Another Invitational 2016 Bow Trade...

[PaulN/KS]

Waking up this old thread while I still have internet here. (storms... ) 
Got my shiny new bow from Dave today. Well packed and festooned with the 50th anniversary Star Trek stamps on the box. Very timely and appropriate Dave. 
It is prettier in person than the pictures that he posted and shoots fast and smooth for sure. The arrows flew like a leaf on the wind... 
Only had time for a few arrows but I hope to bring it along to the Three Trails shoot on Sunday to show it off.
Thanks Dave!

Speaking of bows that shoot well. Jo5h was really hittimg some good shots with his trade bow, and even his misses were quite fantastic. Never would I have thought a bow of that draw weight would power an arrow through a branch that thick. The arrow hit, blew up into at least 10 pieces, and those bits went on very far. We left the arrow shaft embeded in the branch as a memorial. Not that there was any pulling it out!

Thanks for the compliments guys. It sure is a cool looking bow but DaveV deserves the credit for how she looks. 

[DavidV]

Thanks guys, and I'm really glad you like it Paul.

Did that bow have matching wiggles on the ends by any chance?

Got my trade bow a couple weeks ago . Been real busy. Bend in the handle hickory . 50@27 . Shoots a arrow pretty good. I can't get pics to load because of size.  .  Arvin

Glad to hear it Arvin! 

I had a great time with this trade.  ...and not just the getting a WONDERFUL bow from the likes of HalfEye part, BUT that was/is pretty danged sweet!  I really enjoyed fussing over the work on getting my trade bow just so, shooting it in, tuning the tiller, adjusting the nocks, stitching the handle on, and finally giving it to my victim in person at MOJAM. 

I had kinda been burned out on the trades before this, ...but this one was different, ...and a good kind of different.
