Back in December I asked Curt(Idahocurt) of Hunter Bows to make me a special recurve. But those that know me know that I usually dont buy a bow until I shoot one first. Curt said no problem. He sent me a brand new bow to test out. I was impressed. So the details began. We had the woods and such picked out and was waiting for the foam to come in when Curt threw in a wrench. I originally picked out black walnut for my riser. Well Curt got a call from a guy about some special walnut that is kinda hard to get. It's called Bastogne Walnut. Knowing Curts excellent choice in woods I told him to have at it and make the bow. So after about 20 emails and as many calls my bow began.
Ok, on 3-9-12 I reported that my new bow was on it's way. Well, because of a minor issue,there was a brief delay. Curt is a perfectionist and decided he wanted to make me a new set of limbs. I didn't mind waiting. Fast forward to this past Saturday.
Now, the original limbs were some crazy looking veneers but Curt did not have any of those left. He said those words-"Mike,trust me.I have some veneers that will knock your sock off". Again I told Curt to have at it. I would have never expected what I received in the mail this past Saturday. Thanks Curt,you did good bud.
I like to put names on my bows that relate to the Marine Corp. This one would be no different.
Folks, meet Iwo Jima!!!
