Speechless !!!
« on: June 18, 2013, 02:32:00 AM »
An incredible gesture of friendship.

   I do believe in what goes around will come around.
I do believe in give and take.
But yesterday I had to realize it was a lot harder to take then to give
 

   


Here´s the story:

I got a parcel delivered from Border Archery in Scotland.
My new limbs arrived ... yes, yes, yes …

Happy as a clown I was staring at the box ????

Something appeared to be wrong …. ??!!?!??

That box is way tooooooo long ..?!?!!!??          Wrong parcel or what ??!!??

   


Here is what the box contained:
my new Hex 6 bb2 limbs and a black bag ?????

   


Had to find out that the black bag was a gift from my friend Jer.

After opening that bag my eyes kept getting wider and wider ….. it was ... WOW … I was speechless !!!!

I must have been sitting there for almost an hour … just staring at that beauty.


  Jer knows about my passion for horse archery and bowhunting.
 

So he was getting me a bow made that I could use for Horse Archery as well as for Bowhunting.

Thanks again brother for leaving me speechless.

Lot´s of pics to come .....

  I was so excited my self that I forgot to give you some details on that bow.


Here you go ....


Ghillie Dhu  -  Horse Hex as I call her.

56" Bow.
52 lbs @ 28
48" strung Nock to Nock with 7 BH and 44" at full draw.

Full working recurves, deflexed riser with horn overlays at the back and front.
Bamboo core with carbon back and front using Hex 6 technology.
Almost no preload - easy to string and ample smoothness.

Weight of bow without string:  420 grams
Weight of 16 strand FF string with silencer: 7 grams

At my 29 draw she shoots a 580 grain arrow at 178 fps  -  at 28 draw with same arrow it is 170 fps  ...

It is short enough to be used for mounted archery as well being shot from a blind or tree stand.

Incredible craftsmanship!

If it shoots half as good as it looks, you may never miss a target.  :)

Unbelievable bow and photography.
