Beautiful bow Shawn.. Congratulations  

[Shawn Leonard]

I am naming her Smokin Beauty!! She is smoking fast and pretty!! My fingers are hurtin I have probably put 6-700 arrows thru her since yesterday afternoon. My shoulder is gonna pay for it but I am really happy with her. I weighed up arrows with 50 grain brass inserts and 125 grain heads than with 175 grain heads, the ones with the regular inserts and 175 grain heads weighed exactly 15 grains more so 190 grains up front, cannot tell the difference in how they fly.

[Shawn Leonard]

Izzy, the boat anchor is gone, bad mojo!! We have to get together as well bud! Maybe You, me, Curt and Cade can do a turkey striper combo this year!! Shawn

[Shawn Leonard]

Danny, thanks bud, she shoots as good as she looks!! I made my first kill with her this afternoon. I had a woodchuck run out in front me on the way home from work today. I ran home grabbed her and 2 Cedarsmith arrows that were made up years ago by HotHap(Glynn)I had a 160 grain Snufer mounted to each one. I drove back down the road by rabbit valley(guys who have bunny hunted here know it!)and pulled in and snuck around the corner. There was a big boar chuck at 25 yards facing dead away and feeding. I drew and let one fly, just high. He surprised me and did not run but sat straight up looking dead ahead where my first arrow buried in the  grass. I knocked the second arrow and this time burnt a hole between his shoulders, the crack was amazing as it hit him right in the back of the head. I have killed tons of chucks over the years and they are tough as they come, this one did not even twitch. He was about 12-14#s and he was rutting and actually stunk pretty good. I kick myself for not even grabbing my phone for a pic. but I have vowed to start taking more pics. of my kills. I have never been one to do that very much but as I get older I kind of wish I had. Hopefully I have many more kills with Smokin Beauty!! I am still getting used to the weight, it is only a couple more pounds than I have been shooting but I can feel it in my shoulders big time!! Thanks everyone for the compliments, Abe makes bows that are truly a piece of art but better yet, they are great shooters as well! Shawn

Abe

[Shawn Leonard]

[Flying Dutchman]

[Shawn Leonard]

Thanks Dutch, I have been at it again and all I can say is the turkeys better not get to with 20 yards or they are in trouble! Shawn

[joe skipp]

What type of stringer are you using Shawn? Those are some mean looking hooks on those limbs. I remember I had a hard time stringing up my Howard Gamemaster Jet and those hooks were not as serious as those. good luck with the bow...now go kill some turkeys.

[Easykeeper]

Fabulous!
