Wasp meets Grizzly

[Bud B.]

My daughter wanted to get her bo a bow for Christmas. We searched the local CL and she found this for a steal.

Grayling Grizzly with walnut riser, black glass, white tips. 58" 45 @ 28

   

 

While searching I came across an advertised LH Wasp. I send emails and exchange phone calls and agree to drive the 45 miles. I got there and it was a RH bow. The guy says, "It fits the left hand." I put on a display of disappointment, which I truly was as I have been looking for a LH Wasp, and he dropped the price to well below 50% of his original price. It's 56" and 45 @ 28

Anyhoo, with two different transactions today Fred met John.

I took the Wasp out and shot it. It slings a 3555 with a full length shaft and 145gr tip rather sharply. Makes me think I may try to go amphibious on this bow shootin and huntin gig. I like the feel of the Wasp.

Two old bows that will likely see hunting days again next fall.

I have a Wasp I use for bowfishing/backup and it really shoots/hits with authority. They're great bows.

The green shelf blob is an old wool Army blanket piece sewn together and glued on. i haven't tried removing it yet. I hope it comes off OK.

2 solid hunters rescued in one day. Good stuff!

I worked on the Bear shelf this morning. Don't know what kind of glue he used to glue the wool on but it didn't want to come off. I lost a little sheen on the original finish.

 

It came with the old Kwikee suicide quiver and vintage camo limb covers; Also three 2018 vaned arrows with vintage 4 blade Satellite broadheads on each.

 

I just shot a group of five field points from the old Bear from the front porch this rainy morning.

I do believe I could go RH at close range with more practice. That opens up a whole other side of bow potentials....    :D

I love my wasp and my griz's. I had to choose one of my bows to give to my bro for his birthday on friday.   I chose my lh wasp 47#. It was a tough decision but I felt the wasp was a great decision for a first trad bow.  Excellent finds.
