Ok guys, I’ve inspected the bow and everything is good. I had to do some minor touch ups but nothing major. I will get a new finish on it by next week and ship it off to the next guy in line
Skeaterbait your up next!!
Please send me your information again so I can make sure I have everything right before I ship it.

Ok guys, sorry for the delay. I ran out of sealer right in the middle of spraying this bow along with a few others.  Bad timing and planning on my part .  :banghead:
I just sprayed the final coat of dull this morning and I will Get it boxed up this weekend and ship it out first thing Monday morning. Skeeter should have it sometime next week and we’ll get this ball rolling again!

Alrighty Ladies and Gents...

The bow arrived on Saturday and I have to say... it shot lights out right out of the box. Love the feel of this bow in my hand. Had I shot this bow 4 years ago when I was looking for my first custom bow... I likely would not have my Black Widow PCH recurve that has been my goto bow for killing critters since.



After shooting a set of arrows... I felt good about the bow and decided I needed to kill a hog with it.



So, here I am at my lease... it is hotter than a chilli pepper and I am about to head out and try to snag a hog this evening and/or tomorrow morning. I will update as I can.

More importantly, Randy is one heck of a stand up guy, honest and has a quick turn around time.  Makes a damn good bow also......

This was my group right out of the truck... cannot and will not complain (was right just under an inch too.)



Sweating to death! This is how highly I think of this bow already.

This bow needs a name. Whatever that name turns out to be... I am gonna call it "Thumper".

A small story about myself. My handle is swamprabbit because that is the first animal I killed (other than fish). I started hunting in my 30s and a fella from church heard that I was trying to learn to hunt so he took me out to east Texas and we went squirrel hunting. I didnt see a squirrel that morning, but that afternoon, I did see a rabbit. A swamp rabbit. That primordial instinct kicked in and the hunt was on. I had to track it down and shot it with a .22

My nickname/handle for hunting will always be swamprabbit.

I have killed plenty of rabbits with my bow since... I will not pass up a shot on a rabbit.

My new lease has the opprotunity to be a rabbit heaven... but it hasn't panned out. I have seen one or two on trail cams at night only.

This morning as I was walking trails for hogs, I saw some deer and twin fawns... but no pigs.

I decided to check a trail that I had remowed and as I came around the corner, I caught glimpse of something in a tuft of grass.

When it turned its head I knew it was a cotton tail... better yet, a swamp sized cottontail. The bow drew so smooth... I swear I could have been drawing my 4 year old friend (I will have to not tell my greenleaf this story.)

"THUMP!!!!". The arrow hit its mark... the spot between the head and shoulder.



I am not gonna get another chance to hunt with thumper before my time is up... which kinda bums me out... its a sweet shooter for sure and it can drill a rabbit easily at 12-15 yards. Without having shot it but 2 arrows yesterday.

Rabbit and dumplings.

Braised



And then slowcooked for 8 hours.



This by far was the most tender rabbit I have eaten.

Thanks Randy for making a critter killer that is so easy to shoot... I could put food on the table after only a few shots out of the box.
