I don't know about all that Bernie.We will see.  :)  I can saw stuff up in thin pieces and with a can of smooth-on make most things I want but I have not tried a regular back bow before.You know me.I am more of a glass and carbon kind of guy.  :bigsmyl:

Oh I don't care how far you pull it Bernie.I know you are not strong enough to hurt it any.  :D  It will be 3 weeks or so before I get it but I will probably have 2 or 3 to play with by the time we go to Hickory.  :)

You're killing me. Have one on order and can't wait. I already own a Windtalker by Dryad Bows. Have been shooting a bushwacker for several months now and love shooting it. Just get goose bumps thinking about it. Can't wait. You're killing me or did i already say that.
Slow down and enjoy life.  It's not only the scenery you
miss by going too fast - you also miss the sense of where
you are going and why.

Yep that's her all right! Great picture Mike!

I finaly was able to get her tuned today.  I was able to do it nice and easy and with my three year old daughter in tow who didn't really want to be there either.  So considering I had to keep an eye on her, and tune the bow and it went easy, well, it's a good shootin bow!  
After that I took her out the the range and was really able to put her through the paces.  Once I figured out how to shoot this bow, man I was shooting 6" groups at twenty yards pretty consistantly until my arm got tired.  This bow flat SHOOTs.  It's not as forgiving as the WindTalker, but I think that's to be expected considering the huge difference in Lenghts.  I have always been a gap shooter, but I found out today that this bow seem to do better shooting it more instictivly.  Once I stopped "trying" so hard, I shot it great! OH and I was shooting those Sitka Spruce arrows I made up in the Build-along.  They shot just dandee!  
This is my new go to bow.  
thank you so much Mike and son!

oh yeah one more thing...when I was at the proshop today tuning her, I got the chance to get in an Ameristep "doghouse" blind.  It's one of those really short ones you can't stand in.  I was able to kneel or sit and use the bow at a normal cant with plenty of room between roof and floor!

Congrats Derek!  She's a real looker and I know she'll be a sweet shooter as well.  I've shot the prototype bow with the garolite belly and was extremely impressed with it.  I've got a horn bellied Bushwacker on order that I hope to have by Turkey season -- I can't wait!  This will be my third Dryad bow and they just keep getting better and better!!!!
