I am the proud new owner of a bow made by Boswell. 58 1/4" long, 52# @ 28" perfectly tillered, and all ready to go hunting with me. Now I just have to get me ready.
I hope the link works this time. I've been fighting with technology since yesterday (and losing). I apologize for the lousy pictures, I'm not good with cameras either.
Thank you, Bobby, it's exactly my kind of bow. I promise to treasure it and take good care of it, and USE it. Rob

Rob,
I am glad that you like it and that it made it to you safely! That bow was by far my best tillering job yet. That knocking point that is on there is not on there really tight. Just used it to shoot it in.

Thanks
Boswell

I got this one last week... I've been really busy and only shot it about 20 times but it's a shooter. Built by Pearl Drums.

Took these with my phone at night I need to get better pics to post. Supper nice bow you couldn't ask for a better one that's for sure.

Boswell, no wonder that's your best tillering job yet. I don't see how it could be better.

Whoooohoooo!!!! I have a slip of paper that says Keenan sent me a package!!!! I'm itchin to go to the Post Office!!! Keenan you were the one who inspired me to skin a carp. I can't believe you made a bow for me. I'm so excited I can't even work now I have to wait till break though and then I'm out of here!

Keenan · « **Reply #3129 on:** August 22, 2012, 10:52:00 AM »

Been wondering when that was going to get there. I chuckled when I read some of your post about the carp skins. That bow was very challenging and seemed determined to test me in every way! Especially the skins. :rolleyes: I hope she lives up to your expectations.

Cuban Missile · « **Reply #3130 on:** August 22, 2012, 10:56:00 AM »

Well I just ran over there and I guess there is a shuttle from the main sorting place to the post office and it hadn't arrived yet... So now I am going to be running back on the lunch break. I hope the boss doesn't get mad at me for being mentally gone!

Wow!!!

Love these bows!!!

Cuban Missile · « **Reply #3132 on:** August 22, 2012, 02:11:00 PM »

NO WAYYYY!!!! KEENAN!!! THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED! Perfect Poundage too!!! I'm going to try to use this for the season.

I have never had to tune an arrow to a bow like this so I have to work on that first... Well after I fix what the Post office broke... :(

Now for the sad news. They broke off one of the tips so no shooting it today. I don't have any buffalo horn to match. I'll also have to do some cutting and sanding to fix it. Pics to come.

But regardless of the break I am already in love with this bow!

Its ERC with what looks like horn nocks ( well I gues its nock now) and backed with two layers of rawhide and buffalo carp skin on top.

She is quite the Looker! You guys need to see this handle wrap! Work of art! I mean at least I get to look at it for a while before I start shooting it! I would like to say im speachless but... I can't stop talking about it. I had to take it back from my dad. He was starting to drool a little.

Cuban Missile · « **Reply #3133 on:** August 22, 2012, 03:15:00 PM »

Hmmm... Where would I find a good size piece of Horn?

Cuban Missile · « **Reply #3134 on:** August 22, 2012, 03:41:00 PM »

Another question does any one know how to claim USPS insurance?

Roy from Pa · « **Reply #3135 on:** August 22, 2012, 05:33:00 PM »

What color horn Javier? I have black I could send you. Pictures of what ya need?

Keenan · « **Reply #3136 on:** August 22, 2012, 06:39:00 PM »

I have some more of that Horn. It's white/black ram horn. It was insured but really wondering how it got dammaged. Was the end of the tube damaged?
And two light layers of sinew, not rawhide then the carp skins

WestTexan · « **Reply #3137 on:** August 22, 2012, 06:45:00 PM »

Javier from what I went through last year Keenan will have to file since he's the one that sent it. All my dealings were with FedEx so it my be a bit different but I'm pretty sure it's up to the sender. Dang the luck.... Hope things work out.

red hill · « **Reply #3138 on:** August 22, 2012, 06:51:00 PM »

Javier, I was lucky enough to receive a bow from Keenan last year. You are a lucky man, friend!

In fact, I just finished shooting my Keenan bow a few minutes ago. I love mine, too!
And, Keenan, I intend to try for blood with that bow again this year since I didn't score last year.

Keenan · « **Reply #3139 on:** August 22, 2012, 06:53:00 PM »

Javier, let me know what you want I can shoot out some more horn in the mail or file claim depending on what you want to do. Can you use the tip or is it broke? Did it dammage the wood of the tip? Please feel free to give me a call. I'm heading out to elk camp in the morning but will stick around to mail or do what ever you need Bro. (541) 815-0480
