I Found A Fantastic Bargain Purely By Accident
« on: July 28, 2007, 08:40:00 AM »
Yesterday I clicked into the Traditional Classifieds, I thought.  Instead, I clicked into the Sponsor Classifieds.

As I scrolled down I saw a thread advertising one of Doug's prototype 3-Piece T/D Turkey Creek longbows for sale.  Suffice it to say the bow will soon be headed my way.  Below are pics of the bow.

Jake,

It was purely by accident that I clicked into the wrong forum.  The rest just kind of naturally flowed from there.      :biglaugh:

Bill - funny how our instinct takes over and a MO just miraclously appears in the mail for the exact amount of the new bow...  You have finely honed your bow buying skills for that kind of "natural" action to take place...Good for you.  :clapper:

Dean,

Thanks!  I'm looking forward to receiving it and shooting it.  As it stands right now, I'll probably have 2 T/D longbows and hopefully 1 T/D recurve for the hunting season.  If I don't receive the T/D recurve in time, this will be the first time my primary bow has been a longbow for hunting season.  But I'll be ready!

That bow was a great deal.  I'm surprised that it lasted as long as it did.  Good for you, Bill.  This one should keep you entertained until your Thermal comes!

Claudia,

I had no idea it was there.  Had I not hit Sponsor Classifieds by mistake, I still wouldn't know it.

And you are absolutely correct.  It was a fantastic deal.  And you know me I can't pass up a great deal on a bow.  Ahhhh, I'll say it, I find it hard to pass up a bow period!

I've been keeping my eye on the Turkey Creek threads and when I saw this 3-Piece T/D prototype, it doesn't look like one to me, I jumped on it.  Oh well, a man/woman can't have too many bows.  Most everybody agrees with that except my wife!    :biglaugh:

I touched it by accident in West Virginia. I was reaching for another bow on his rack, and my hand brushed against it. Sorry. It should prolly still shoot okay, though, just not quite as good as if I hadn't been near it.

And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend.

Killie,

Wow, thanks for the pic.  It is gorgeous.  I'm sure your touching it injected some Mojo into the bow!

It did that all right!
But, am I a good (um  :rolleyes:  ) witch or a bad witch?  :D

Congrats Bill that is an awesome bow. I was looking at it hard but hadn't put enough cash together. I have been wanting one of Doug's bows ever since he offered me one on a trade. I regret not doing it. I'll have one in the future for sure.

Bill good for you! That bow is a beauty and one of a kind.I too was tempted because I know from experience the quality of bow the man makes. I also was surprised it lasted as long as it did. Enjoy ,good shooting, and good hunting.

That's beautiful Bill, I'll bet that will drive tacks for sure.

I found a bargain of my own at Denton Hill during the swap meet.  It had a $100.00 tag on it and made by the guy who was selling it.  I asked him why so cheap and he said he couldn't get more because it wasn't a big name bow. He had made if for himself and shot it a few years. He made it from cherry and clear glass.  It shoots great and I now own it.  I think it's gorgeous.

The bow is a reflex design and 62", 59#@28.
