new arrival Down Under - WOW

[suttoman]

I haven't been able to post on here very much of late - shifted to a new State, job etc and have been unable to fling any arrows for quite a while (unfortunately).  

I ordered a Toelke Whip from Dan about two months ago and have been so busy I hardly thought about it - well it just arrived today.  I know I will get slaughtered for not posting any pics, but I have just got in from work and it's dark and I probably can't shoot the bow for a few days yet, or take any pics - but I will do ASAP.

I am blown away by the quality of my new bow.  Dan is a master-craftsman, and just in finish, feel and quality it blows all my other bows out of the water.  Thanks Dan - you are a winner!!!

I can't wait to shoot it on the weekend - I will keep you all posted and have some pics then.  Oh yea - she is Cocobolo riser with bamboo cores and limbs - 64", 41# @ 28.  It will be just the medicine for those big Aussie critters!#$%^&%$^&$!!  

The only problem is it looks gorgeous - a real work of art like a beautiful musical instrument -one almost feels like not wanting to risk getting it blemished!!

Cheers - Sutto
