success at last! :)
« on: April 25, 2015, 08:02:21 am »
Hi team,
My first real shooter and I'm over the moon. 68" Hazel 42# @ 27". It shoots really straight and nice and fast for what it is! Thanks to everyone on here for inspiration and advice. Extra special thanks to Del and Gordon who were the ones who convinced me that Hazel was a viable bow wood. Next on to more Yew  :D

Looks cool, art work blends in nice with the natural background.
