.....and so it's legacy will continue! What a story this bow will be able to tell.....and perhaps for your son to be the one telling it when it is his bow maybe one day! Awesome and glad to hear "Timex" is still tickin'!

You are very lucky not to have trashed that bow...I think you need to call Jack, have him make you a Timex II and just put it away..........you know, for that rainy day!

ROFF 10X....
I remember when Curt bought "Timex" from me. I was just as excited as Curt when I called him to pick up his bow.
What did he do when he strung it in my shop....DROPS THE BOW ON MY SHOP FLOOR!!!! OMG..
We both held our breath.... :eek:
Luckily the bow made it through that ordeal, then he shatters the limb on Shawns Bunny Hunt...strike two! Now this....the bow has 9 lives Curt...don't worry...just string it up and go hunting...

thank goodness it was on soft ground and not asphalt.
Basinboy, a member here, had a bow fly out of his boat while trailering it. He got lucky and someone returned it to him.

That's one tough bow.
Just adds a little more character to it. As much abuse as that bow has absorbed and kept on going, Cade will be passing it down to his children.

You are a VERY lucky man. Several years ago I placed my custom Keith Stegel-French walnut stocked 30/06 on top of my Jeep...It came off the roof at 65 mph and DID NOT survive!! Everytime I think of it I still get all choked up. :( -(there is not a sufficient emoticon to describe how I feel...)

Good to hear that the bow survived. I often have admired and envied you young guys who hunt so hard without sleep.
Now, I think maybe my "sleep first" policy might have merit...
