Zebra Pronghorn
« on: July 15, 2009, 10:42:00 PM »
I picked up this Bow last Feb. and I've wanted to post it; mainly for Herb Meland, who is a mighty fine bowyer indeed. It is all Zebra with action Boo cores 62 inches and 53lbs @ 28 and very smooth and fast. I shoot 32 inch 340s with 300 grains up front off of it at a 29 inch draw with the broom handle riser. I love it.
And in case you wondered; these shots were taken at the Natrona County archery range on Casper Mt, south of Casper. It is a nice range with two 3D loops and a normal spot target range. Just don't miss cause there's rocks everywhere. Great place to a acclimate it is right under 8000'.

SUUWEEET!!!!!!
Target archery is seeing how far away you can get and still hit the bull's eye. Bowhunting is seeing how close you can get and never miss your mark.

Josh, I'm pretty sure that this bow has a working layer of Zebra on the back and the belly, not just veneers. Zebra is actually a pretty good limb wood.

That is a *nice* TD Pronghorn AF1!

I hope to get a TD in the future when I finally get the opportunity to travel for some PORK.

Have a great 2009 hunting season!

If it does than they are nice lams...if not they are nice veneers.

Either way WOW is the grain cool!
