Christmas Came Early....
« on: December 16, 2017, 11:06:00 AM »
Late yesterday afternoon, long after my regular mail delivery my doorbell rings and there is the mailman holding a package I needed to sign for. Knowing exactly what it was I couldn’t wait to get it in the house and open it. lol and behold it was my TallTines Stickflinger. Immediately put it together and strung it up, but unfortunately it was too dark to take it out to shoot.
That is until this morning. I braced it up to the recommended 7” placed a tape nock on the string and took my new “toy” outside. It feels great in the hand and is so smooth to draw. It effortlessly came back to anchor and before I knew it my GT 3555 was sticking in the target exactly where I wanted it. Then another and another. Everything guys have been saying about this bow is true...smooth,fast, quiet , zero hand shock and dead on accurate. Thank you Santa aka Brian Wessel!
Here are a couple of quick pics I took last nite when I got it unwrapped.

Santa Always stops by your house before everyone else's Fred !     :p     I was probably the first person he showed pictures to yesterday and I text him yesterday several times asking him "Is it there yet" and How about now ?
  I know Fred was pacing the floor and watching the windows because he had a "very limited" time frame to get it unpacked, put a old quiver on it and put it on his bow rack to 'blend" in with his others Praying his wife doesn't notice it lol.
  I told him it would be funny if she took a picture every so often and then compare it with what is on the wall to see if any thing looks different or new !
  Then she will then   :biglaugh:  
  A very nice looking bow Fred and Congratulations not only on the new bow But getting it hung on the wall before she got home !
