Failed Plan and RER
« on: February 08, 2013, 07:59:00 PM »
Every year I hit the Kalamazoo Expo on the first day. Take a 1/2 days vacation, make the three hour drive and roll in when they open the doors at 5:00pm on Friday. This year I had some interference in the way of work and Friday and Saturday were just undo able. Thought Kalamazoo for 2013 was going to be a bust. After Church on Sunday morning I received clearence from Sweet Wife to hit the Expo. At 10:15am Sunday morning I was on the road heading for Kalamazoo and by 1:15pm I was in. As I roamed the Expo, with vendors packing up getting ready to close, I made my way to the RER booth. Kevin had a few bows left and one in particular caught my eye. Honduras Rosewood riser with Leopard Wood limbs, 60" 46@28. Perfect for my 30" draw. But I had a plan, I took no money with me intentionally so I wouldn't bring a bow home with me. I can't tell you how proud I was of myself when I came back home and Sweet Wife said "how much did this cost you". My response was "$5 to get in". That lasted about three days. After a couple of emails, this was on my porch Wednesday, pretty and a shooter too!

The plan was not a failure, in fact it was a success.  You did not bring a bow home, it was delivered!  :thumbsup:  

Looks good!

Nice, The Leopard wood is very unique.

Nice bow Mike, Trap

I think Kevin got to quite a few of us    :)    

I came home with one of the new Vitals, but shot a 58" Retro and thought I really should have bought it as well. A few days later it started working on my mind. An e-mail to Sue confirmed they still had it in stock, so two more bows went up for sale to cover it.

I'll wait until the Retro comes in a few days and then post pics of both bows together. Kevin sure is guilty of contributing to the delinquency of an old man!
