Took my buddy's son out for the second CT youth turkey day this morning.He shot a nice tom last week and got a real beauty today. Stopped at the coffee shop and saw an old friend I haven't seen in years. We used to shoot 3-ds and hunt alot together. I told him I was starting to shoot trad bows again and he told me to stop over his house. I just got back from his house. He gave me my old shrew longbow,(red elm&rattlesnake backed.)He borrowed it atleast 10 years ago for a boar hunt and we both forgot about it.Asked me to try and sell his Herb Meland bow(I'll be posting it in the classifieds later) and gave me a Heritage archery Bridger mountain longbow to keep. It was a great morning,the kid got his bird and I got some bows.
Here's a pic of the bows.

Shrew is Elm limbs,54" 63@26
Bridger Mt.is cocobolo? riser,yew limbs.Black glass back,clear belly.Looks like a black glass or carbon center lam.64" 63@26
