See ya Ugly Betty..Say hello to Medusa!
« on: April 02, 2011, 04:45:00 PM »
A while back, I picked up a ugly and field battered Big East TD with a selway leather quiver for a song at the swap meet at the BBTC. It wasn't anything much to look at and I nicknamed her "Ugly Betty", but she sure can shoot a arrow. I put some of those spandex camo limb cover on her and always considered getting her camo dipped. Then, David (YORNOC) came along offering snake skinning service and I said "hmmmmmm maybe skin her out?"

Well, one thing lead to another and David did a outstanding job not only skinning the limbs but he dressed up the weathered/worn quiver. I can highly recommend David's work! Very fair and a great guy to work with!

Can't call her ugly betty any longer....Let me introduce............Medusa!

Hard to believe that was ugly Betty at one time-touch of a masters hand.

If she can just get these darn jumpy Maryland deer to stand still for a second or two, I'll take care of the rest...

JR. made a nice bow... several of us worked hard with him to get him some biz sense, but to no avail.

I did find my personal bows (2) of them from him were actually 2.5 # heavier than marked.

Alas, they shot harder and faster than some their "weight".  Still a smooth, fast bow.
