As many of you might know the St Jude's auction ranks right up there with opening day of elk and Christmas for me. Also many of you know that I love to buy and trade on the classifieds, but having had too many bows to count I have never had one custom made just for "me" … well this year that all changed thanks to the generous donation of Jared Marinelli of Journeyman Archery.
I was the winning bidder and was soon contacted by Jared to get the process started. He offered to send me a couple of risers along with some limbs so that we could truly work on a custom bow that fit just right. Again I thought that was extremely generous of him. The risers and limbs arrived in a bullet proof wooden box … Jared's risers are 14 1/2 " and he sent me limbs to make a 60" bow, my length of choice. One riser also had a sample of his stippling work which was very nice. The bow shot very very well and I was so glad he sent both risers, on one I liked the width and the other the palm swell. The 14 1/2 " riser ends up with my little pinky on my bow hand resting just on the top of the lower limb, it feels very comfortable. ..
