Yesterday was New Bow Day at my house!

[dhaverstick]

I'm moose hunting again this fall so I thought I better treat myself to a new longbow for the adventure. You know, because all my other longbows and recurves are worn out. Mike Dunnaway, of Wild Horse Creek Bows, had some new wood combinations at his booth at the UBM Festival and he quickly set the hook on me as I perused his wares.

This is a 62" Destiny two-piece takedown longbow that pulls 54#@28". The riser is cocobolo, the limb core is bamboo, and the limb veneer is spalted tamarind. I shot it yesterday evening and my first arrow out of the bow was a 20-yard shot at a clay bird. I hit the bird and thought that was pretty good omen. Hopefully, this bow and I will be bringing home a pile of moose meat the first part of October.

If there were a bow to tempt me it would be a Wild Horse Creek.

Very nice. What broadhead were you looking at pairing it with?

Just got some 5/16 red balau shafts from Kevin Forrester. I'll get them turned into arrows in the near future and mount some 190 grain Meatheads on them.

I am pleased that your new Destiny is working out for you, Darren.  I can't wait to hear the tales of the moose hunt.

Red Balau are hard to beat for durability.
