Took a walk with a TG buddy

[Tom]

This morning a long package arrived from Kansas. It contained a Holm made Osprey from my cyber friend Ringneck. Shawn and I decided since we are acknowledged bowho's we would exchange bows we were curious about that the other one had. I sent him a 1 piece H'bird and received the LB. This is jut a trial temporary thing but the trust is the important thing here.
 Decided to skip a few honey do's and enjoy a walk in the woods. Went to my bow club and shot a 14 round field range with the LB. Ha two sets of 4 arrows with me so was shooting 8 arrows at each target.
 Understand I am not a target shooter per se but decided to try this bow out in this way. Ended up shooting from 80 -15 yards with this new found pleasure. Forgot how pleasant a lb is to carry, not to mention how quiet. Point on for me was 45 yards. Anything 35 yards and under was shot instinctive as is the case with my recurves. The bow is 51#@28 but I draw 29" so I was impressed with how this little bow spit out fairly heavy arrows.
 Also accompanying me on this little walk was a knife that Shawn made me. Just in case the snakes were out. So even though Shawn is someone I have never met in person I truly was walking with a friend. We are hoping to get together next year for a hunt in KS. if I get drawn. If anyone is interested in a quality made custom knife you might check out: swaffordknives.com Unembarrassed plug for a friend.
 Overall a great way to spend a few hours.

Cool story Tom, and it is indeed a GREAT thing to be able to shoot another bow that we have been hankerin' to try. I have talked to and met so many good people on here. There's just "somethin' special" about people that shoot traditional bows.

Oh, and you pretty much know what I have in my "small arsenal" and anytime that you would like to "take a walk" with any of them, just let me know.

Oh, and I am becoming a bowho'.........also.

Tom, glad you are enjoying the bow    . I'm sure enjoying yours. We'll get together in person next year!

[Ringneck]

Need to say that I have enjoyed sharing the cyber campfire with Tom and others on the gang.    Now I'm headed out to fling a few arrows out of my new, errrr Tom's bow. You'll get it back buddy   :D
