Early Christmas Present to myself. (Is that wrong?)
« on: December 18, 2010, 09:57:00 AM »
I have a new bow! I ordered it at Denton Hill from Leon Stewart. I picked it up yesterday.

It's a 3 piece takedown 55@28x60" Curly maple over bamboo cores on the limbs and chestnut and cocobolo colored diamond wood and whole bunch of other woods in the 14" riser.

I am stoked! I am posting pictures for the first time and I hope it is done correctly.

Oh yea, there is a compass in the stock: I mean riser...

 

 
 
 
 
 
 

Now on to matching arrows to the bow. Tim, another Tradgang member is going to help me. And boy do I need the help.

Merry Christmas to everyone!

Martin

Nice looking bow, great finish, and cool woods. I've never seen a compass put in that location. I think it looks good. I like the compass.

South MS Bowhunter,

It is a insert for a bow quiver. I am not sure which one I will purchase for this bow but I will have to be detachable. I have shot with the Selway slide over quiver for a while on my Bear Montana. I think I want to remove the quiver for this one.

Mudd,

I have not been a "good boy." You can ask my wife... I will try in the future. (:

Bowwild,

The compass is an option on all Leon's bows. It is a cool feature. When strung and carried by the bow string; it is easy to level the riser and follow the direction. I do carry a compass while in the woods but this will just make it easier.

Waknstak IL,

Lefties think in their right mind. ((: so...

Bjoin, Ed and Joe,

I don't think it will be under the tree. I want to shoot it now! ((: The woods are just perfect in the combination. At first I was not in love with the light colored limbs but that was only for a second. I didn't expect them. I left a lot up to Leon.

Thanks for the great comments. I am so excited to own this bow. I have a problem with handmade things. I appreciate the effort that goes into them. That usually means a greater cost then the mass produced stuph. Hence, I am not a good boy. ): My wife has no appreication for it all all.

Again,

Thanks!

Martin

Heck no it's not wrong.  I bought a RER LXR for my Christmas present 2 months ago.  Oh yeah, I told my wife it was from her.

To answer your question, it is not at all wrong!  Sweet looking bow.  Merry Christmas!  And don't wrap it up, it's too pretty to cover up.

Man that is a beauty of a bow. I miss my Leon Stewart! If you want a good side quiver for it, I loved the Anneewakee angle quiver. It fit perfect and gives good balance to the bow.   :thumbsup:    :clapper:

Wrong? Explain wrong.

Be sure to wrap it up and under the tree with it. Love from Santa. You're all excited on Christmas Day - "Santa got me a bow!" Great way to introduce "unnecessary" items into the house....

Carbonflyr,

I can help with posting pictures if you like. I found it to be very easy. I was unsure of how to size but it worked out anyway. Send me a PM and I will assist.
