Raptor Archery - Sneak Peak

[SecondSeason]

Passing through Hood River yesterday I got a sneak peak on something Ted has been working on in his Super Secret Santa Shop.  Not only was I able to see what he was working on he encouraged me to take it outside and shoot as many arrows off of it as I wanted.  I figured it out as the 5 arrow left the bow what he had in mind---I was hooked.
 
Being fairly new to archery it was news to me that Ted used to make a different type of Bow something called the Signature.  Well let me say WOW what a beautiful bow and does it shoot nice-and fast.
 
One thing I have learned about Ted is that he will just put this up for sale without as much as a "Hey everyone take a look at my new bow".  Someone that knows and appreciates American made, high quality products should take a look at this.  Mine is on order as we speak.  Merry Christmas everyone.

Yeah this post is worthless without pics.

I will say this, I've done business with Ted for at least 7 years and always been very pleased, he will go out of his way to make sure you are happy.

That makes me a life long customer.

OK Treb, thanks buddy , guess the cat is out of the bag.I will make sure that a large Yew log falls on you as you walk in the door next time you are in town.
Pictures yeah , I wish I could , we had a break in three weeks ago, no worries they caught the SOB!
But one of the items he took was the camera I use to upload pics to the web page.
Hopefully they will give me back that soon.
I will try to upload a few over the weekend with another camera.
However for now I can tell you , yes I am making the Raptor Signature longbow again and yes its me thats making it .In a nutshell , yew limbs under clear glass with elk antler tips and a radius cut laminated forward set riser in 60", 62" and 64".
Even the 60" and 62" bow pulls like a longer bow due to the limb design.
Fast flight compatible deflex/reflex flatbow.
Pics soon as well as on the web site.

Yeah , I know , still no pictures .
I have to get out and cut bow wood today, I will drag a bow along and find a good spot to take a couple of pictures.
I will try to load a few tomorrow.
Its my day off but we have late snow this year so I need to be out cutting for next years wood, plus I just need a day in the woods.

[Ted Fry]

OK here is at least a picture to get you excited. I will get more on our web site as well as our facebook page as well when time permits.
The one on the right is osage and black walnut riser with stippled grip and yew under clear glass with antler tip overlays, next one over is Yew and black walnut riser with antler overlay back and belly with yew under clear glass with antler tip as well, far left is osage and black walnut riser with leather grip and yew under clear glass with antler tip overlay.
More to come and will be up on the web site by the first of the year.
