Not bad for the first day...
« on: January 29, 2008, 08:39:00 PM »
Just got this today.  I had ordered a Fedora a while back and was not happy with it.  I called Mike and talked to him, a few days later Jason called with a list of bows he was willing to trade with me to fix what I wasn't happy with.  Mainly a smaller grip.  We agreed on this one and all I can say is wow.  I shot a few arrows through it this morning, and put it up for the day. When I came home I shot a few different arrows through it.  I have not changed brace or nock point.  Backed up to thirty yards and this was three different arrows.  
   .  Yea I need a new target.

Beauty of a bow. Nice to see that your woodies (even the unstained stumpers) shoot the lights out of a carbon! And yes, you did get the Creating a Human part absolutely right. He is cute!

Ezekiel is 2 years and 4 months.  He shoots the bow with Daddy nearly every day.  I hope he enjoys it as much as I do.  I sure am blessed!

Now if you can put them all three in a line like the first two that'd really be sumthin!  Good shooting and a beautiful bow. You bringing it to G"ville this Sunday?  Bill  I wonder if anybody has ever done a triple Robin Hood?

I don't think it will matter as good as you shoot JC.  Looking forward to the shoot this weekend.  Pinenut, you might try to take it from me when I bring it Sunday.  Sure was one lucky shot, a blind hawg finds an acorn now and again.
