New NM Shelton followed me home

[David Mitchell]

Well, I had ordered a new Shelton from Steve several weeks ago and hoped maybe it would be ready for the Baltimore Classic even though that was pushing it.  He had not gotten to my order yet but he had a beautiful Shelton on the rack--just my length, draw weight, and it happened to be left handed--happy day!  I tried it out and decided that I really liked the look of this bow more than I did what I had ordered.  So....she came home with me.  I must say that the string follow design is the best shooting longbow I have shot.  I can't tell I'm losing anything in the performance area but it sure is sweet and smooth on release.  here are some quick shots of her--68", 51#@28", American elm limb coresd stained light brown, kingwood riser.

[Mudd]

I can see why you "took" it home with you. Ladys that pretty don't usually follow any man anywhere but we certainly can be led by the nose with beauty such as is shown here.

Congratulations! Thanks for sharing her with us.

God bless,Mudd

[Mudd]

I keep coming back to this thread and looking. I just might have to have some face work done to change my looks to those of a "Brad Pitt" to see if I can get one this good looking to follow me anywhere it wants..lol

I am in awe!

Thanks gain for sharing with us.

God bless,Mudd

[David Mitchell]

Mudd, the quick shots I took of the bow really do not do it justice.  Maybe you need to get a face lift to look like ME since I'm the one she came home with   :D   It was that, my glittering personality, or my cash that she responded to--couldn't be that could it    . Seriously, this is one sweet stick....Dave

[Mudd]

I guess I'll have to keep my eye open for one of these pretty's. Maybe one I could blind fold so it wouldn't squawk when I picked it up. One that's not too heavy, I like a slender weighted lady..lol

God bless,Mudd

My buddy, Plumber, picked up his new Shelton at the Baltimore shoot. A beauty for sure with some of Steve's new green glass. I had a chance to shoot it and was surprised how much I liked it. Never believed I'd like a Hill style grip and a string follow bow.

Well, you know I just had to go over to talk to Steve and see if he had a couple I could shoot. He had a 66" 58# Shelton with a Hill style grip that shot just awesome. I must have come back 3 different times to shoot it. I finally ordered one before I left on Sunday.

Anyone interested in a string follow bow should check out the Northern Mist Shelton.

Dave, how does the Shelton compare overall to his Classic ?? Thank You, Adam
