Welcome Chris! You're in great company with David!

Love them Browning Wasps! I had one as a hunting/shooting partner for a couple years and enjoyed its company a lot!

Great show Dave and welcome green mountain friend. You can't ask for a better instructor so listen close to him. Also that glove is hard to resist isn't it? One shot with Dave's and ordered one myself.

How's that Cari-Bow treating you TJ. I got a Tuktu Diamond this week that I have yet to get pictures of.

Chris, Welcome! I'm another one who has been helped by Dave, and took home a "WALLY"! Yes, even though I live in Ohio, I visited Dave and his famous "Wall of Arrow Crippling Stone".

Brother Dave, you rock!!

Good on you Robert!!

Good on you, Dave - way to go!  Another archer properly shown the merits and fun of trad archery/bowhunting.

A year ago I snagged a mint 32# Browning Wasp for my youngest daughter (38!) who wanted to join Dad in roving the back woods and get away from her kids a few times a month   :D  .  The Wasp is a great little bow ...

Dave, it's treating me fantastic. Sometimes I don't know what I did to deserve a bow like this (besides making the payments lol). It is the best thing I own.

Now get pics up of that bow!    :D  More incentive to come up this spring

I was a little surprised at how well the Browning shot Rob.

Those wasps are smokers. I owned one and it was one of the fastest bows I ever shot. It was within 8-10 fps. of my Morrison and RER bows. I kick myself for selling it, but I know who has it, so one day. Nice pics. and the elbow is only and inch or so high. Shawn

Welcome aboard, Chris. Most of my family line hailed from VT (after they crossed over from Ireland and then filtered away from the big city to the Green Mountains), including my Ma and Pop. Dave has done a(nother) good thing here and sorry I didn't see it sooner. He gave me a heads-up today when he called me on the tellejingle just to say, "Hey" I bought a number of those Wasps (about 5 or 6) and resold them while i was doing that when working at a local Archery Shop. I liked every one of them, they needed very little "cleaning/fixing" up, and everyone who got those were happy with them. I'm sure you will be too, Cris - Best of luck with it. I will have your Full Draw pic posted on my web site later today (after my nap - LOL). You can visit the page it's on (below) later today (and check out the whole site when you get time - most folks like it).   :wavey:    :archer:

I'm in Rutland. If you want to come up and shoot some time give me a hollar.

Shot some more with Chris today. He took the lessons to heart and fixed his elbow to boot. I'm real glad he has his own arrows now. lol He doesn't have to worry about the wall anymore but I see many broken nocks in his future.
