Really nice looking bow.  I sure like a short bow for small game hunting.  I would love to see a pic of you at your full 28" draw.  I am having a hard time with the "no finger pinch"  Maybe you just have strong enough hands to handle the string angle and you have a very good release.  None the less that string angle has got to be pretty steep.  How about a full draw pic

First I've seen of his bows - a 50" longbow?  I do like the walnut accents in the osage riser - nice looking.

He is one fine craftsman, and a treat to shoot with. Last year he brought a real "drooler" bow into the camp at Baltimore. I was gonna show pics, but my external hard drive...the one with all my pics from the last couple of years  :scared:  is on the fritz. Dimmat.

If you are lucky enough to get a bow from Bill, you have something to be proud of! He has seen me shoot, so he never offers to sell me anything. Appearances, you know.  :rolleyes:

I don't think I'v heard him (or "of" him) offering to sell a bow of his. Doesn't mean he doesn't - just at the three or so shoots I've seen him at, and shot with him, and admired his bows at - I haven't heard him talk about it, come to think of it  :confused:  .

Tried about 20 times and my daughter kept missing me at full draw. I even held it for quite a bit waiting on her.

They are a Marine Corps "Issue", and Killie was a "Navy Brat" so she had access   ;)  . I'll loan you mine a while, Leroy - it appears I haven't been using it as much as I should have lately anyway -   :D    :knothead:

Hmmmm - lets see now, if I was to pull a gen-u-wine 51# @ 28" "Peckerwood Bow" between 26 - 27 inches only, it should come out close to 45# or less, huh? I'd rather it was 40-45# @ 28" (giving me a little more leeway for those "bad days") but that 51# @ 28" might just be do-able ...........    :goldtooth:    ;)

LOL - That's what I was thinking - but who am I to question your (unresonable) desires for improvement    ;)

(Actually it was all just a big scam to make sure you really wanted that purty bow - Bill told me to do that.)   "[dntthnk]"
