Here it is. And so light I think I have been bamboozeled. There is no way this is a bow.

The gentle curve of the mild D/R. This is what has been calling me.

Just enough character in the wood, yet overall a dark bow that screams business.

A nice touch, also pretty enough to cause the deer to stop and admire it long enough  for me to get a shot.

Well, that was my journy to opening my first "new" bow.  It was thrilling, exciting and a little nerve racking comming from a recurve. Wondering if ill be able to make the transition to longbow.  I have shot maybe 50 arrows through her so far, and I am loving it.

She draws like a 40# bow, but she is 56#@28 66" long.  A little thump in the hand, but I like it. Kinda like feedback on what I am doing right or wrong.  She throws and arrow like its no bodys business. I mean buries it in the target.  

Super light in the hand, the grip seems no bigger than the handle on a louiville slugger. Very slight locater in the handle.  the leather is sooooo soft.  

I shoot 3 under with my recurve, but this green beauty doesnt seem to like it for some reason.  But 3U is what I am familar with.  I have been shooting it split and 3U to see what I may like the best.  There is some getting used to, but I think after a couple of weekends together we will get acclimated to each other.  

Thank you for comming along with me on this journey

Outstanding.  I have a Shelton in the green glass.  I really love colored glass...reminds me of the early days in archery.
