Busy mail day! Pics
« on: March 15, 2010, 11:43:00 AM »
Got a few new bows to play with this week. If the rain ever stops I'll be out shooting them.

Northern Mist Ottawa 60" 53@28 Purple Heart I
 

Pitsley Predator 60" 42@28 Last Zebra Wood one made.
 

A couple of Fireflys. Both 62". 50@28 Birdseye and Bocote and 51@28 Dymondwood. Been wanting to try one of these.

Is your Birdseye Firefly upside down and backwards or a lefty?  

Love the Northern Mist - cannot go wrong with one of Steves bows and his recurves a rare gems

That whole bunch looks pretty good to me.

The Birdseye is flipped. It's a RH bow.

Hey Dave,
Congratulations on the Fireflies and the other beauties, too. I didn't make many recurves. I felt that my T/D longbows shot as fast and were quieter so I stopped making the curves. Those Firefly bows are about 5 years old.
