How's it shoot?

[owlbait]

I had asked South Cox to send me the cutouts from my new Stalker Longbow so I could have a knife made. The wood never showed up, South always seemed to be putting me off. Unbeknownst to me Chuck had formed a conspiracy with South and KHALVERSON(Kevin) to have the wood shipped to Chuck, and Chuck shipped it to Kevin, and this was the result. First. the bow:  
The knife:

Mike,

Sweet bow (that streak is one of a kind)!  Now that you are pro-staff you will have to kill something with big antlers for the hero pic.    :D

[owlbait]

Thanks Chuck, Kevin, and South! Compton's falls on my birthday and Father's Day weekend and I had an amazing weekend. New bow, new knife, old friends, and my new boy Jordan to shoot with! Just doesn't get any better than that!

[owlbait]

Thanks cacciatore, that bow is a Longwalker, made by Chuck Deshler, Two Tracks!    

[owlbait]

Will, I would love to shoot ANYTHING, my hunting has been poor the last few years! Chuck and Bill Dunn have a "Special" ProStaff and I was lucky enough to be included       That is really a pretty bow and I can't wait to shoot something with it!

[GREATBROWNKNOCKEMDOWN]

WOW!! is all i can say, very sweeeet.

[longbowben]

Wow very nice looking bow.That male and ash are perfect together.  

[Ron LaClair]

That Chuck fella makes a mighty pretty bow. Better keep an eye on him..   :cool:

 

[owlbait]

Ron, sometimes he's closer to Chuckie than Chuck    When he's Chuck though, he makes some fine products and I'm glad he's my friend!

[2treks]

Glade you like the bow Mike,and the knife.
Ron,you scare me!  :eek:

[Mudd]

What very nice surprises!

Congratulations!

God bless,Mudd

PS: A thought to ponder on.... why is it that when most of us(me included)find ourselves in a position of no knowing something our minds almost always look for the "there must be something wrong" place instead of trusting.. I'm just asking?

I believe it's nothing more than just human nature.
