Ramer, I got first blood, but Steve got best blood
« on: September 02, 2016, 02:04:00 PM »
I have been messing around with Steve Turays new Ramer longbow this summer....I posted this gar earlier, Steve and I believe it is the first critter taken with a Ramer. Well, I have been more than outdone....Steve just sent me a picture of antelope #2, this week. That's right. Steve has taken 2 antelope this week, one in Wyoming, one in Nebraska. We are communicating by bad cell reception and sporadic text, so I don't know much of the story. The one below was taken at 7:30 this morning.     :thumbsup:

I shot that bow at Great Lakes. Very quiet and smooth. If it weren't for next week's elk hunt, I'd have brought it home. Great bow.

Nice kills, both you and Steve. What's the draw weight on yours and Steve's Ramer?

I picked up a NM Superior at GLLI from Steve.  Love it!  Texted him a few days later to get on the Shelton build list, but still thinking Ramer or another Superior.

If it's the same bow I shot, Steve said it was about 56 at 31" my draw length. It's a shooter.

I'm guess it's not the same then. I would need a draw assist mechanism to draw #80. I bet it really sends an arrow.

I just talked with Steve today. He was telling me about the two pronghorns that he shot, great stories. I shot your bow Roger at the Compton shoot. It's pretty impressive, congratulations on your first kill with it    :thumbsup: . I really like my Whisper but I gotta have another Baraga. Steve is a great guy and builds top notch Bows.  #80lbs. Ha build mine between #45/#50 and I'm good to go.

Hey Roger.  Could you share the specs on your Ramer?  I'm wondering what length to order for a 28" draw.

I'm glad I had a chance to shoot it. It was silky smooth and very well mannered. Of course I only pull 26" but it was a pleasure to shoot    :thumbsup:
