Title: My trade bow I recieved from Keenan
Post by: beetlebailey1977 on August 17, 2013, 02:27:08 pm
This bow loves 60-65 spine port orford cedar shafts......and I love this bow.  It shoots so sweetly and is so smooth to draw.

The bow is Pacific yew.....71" ntn and 59#@ 29" I usually draw 29"-30" depending on my stance.  The last two are not pictures they are videos.....the one with the grass is showing the bow up close.  Those arrows are 31 1/2" long.

Despite the deep love for the bow I received this year and the abiding respect and admiration for the guy that made it for me, I COVET YOUR BOW!  And it's an Old Testament level of covetousness.  If I am lucky, God will give me 40 years in the wilderness with lotsa animals to hunt for my giving in to temptation.

It has to be seen in person to really appreciate it....my photos barely do that.  I was completely flabbergasted when I saw that big white and who it was from.  I am very happy to have received it.  It fits me so well.
