I got home early today, intent on doing some much needed paperwork. As I settled into my monotony, my phone rang....caller ID told me it was "Ishpeming, MI"....which is code for The Great North, aka the Upper Peninsula.
"Howdy Steve", I answered, because it could only be Steve Turay of Northern Mist calling me from Ishpeming.
"Did you get your bow" he asked.
"No, but awesome...it shipped?" was my response.
"Dang it, it should be there" said the Bowyer of The North.
Just as he said that, the mail truck pulled up. I hung up (abruptly) on Steve, and ran like a kid at Christmas to the road.
"Do you have a long package for me?" I asked the mail lady.
She handed me a long, slim, cardboard box.
I hustled back up to the house, ripped open
the package, to reveal my brand spanking new Baraga, complete with the classic green glass (front and back) with Bubinga riser and tips.
I called back Steve....briefly...and told him "IT'S AWESOME, BUT I CAN'T TALK RIGHT NOW, I HAVE TO SHOOT MY BOW!!!"
I LOVE this bow...62" long, 60#@28". It spits a 625 grain cedar arrow like you have never seen. Super quiet, and I haven't even tuned it or put on silencers. Nothing but a damp, comforting thump in my hand upon release. Thanks Steve!!!
Off to the canal to find some carp....
