I know I am a selfbow man,,,, But,,,,,

[Osagetree]

That's right,,, BUT,,, when does a selfbow man get to shoot and hunt with a Bob Lee Signature takedown longbow?

By gosh I get to this year!!!

Mickey may get shook up by this after his recent thread about going back to high tech, but I am going to use some glass this year.

My newest bestest buddy Brent aka "hormoan" has been too nice to me. (Although,, it may be a conspiracy to convert us selfbow men!)Look at what Brent sent me for my very own.

 

It was well known that for the past few months I have been wanting to try a good glass longbow and our good friend Brent took it upon himself to send me his Bob Lee Signature bow. WOW,,,, I say! Where else could you find such empathy for your fellow man than your good friends on the Trad Gang?

This beautiful bow is 52# @28" and smokes the POC's. Here is my first few shots on video!

 

I thought the osage shavings was a good contrast for the pics... look at this riser,,, SWEET!

 

I understand Brent made his first trad kill with this bow. Can you tell us more about the bow Brent? Where did you come across it? What brace hieght did you use? What animals were taken with the bow? What kind of woods in it? Please fill in some more info!

This is like Christmas in August!!!!
 

I can not say enough to hormoan for his gracious gift... I am forever in his debt and many others here not mentioned!

Believe me,,, I intend to update this thread very soon with a big ole whitetail!!!!

Overlays
 

On top of the osage for a while
 


THANK YOU AGAIN BRENT! I'm crazy happy!!!    

I got to go for now, but I will be smiling for a week wherever I have to go!

[the Ferret]

Crap..what have I started?

Joe..I didn't mean it buddy. I was just kidding.

Oh man, I've led a perfectly good osage man astray.

Think about it.."Fiberglasstree" just doesn't sound right.

Holy moly    :rolleyes:

[whitebuffalo]

WOW,, Buddy that there is a nice bow,,Looks like your gettin it dialed in too,, Great of ya Brent for helpin a fella out,,J

I hope he see this and responds with the stories.

[sticshooter]

Joe you got what you deserve! Hormoan you are one of a kind! Nice bow my friend.<><

[vermonster13]

You deserve it Joe with all the bows you give the kids. Good on you Brent for helping a brother out.

[4runr]

Congrats Joe!!

Good on you Brent!!

[hormoan]

OK lets get this record straight     I was only a cog in the wheel. There truly is some one else to blame for your falling off the osage wagon     Will the real responceably party step forward, is what I'm wondering. Well he like's to lurk around in the shadows, so maybe not. But he does alot to promote our passion! Just as you do Mr. Weed\\OsageTree   :D   you getting so many kids started and shooting. They are the blood of our sport, osage and so many other fine woods. And our children, and most of all anyones children. So for that we all thank you, you do get a gold star (osage if thats OK!)    :D  


Questions you have,

I can tell you I purchased this bow used from a Worden off our traditional bow site. And it did help me harvest my first traditional bow kill. Other than small game, it got to go on the Texas Sweat hunt 07
 

I can only hope it gives you the joy it has me.

[Huntrdfk]

I know from where you speak Joe, I hung up my selfbows this spring for a glass recurve that now shares my bow rack with three pieces of tillered osage.....I still string them up and shoot them once in awhile though, just so I don't forget.....good for you Brent, and enjoy the bow Joe.

[Danny Rowan]
