Title: Lesken 2011's second bow is done 56" 50#@27 rigid handle w/ rat snake
Post by: half eye on August 30, 2012, 07:01:20 pm
Hey fellas, wanted to let yall know that Ken is gonna get his bows. Number one is out the door in the AM.....Here's the story on the 2 bow deal......while working on his 56 incher I was advised by my spouse that I would be putting down new flooring in the kitchen and livingroom.....well did I tell her a thing or two....(yes dear) cause I'm old and not stupid.
      That would put me behind about 5-7 days and Ken has damned well waited long enough.....so since his 56" bow is just like the 54" I posted.....I tweeked it a skooshie bit and it's on the way, number 2 will be going out in about 7-10 days....Hell if a guy is gonna have a "long" bow he ought to have a "shortie" too ::) I let Ken know and will send the trackin number later.....also the Post Office told me they were holding back some areas mail cause of the storm. But hoping it hits your door by Tuesday latest.

Enjoy the pics, and hope ya like this one Ken.

Rich, you are the man.  Looks like Kenny is getting something really special.  I couldn't help but think that the timber rattler travelled more dead than he did alive....  From alabama to michigan and back south to mississippi....  that's a lot of crawling!  Great looking bow brother.

I got it!  I got it!  I got it!! Half Eye's bow got here today and it makes me realize just how far I have to go when it comes to tillering. A shorty with a smooth draw for an excellent bow for a tree stand or ground blind and a real work of art. I had a long day at the office today and have to go over to my son's house tonight, so I only had time to grab a few shots. I can't wait to get more shots in tonight or tomorrow. I will post some pics later tonight or tomorrow. Thanks, Rich!!
