Well, my time with Faith was up a couple of days ago and deer season ended Saturday.

No blood on the ground for me, but have to say I've swapped emails with Bob about this bow.  Seriously tempted to order one.  It is just one of those bows that hits where I look and points so naturally.

I made a couple of last ditch tries, but, to be honest, didn't see a single deer while hunting with her.  Am at a loss as our place is usually thick with'em in late season.

I also spent another day overlooking the same field from the above report.

Here's the last pic of my time with her.  What a great bow!  Bob has got a truly great design with the Blue Ridge S/R.  Its smooth, fast, quiet, accurate, and handles like a 1pc longbow.

 


So, as of now, we've got her packed up and ready to go.  Waiting to hear what the plans are for her next and will send her on her way in that bomb proof shipping setup Chuck was talking about...LOL.

Think this may be the safest way I've seen one packed.

 


Again, thanks to the TG crew for allowing me to spend time with a fantastic rendition of Faith and  thanks to Bob Sarrels for stepping up and putting forth 2 beauties.

No luck here Terry.

I'm pretty well out of time to hunt, so will send her where ever I need to.

Same story here. Just awaiting further instructions. I hope to give a summary of my time with Hope in the next few days.
Plant a fruit or nut tree today, and have good hunting tomorrow.

If nobody is signed up, I would love to shoot Faith or Hope and show one of them the ridges of western North Carolina , maybe introduce them to a wiley coyote. We've been thick with black bears and racoons with the warm weather recently, but they are just the entertainment.

My deer season runs through February. I have some tags left and the deer are starting to hit my honeysuckle. I could show Hope a good time if she doesn't have a date.

Hope arrived today. What a beauty! I will try to get a few arrows through it tomorrow and pray the rain holds off for Sunday afternoon.

Chris (akaboomer) did some maintenance on my pickup today and after he got done we stepped out back of the brake shop and shot a couple arrows. Yep, he has a target handy at work too. I can now say that I shot it. Its really a nice bow.

I can also say that if a deer gets too close he'll end up on the table. Chris can really shoot it. I was shooting a the center of the bag and he was shooting at my arrow holes and nearly hittin em.

I snapped a picture of Chris.

I sure did like that grip. A lot.

I have been out trying to get it done. The deer have not cooperated, yet. Too bad turkeys are off the menu. The acorn crop was the biggest I have ever seen here and there are plenty that are still good. The problem with that is that the deer don't have to move much. They have been hitting other food sources some but it's been the worst season I have even had. I have a little more time to get it done and I will post the picture of the adventures, with or without a dead critter.

I have been having technical issues, but I do have some picture of my time with Hope. Unfortunately, no deer were taken. Poor weather and conditions plagued my hunting time for February. Hope should have arrived with the next fellow today. If I can get the technical issues worked out pics coming soon.

Looks like Faith and Hope went to Panama City Beach for spring break and decided not to come back. They better get their butts on a bus or they'll miss turkey hunting season.

Hope is on her way to Texas and should land tomorrow or Tuesday. I picked her up on my way out of town heading to Texas for some pig hunting.  There wasn't any time to do any tuning and being sick for the first half of the hunt, I didn't get to take her hunting.I did take her to the range a couple of times and I can vouch that Bob Sarrells makes a really nice shooting bow.  Hope has excellent manners, very good performance and is wonderfully crafted.  I plan on participating in her auction.

Fletcher, who did you send Hope to? Just wondering if it is anyone close to me?
