New Bow Pics (and not just new to me!)
« on: April 10, 2008, 11:00:00 AM »
Well here it is. The Brand New Martin DreamCatcher. 45# on a 60" AMO. It's a long story on how I got this bow that I won't go into here. Those coming to Baltimore Bowmen Classic in May can hear the story and shoot the bow.

I have always heard the Dreamcatcher was a good shooting bow but don't remember ever shooting one. They sure are fine looking bows and it looks like your shooting it pretty good.

We should have shotguns for this kind of deal.

Those Dreamcatchers are pertty for sure.

I always wondered how they would look in different exotic woods like ebony and cocobolo, or bocote and zircote.

Killie - See it's like this - I tried to prop the bow up against the target and it kept sliding down. I couldn't get in to stay still. So I goes to the 15 yard line and fired a perfect group of 2 and then another perfect group of 2 just wide enough for me to prop the bow up in between.

"They are man made braces."
  :help:    :notworthy:  

And that is why this mere gurrrllll was not able to visualize the concept, nor would I be able to do the physics to estimate how many arrows would be necessary to handle the task, nor would I be able to execute its construction.

I will have to bring tribute to Baltimore, although I know it will not be worthy. :notworthy:

Bill, I just got time to catch-up on the posts here and I see you're still BOW-hunting! You got yourself a beauty there. I've always thought those Dreamcatchers were amoung the best lookin' bows.
BTW, I want it noted that I offered to try an "Intervention" with you before you got past the point of no-return with this Trad thing. LOL! Nice thinkin' and shootin' to double-hole those arrows perfectly to hold the bow up for the great pics. Glad you're havin' fun!!  :clapper:
