Compton's Surprise
« on: June 29, 2011, 09:08:00 AM »
On June 16th, I arrived at Compton's to help set-up the Stalker Recurve booth and deliver South's bows. I saw Chuck Deshler(TwoTracks) and asked him when he was going to start on my new bow. It seemed he had been putting me off for several weeks about building me a "Pure Michigan" Longwalker. I had bought Chuck's personal Longwalker at Grayling last year and REALLY liked it. But... it had a lot of osage in it, and I'm just not an Osage fan. So....

I had asked South Cox to send me the cutouts from my new Stalker Longbow so I could have a knife made. The wood never showed up, South always seemed to be putting me off. Unbeknownst to me Chuck had formed a conspiracy with South and KHALVERSON(Kevin) to have the wood shipped to Chuck, and Chuck shipped it to Kevin, and this was the result. First. the bow:  
The knife:

Mike,

Sweet bow (that streak is one of a kind)!  Now that you are pro-staff you will have to kill something with big antlers for the hero pic.    :D

Thanks Chuck, Kevin, and South! Compton's falls on my birthday and Father's Day weekend and I had an amazing weekend. New bow, new knife, old friends, and my new boy Jordan to shoot with! Just doesn't get any better than that!

Will, I would love to shoot ANYTHING, my hunting has been poor the last few years! Chuck and Bill Dunn have a "Special" ProStaff and I was lucky enough to be included    :bigsmyl:   That is really a pretty bow and I can't wait to shoot something with it!

What very nice surprises!

Congratulations!

God bless,Mudd

PS: A thought to ponder on.... why is it that when most of us(me included)find ourselves in a position of no knowing something our minds almost always look for the "there must be something wrong" place instead of trusting.. I'm just asking?
