Got me a NEW Bow (pics added on page 2)
« on: January 19, 2009, 02:00:00 PM »
About 3 months ago, I posted asking for info on Bowyers because I wanted my first Custom Bow.  The choices were tough and I finally decided to go with a Texas Bowyer after he got recommended by a friend of Mine.  Early December I called Bob Sarrels (www.sarrelsarchery.com) a new sponser here, and told him what I was looking for in a bow.  
He said that he could do something along the lines that I wanted, and did he ever.  I called him atleast once a week asking about my bow and he was more than happy to answer all my questions and put up with my nagging   :smileystooges:  
He pulled up and after a formal handshake he pulled the bow out.  My jaw dropped when he pulled the sock off.  
 
The mesquite veneers perfectly complimented the TX ebony riser.  
 
After I admired it for a little while he showed me how the bow-bolt works, WOW.  
 
That was friday evening.  Saturday after the morning hunt, I pulled it out of its sock, strung it and nocked and arrow.  
 
I have never before hit a target on the first shot with a strange bow.  After that shot, I knew I had a winner.  I asked my buddy to do some stump shooting with me for a few minutes and we took of along a dry creek bed shooting at anything and everything that we saw.  Felt like I had shot that bow for years   :archer:   .  The arrows flew true and all I lack now is some fine tunning to make this the most accurate bow I have ever shot.

The does were to smart for me this weekend and the only shot that was offered to me was by the biggest buck I had ever seen with a bow in my hand.  He was within easy range and I drew on him three times, too bad the buck season ended 2 weeks ago.  I came home empty handed, meat wise, but the bow was more than worth the trip.

Nice looking bow. When you get a chance, could you please post a photo of the entire bow fully string? I would like to see it from nock to nock.

I own 5 of Bob's bows with the latest being his brand new 3 pc Takedown recurve. It is a sweet shooter too.

Congrats on your new bow,

I finally dug out my camera and took some more pics of the bow.  Now I know what people mean when they say that pictures don't do the real thing justice.
