Dusted off an old friend - Shadow "Phantom"

[Benoli]

I was doing some major garage cleaning that required rearranging all my bow stuff. In doing so I decided to take a few shots with what was my "go to" bow for several years. It's a Shadow "Phantom" made by Vince Yak. It was my first longbow and chosen due to a number of discussions here on the Trad Gang and with Vince over the phone. I now wish I had bought other models of his work as I understand he is no longer building any bows. Anyway I thought I'd share the pics below and am certain this bow won't sit idle for any length of time going forward.

 
 
 
 
 

Hopefully I resized the Pics correctly.

Very nice photos. What are your "friend's" specifications with regards to length and poundage?

60", 50# @ 28". It's very quite and smooth to draw.
