Eye Candy from Rodney Wright
« on: March 11, 2010, 11:29:00 AM »
Just got my new Stalker Recurve last Friday.  Monday, I am going to have my left hip replaced, and I had hoped that it would be ready when I came home from hospital.
Rodney surprised me, and had it ready early so I have been shooting it this week and planing for next Fall.
Shoots where I look, and is really quiet and plenty fast for me.
I wanted something to improve my ground game...plan to hunt from a chair and ghillie suit.
Rodney really helped me with the woods, hand fitted the riser, and made me a dandy little bow.
 
Pulled to 30" @ 55#...
 
Finished at 51# @ 28, and is smooth out to my 26.5" draw.  It measures 39" nock to nock.  Imagine that.
 
Pacific Yew and Green Mt. Action Camo limbs, Gray actionwood and cocobolo riser
 
My third Eye....Thumb and finger hit iside of top ridge every time.

Really beautiful with the yew and the action wood.  Congrat!  Is it some kind of antler glue on to the side of the top ridge?

I had to share this, because at my age, this is the only eye candy, other than my beautiful Life Witness, that I can put my hands on.

I really like the colors!!!!!! Great looking!!! I had a Herters perfection 46". Very similar bow and liked it quite a bit. Have fun brother.
