WOW, more great looking bows!
Roy, I didn't answer right away because I was looking for an emoticon that's holding it's nose. Molsons?! To be honest, half of our carry weight on the way up is Coors - it's manly enough for Canada.    
You'll need a helicopter to reach our camp if you fly. It's off a secluded bush road in north west Ontario, not too far from the Manitoba border. It's almost an hours' drive to re-supply with beer, or to replace a forgotten moose tag.                Not me, one of the other guys.

Brushwolf the Mosaic in that riser is awesome Bud !!!!


Pete thats a nice bow.  She bends nicely


Kenny I like worms Just send it already

[Pete W]

Thanks guys, it is bending much nicer now that I scraped it in the parking lot and shot it more.
It is made from a stave of Hop Hornbeam I picked up in New Brunswick 2 years ago.This is the first bow from the 4 staves I got. The color is natural with tru Oil on it.
 I am not a big fan of stains and like to see wood as it realy is.
 I need to do some more finish sanding and oil coats on it now. I  hate to send it off.

Good looking bow Buck,nice profile.

[Dmaxshawn]

Buck Thats a beautiful Tri-lam!!!!!!!!!   maybe one day I can have one of those.

[rmorris]

Buck that is a good looking bow!

[Pete W]

I started with a couple inches Reflex in the Hop Hornbeam  before shooting and final tiller adjustments. Friday it was strung and shot for about 6 hours, many many arrows went over it.
 After resting unstrung for a day it has about 1/4" reflex left in it. I am happy.

 

[canopyboy]

Buck, that is an awesome trilam.

Brushwolf, that riser is phenominal.

I think I may wait awhile, so that mine doesn't get directly compared to the likes of what we've seen so far.  But I'm scared they'll just keep getting better and I'll be in more trouble...
