PM me with an address Shaun.  Hope to see some Javelina or hog pics on the thread soon.  

Cool bow, I just picked up a 55# Halloween bow(Alaskan).  They are intersting no doubt, and kinda surprising shooters.

OK, here's set up #2

 

 

And the pair ready to go to Texas.

 

The quiver is a King and the arrows are "Arrow by Raulf", not all Bear, but a well matched set.

Trap, I don't expect a second freebee, put a couple extra feather rests in the first package and add in invoice. I need one for this bow and an extra.

What's that on the top of the last photo? Gotta go to town and will post about that project when I get back. Just a little playtime with osage and thoughts about old whatisname - Fred's bowyer.

Count me in! Got my '59 in this morning and first impressions tell me we are going to get along just fine...

That's awesome JL. what are the specs on the birthday girl?  Send me a PM with an addy, please.

That's a beauty Shaun, I would have assumed you would be hunting with that custom "Nimrod" back quiver.  

I can't wait till the harvests start piling up with these beauties.  

Rests will be on the way guys.

Finally took some time today to figure out the photo bucket thing. Hopefully these will work.
 
 
 
These are the 64" X 50# '59 I bought on the bay 3 weeks ago. The bow is perfect weight and smooth draw and release for me. No stress and the grip isn't even sweated brown (yet). Got Traps rest and a Raineman string. Too long for a turkey blind, but nice for still hunting in Maine this fall.
Now the bad..
 
I've super glued this tip for 50 shots but don't want to push it. Kurt sent some new tip material to make this beauty all she can be. Time to sharpen a knife and break out the dremel.  :bigsmyl:

Back from Texas and claiming the first "Happy Birthday '59" hunt and critter. I took this fine dog coyote last week near Odessa with the 44# Alaskan and a razorhead.

I hear ya about the bay, but I havent found any good stuff locally. The midwest seems to be Trad gear central.

Mostly glad I conquered the picture posting, (with a gentle prod from Trap)I really enjoy looking at all you guys pics and now I can share some.
