I recieved my trade bow from Rossfactor. It is beautifull from tip to tip and shoots very well. The nocks are made of fancy wood and work smooth as all git out to string and unstring the bow and look like a million dollars. The wood has some of the straightest grain I've ever seen and it just feels really strong.
I shot about 60 shots through her last night and am impressed with how hard it shoots heavy arrows. I guess the way its tillered to bend more in the inner limbs makes it like heavy arrows. Seemed like the heavier arrows where shooting just as fast as lighter ones but was definetly hitting the target harder and grouping better. Will make a great hunting bow no doubt.
Thanks Rossfactor for building such a fine piece of equipment for me. It could not fit me any better than it does and I am proud to own it.     Terry

Hey Terry I'm really glad you liked the bow.  I bet it was a pain in the neck to get out of that tube, I packed it in really tight... sorry about that  ;D

Its always hit or miss making a bow for somebody you don't know so its great to hear that she fits you well and is shooting well.  I hope you get many years of use out of the bow!  I would have hunted with that bow, so I felt comfortable passing it along. But wood is fickle and anything can happen... anyway really glad you liked it.

PD and BH and all the mods, this was a great trade for me and I really appreciate all the work y'all put in to keep it together.  I think a lot of people benefited from this experience,  I know I did.

Thanks!

Gabe

Notice from the Post Office and I need to go pick up my Trade Bow.  They could not deliver because the tube would not fit in the Carrier's car.   :('

Now if only the wife would hurry home so I can head off.   ;D

Wow, Nice work Gus!  I wish that was headed my way, rather than TX!  I am still stalking the mailman! 

That is a sweet bow Roy.  Soy set you up nicely.
