Red moon rising
« on: August 10, 2007, 09:41:00 AM »
Hi Friends,

Yesterday I went to Jim Godden shop to pick my new longbow  :)

Birdseye maple/ maple lams with cocobolo riser

 

 

 

Now I'll hit the road to vacation  :)

I've seen that bow before...before you actually!!! ;)

Very nice Manny, so? how does it shoot??? that 8125 padded loop string is the stuff eh? very slick.
I've been shooting very well with SweetPea, Jim does make a handsome, shootable bow yes?  :)

Have you ordered any hardwood shafts yet?? you will need them to go stumping with in Sept.

I was out there shooting her like a mad man during my vacation   :bigsmyl:  

no email/internet access where I was, pictures will be posted tonight.

She is fast, smooth, a joy to shoot.
A tiny bit loud with 530grs cedars, but I am sure that a tuning session with Cary and everything will be back in order!   ;)

you need heavier sticks Manny, they are too light, we'll get you set up with some 600 gr.+ hardwoods, that will quiet her down.
