This is the bow that Matt "MWirwicki" stepped in and built when the man that drew my name for the swap couldn’t get it done. I am fairly new to PA and am quite overwhelmed by the generosity of its members. I was privileged to be a part of the swap this year and that by itself would have been enough but to receive a bow of this quality!!! I have to apologize to Matt for taking so long to post but I have not been able to shoot for a bit due to my back but now…… Matt this little bow spits an arrow hard (likes 50/55 cedar) and is going to make meat if I have anything to say about it!!!
Matt thank you so much.... this bow will be a part of my rack always and hopfully will make lots of meat :)

Knowing who was going to build a bow for me I took the liberty of doing a bit of FBI work to find out more about my builder "Matt"...
Here is a slideshow with some of matts builds.... the man can build a bow!!!

Matt is not too unusual for this crowd, but don't take that as anything but a compliment. He runs in a pretty find crowd of folks! Thanks, Matt, for upholding the reputation of this Forum.
Atta boy, Coaster, you got yourself a mighty fine hunting tool. Best of luck, may she bring you many warm memories in the future.

Got to ask though.... where do you get "65 year old billits" !!!!! This woods been down longer than I've been here.... Matt you look good for your age ;D
Now wish me luck... Got a date with some hogs hopefully wednesday !!!!

Nice!!! I bet it was well worth the wait!
-
Coaster: Good luck hog huntin'! Be sure to send me some pics if you get any with the bow. I'll hang them on my bow shop's wall of fame.
I got the billets 15 years ago from an old farmer. He had them stored in his barn. He said that he had them for at least 50 years.

That is a sweet bow, and a sweet bowyer ;D. Old osage is the best osage. Very nice.

That was a find Matt and translated into a great bow!!!
Carson wish I could get my hands on some 50 year old Osage. I don't know that I could do it justice but sure would like to give it a try :)
Got that right Bubby.... Great bunch here on PA and Matt is one of the best :)
