Nice collection Mike. I almost bid on the "Chickadee" when it was on the big auction site.

Figured I would show off my collection.  This is a rack that I bought prior to Christmas not knowing that my girlfriend was having one custom made for me.  I will get a pic of that up at some point.  For now, here's the collection.  
Wonderful collection Mike. You have some really nice pieces there. I really like that bow rack too.

I love my Schulz; however, it's my only bow so I don't have any more to show off. I'm pretty content with what I have for now.

Same here. I only have my Schulz now.

So far it has been bad luck though in the woods. The only times I have not seen deer are when it has been with me. I live in an area with a decent number of deer so it's odd when I don't see deer.

Tomorrow it's going with me though for the last day of the season. See if I can break that curse.

68" Kramer in the classifieds right now.  Soooo tempting right now on a Friday afternoon.  I've got to stop looking over there, it's killing me.

Good luck Kyle.  I think all of us can use a little positivity in our lives.  I know I sure as heck can.

I'm certainly excited.

I'll be ditching the bow quiver and donning my too small back quiver for the first time in a long while. We'll see how it goes!

OK new bow in the planing stages. What is the most classic Hill style,  riser wood,  glass color combo. Currently have bocote riser, black glass Wes. Spec. with dark brown wrap. Thinking myrtle riser with white glass???
Your thoughts??

Myrtle or shedua.   Myrtle is tough to beat!  I'd go black glass, or black on back and white on belly.  I've seen a green glass too, but Hill Archery may not have it.

I've got another Hill style bow in the house. My Misty Dawn came today! The mailman actually delivered it. No waiting in line at the Post Office.

It wasn't a good photo day, so I'll start with a photo of the specs with it alongside my N.M. Classic:

 

Not the greatest photo, but I'm hoping that tomorrow is nice enough to get some nice outside photos.

I did get to shoot it some after I re-did the serving to my liking. Shoots very well, very well indeed. Put in a few nice groups while I twittled a bit with the nocking point. It sends an arrow down range at a nice clip. I ran out of daylight before I could do a comparison with the Classic. Maybe tomorrow.

Overspined,

How long have you had that TD? Any problems with that sleeve. That's the next thing on my list.
