Ric builds a great bow and that one is a beauty for sure!

     Enjoy!!

Pat,

Thanks!  Yes, Ric is quite the artisan.  His bows are great shooters to boot.

I've sold one recurve and I think I have another sold to make room for the Thermal.

I have one of his longbows but the Thermal is always in the back of my mind.  Nice bow!!

[WildmanSC]

For the prices he charges for his bows and the options he offers, Ric builds a fantastic bow at a very reasonable cost.  Features that others charge extras for, like second wood and accent stripes in riser, Yew laminations, clear glass, etc, are all included in Ric's basic price, for example, $595 for the Thermal.

Ohhh la la! That combo turned out sweet Bill! My Thermal is included in my avatar. Ric sure can put a bow together!

JL,

I've seen your Thermal in the Webshots assortment of bows Ric has built.  Unfortunately, the person who used to do his checkering is only doing gun stock work nowadays and it is no longer an option, or I would have it.  Your bow is a great looking bow, too.

Thanks!

Below is a link I found in a search of TG that shows a good selection of bows that Ric has built.  JL's Thermal is included, especially closeup views of the checkering on his bow.

Select the standard accents option to see a good selection of bows.  You can also check out Marriah Thermal 1 and Marriah Thermal 2 as well as the Marriah Chinook selection to see a good mix of bows with a good variety of wood combinations.

I took my Thermal to The Archery Shop today to shoot.  As ever, it was a pleasure to shoot.  I even shot it through the chrony and had a 5 shot average of 171 fps with fingers, 3 under.  That is not bad for a 46# bow shooting 504 gr arrows.  I LOVE my Thermal!!        :D

Ric made me a Chinook with a Shedua riser and black walnut limbs for me a few years back. He inserted two of my elk ivories in the riser (and wouldn't take any extra $ for it!). I also had the knife made to go with it. It's a beautiful combo.

He's truly a 1st class bowyer and more importantly, 1st class person. I'd recommend him to anyone.

I forgot to mention that I put a new bow on the string Saturday before shooting it.  CJC built a 6 strand 450+ flemish string for me with Halo serving.  It is a sweet and quiet shooting string and I haven't even put any silencers on it yet.

I just ordered a new set of Antler Limb Bolts from sticshooter to dress up my Thermal a bit.  Frank does beautiful work and I always like to get a set of his limb bolts when I get a new bow.  That is particularly so when I get one I plan on holding onto.

Danny,

Oops, you caught me!       That should have read "...I put a new string on the bow Saturday before shooting it."
