Hello,
The above message posted accidentally. Anyway, you say it seemed to fling a fast hard hitting arrow? I have a Howard Hill Archery catalog and have always wondered how their bows shoot. Now I am thinking of ordering me a bow from them. Did your buddy say was it smooth, much hand and between the shoulders shock, etc.?

The feedback he gave me was... nothing negative felt anywhere.
 I have sent an e-mail to another friend who has as much or more archery experience than I do asking him to drop by and shoot it for me. I know that Trap(DD) will know exactly what I'm looking for and want to know.
 I just hope he has time in his schedule to get with me soon..lol

I'm feeling a little like the impatient buzzard..."patience! Hell! I wanna kill something!"

God bless,Mudd

Mudd,
Look into doing "hindu pushups" for your rehab.  I swear by them to keep my shoulders in good shape for shooting, and I've been shooting 85#s for more than 18 years.  Google it to check out the correct form. BTW - I'm a big Hill fan as well.

I don't have half your reserve. Better be careful at least so you can come back stronger quicker. Told you didn't I Muddster? Killer bow!!!

Tommy Boy is right. I learned them as "Japanese Push Ups" but they are one and the same. Proper form is the key ------ no cheating!

Been doing them since 1973, and my 75 and 80 pounders still feel nice and light.

I cant believe you can keep from shooting it.  I would have had to shoot it at least once.

AND you can't shoot it until mid-January?  The clock is ticking!  You need a different doctor or something.

Congrats on the sweet bow - I hope it perforates all kind of game for you.

I have to ask you Robert.. what if that one shot cost me getting to shoot for years to come. With that in mind, I can live with being a Wuss. I can't or don't want to live without being able to do what I love.
I am stronger for it. But thanks for the encouragement.
God bless,Mudd

I called Craig and he had it in his records according to the serial number so I'm jumping to the conclusion that it was him.
 The bow will be 20 starting Jan 2010, It was originally sold at some big shoot/show in PA. Again I am making the assumption that means Compton.

God bless,Mudd

Come on now Charlie, you know every thing I know about it so give me your thoughts. Better yet drive over here and critique it for me..lol Yes, that does mean I'd let you shoot it..lol

You're giving me too much credit. LOL I'll give you a holler next time I'm in Columbia for a Doc's appt.

Would love to fling a few.
