Glad you like it, Buddy.
The essence of the hunt for me is to enter nature and observe+ return safely occasionally with the gift of a life taken.

Hi Don,
        That's Beautiful Mentor you picked up there!! I agree 100% they certainly are shooters! I bought one from the classifieds here about two years and I don't ever plan on giving this one up. It shoots like no other recurve I own. Extreamly smooth to draw and really sends an arrow out there. Here is a pic.
   
I reckon so

I'm glad to see the bow went to a home. I wanted to buy it when it went up for sale. It is absolutely gorgeous! I have a Maccasser Ebony Mentor as well, Myrtle veneers though. It is my hunter and best performing bow, a total rocket! Smooth as butter too! I also have another Mentor in Cocobolo and Bacote which is very very beautiful. These bows are the ones I'm keeping as I've thinned the herd a bit. No way am I getting rid of my Wallace bows as I have 2 matching longbows for them. Actually Wes is building a B model riser for an extra set of limbs for me right now. It will make my 60" limbs into a 56" bow. I'm so excited I can barely stand it! It will match my other Cocobolo bow. Wes is the absolute best, world class guy and he builds world class bows!! I wish I wouldn't have been strapped for cash at the time that one was sold or it would have been gone. Enjoy and share some stories with it when they come.

I've never been able to SHOOT one, but in handling/admiring them, they seem very impressive. Nice craftsmanship, and very smooth to draw. Congrats!

Don, that is a good looking bow.  Best wishes with it.  

Are you going to Baltimore (BBTC) next month, or to Roanoke (STAR) at the beginning of June?  If so, I'll bring along my 64" - 50# @ 28" Mentor.... let you try that one.
