Terry's laughing gremlin seemed innocent enough. Couldn't be that bad.

Been hunting exclusively with the Red Hawk and will be going out again Friday and Saturday. The early season ends on Sunday but, that is the Lords day for this family and we'll be in church.

If I don't succeed on those two days, I will have another chance during the late season which encompasses the rut.   :D

Pavan

This bow is 69" ntn and about 45@28.  With the dual shelf it is cut 5/16" from center so it likes a little weaker spine than normal.  Nice bow.  1" at fades and 1/2" at tips.

TW - I know you'll make those last two days of the early season count.  That bow looks good in Oregon!

Thanks Rob, gonna do my best! Notice there are no string silencers? That bow is so quiet, it doesn't need them. My neighbor hollered over the fence the other day and says, "Didn't even know you were shooting 'til I heard the arrows hit the target!". A great bow to be sure!     :bigsmyl:

I owe a lot of the quietness to my release. The Eichler tab I was shooting gave me the sweetest/smoothest release possible for me and I lost it yesterday! Got to get me a new one quick, fast and in a hurry!!!

This is the bow I plan on taking to the woods in a couple of weeks.  69" and 54@29.  I wanted this bow to be rounded on the belly like some self bows I've seen.  It has a thick stack that's really tapered.  Initially this bow started at 80# after getting limbs to width.  I brought it down to 54@29 by significantly rounding the limbs especially the belly
  You can see that with the reveal of the bamboo on belly and back.  There isn't a corner on this thing.  Kind of like the river otters I saw on my pond the morning I pulled it out of the oven.  
 

 

 

 

 

The tips are narrow. (.4")

Well it's the only Hill I have so all I know for now but I am in love. Got a string follow off the knuckle bow that will get its fair share of hunting too though. It's a special to me bow!!!
