Great Find in My Bow Pile

[tippit]

Two things...I've been reducing weight in a lot of bows recently and gong thru my bow pile, I just found a treasure I totally forgot about...Super Shrew Scout Lil' Favorite 54" 45#@28 by Gregg Coffee brand new/never shot.  I remember I broke one of these bows...well actually it was on the trunk of my car and I accidently ran over it backing up   Anyway back to the future, It is now too heavy for me as I need 40# maximum.  So it looks like it will be slated for my knife grinder if I don't sell it...tippit

I have to LOL on this !!!  You have so many bows you stumbled upon one your forgot about and never shot 


Pretty hybrid longbow!

I am glad to know I'm not the only one who occasionally find bows they had forgotten about......this gives me hope!

[tippit]

It's an honest mistake as you get older sometimes you aaa yes forget. Hope I remember I once shot stick bows.

Ya know Jeff, it sounds like you have too many bows.
I tell you what, you send that bow to me and I'll dispose of it safely and properly. 

[tippit]

Pine,
I appreciate your concern for me.  Let me mull that offer over a bit

"My Bow Pile".... what a beautiful sounding phrase!

[Wudstix]

And I thought there was a mess in my garage I only misplace broad heads and bow strings.

Ive done the same with trail cameras.  Its like Christmas all over again.  Great find.  Beautiful bow.  Guess u could just shorten ur draw a bit:)

[tippit]

No it would be very easy to take 5-10 pounds off...probably what will happen once the shock of finding it wears off.

[Wheels2]

I would seek professionals to reduce the draw weight.

I think Tippit is quite capable/knowable and a professional to do the job. He's been doing it for a while now and they are his bows. Good luck and keep us posted.

Jeff IS a professional at this with all he has done, and done successfully... he just doesn't get paid! 

If you can find it, there is an old thread here someplace about the method and painstaking effort he puts into reducing weight on his bows.  I was really impressed with his results and craftsmanship.

I would love to see this thread about how Jeff does it, any help here would be appreciated?

When I first read the line about it being destined for your knife grinder if you don't sell it, I very nearly had a heart attack, as I interpreted that to mean you would be chopping her up for knife scales. I though quarantine had turned ya right mad, haha.

Nice find Tippit, don't grind away too much, eh.

[KSCATTRAPR]

Oh thats a dandy little bow!

[beemann]

Thats a sweetheart of a rig.  Reminds me of a metal handled black widow HS I bought on eBay for a carp rig.  Had two sets of limbs and the guy swore he found it in his safe.  Claimed it was never shot cuz he forgot about it.  I figured "yeah right",    when it arrived it was perfect.  Way to nice to beat the hell out of it as a carp rig.  Sounds like it could have come form your bow pile.

Jeff,
...or, you can send it to me.  I won't dispose of it at all....nor will I run over it, lol.  I didn't know Ron's warranty covered acts of terrorism.  Looks just like a 60" osage Super Shrew I once had.
