Wiating patiently to read about your adventures with Faith Chinook!

Tim any stories yet?

Thanks for thinking of me guys.
.
Have done some stumping with the Faith bow and also some gear prep.
.
I may be needing my one-man tent so I set it up on the deck to air it out and make sure all the pieces were still there. Packs down real small.
.

.
It's a tiny little thing and weighs less than 3 pounds.
.

.
I was surprised to find that the shock-cords within both tent poles had fatigued and no longer stretched back. It's still workable but I'll get some shock-cord and replace the old ones.
.
It's something I should have checked out before, but I've had a lot of life going on lately and its been enough just to be prepared for the next day.

Lots of good stumpin' around the house. The tall grasses are just another thing to thread an arrow through.
.
You might be able to see my fletching low and left of the little spruce near the center ?
.

.
You can see it now.
.

.
And another stump and arrow from my vantage.
.

.
Zoomed in now.

I'm thrilled how well the bow shoots for me and I have a lot of confidence with it already. Can't wait to get up above tree line with a little piece of Texas.
.
Until then

Goo luck!!!

Hope to see Faith lying on a bear soon

What'r you shootin' out of her Tim?

chinook907 · « **Reply #329 on:** August 14, 2014, 01:41:00 AM »

Alaskans and a 200gr head. The arrows I shoot out of my widow work pretty well

Hope arrived in the Pacific Northwest today ... arrived in a bomb proof container that weighed about 30 pounds ...

changed the shelf material to new Velcro and put a seal skin side plate on her ... I was a bit concerned about the 54#'s as I have been going down in weight the past few years, I was pleasantly surprised at her smoothness to my 28" draw and had no issues shooting about 70 arrows out in the back yard. She shoots good and I like the feel of the grip in my hand even though I am a high wrist guy.

I'll keep you posted on our progress and take some pics too !

Ken,

Your right whoever put that "Time Capsule" together sure didn't won't any chance of damage.

But I would suggest that a 4" PVC pipe would have been just as good as the present 6" and saved on shipping cost.

Since I was shipping out to Ken early and no one had Hope for August I went with normal ground shipment to save $$$ and it still cost $38 with insurance for $500.

It would have run about $50 for priority.

Ok done venting

Go get them Ken!

elkken · « **Reply #332 on:** August 16, 2014, 09:02:00 PM »

Yes John ... I ship a lot of bows and stuff trading on the classifieds and maybe that packaging could have been a bit different, but it is going LOTS of miles to complete the full journey and better safe than sorry I guess.

I sure did have fun this afternoon shooting Hope ... not sure what arrows ect I will go with yet but working on it

fnshtr · « **Reply #333 on:** August 17, 2014, 10:23:00 AM »

When Hope was delivered to my house... I thought someone had delivered a bomb!

I really enjoyed shooting Hope and wish you all the luck in the world. Very nice bow!

Yeah... go get them Ken!

elkken · « **Reply #334 on:** August 17, 2014, 03:36:00 PM »

I just noticed that no one is signing the Hope bow when they are done ... I do believe the last time I had a Hope bow, a year or so ago, we all signed it ...

elkken · « **Reply #335 on:** August 17, 2014, 08:08:00 PM »

Is 7 1/8 about right for brace height ... ??

I kmow you signed the Stalker from 2011-2012! I did too. It is mine now.

Good luck with the Sarrels!

That Stalker was a great bow too ! I shot a turkey with it and a bunch of 3D targets at our annual "Rock Shoot" that the Traditional Bowhunters of Washington puts on each April.

I think I'll sign the Sarrels before it leaves Washington.

I settled on CE 250's … BH's yet to be decided, changed the string out for a skinny string I had on my 60" 54# Tree Stick and the bow went dead silent. I am going to end up using my St Judes string from Lefties R Us auction winnings … Allen is making it now

thank you Allen

I also added on a GN quiver

Well I made it into the mountains finally a few days ago.

The Sarrel's Faith bow sure looks good in the rocks.
.

.

And I guess the model is the Blueridge so I felt I should take a pic of it up high in the crow and blue berries.
