bubby , man that is gorgeous, more than I hoped for or deserved. But the young lady is special, not just to me , but to
anyone she comes in contact with. SHE is worth it ;D
The way this thing came about was kinda neat...at the 3D range a lot of folks shoot bows made by Stonepoint Archery, a
one man custom shop operated by a super guy name of Jerry Garvin. His bows are not just local but this young lady had one
hanging on the rack and it occurred to me that the lines of her bow reminded me of bubby's bows. I mean, really close. She
had/has helped me with 3D so much I figured she deserved something special and what could be more special than one
of bubby's bows? Thanks bub for working this out for me. I told her about it last night via text and she was ecstatic.
As a note to this whole deal , Jerry is also a pastor and and retired professor of biology from the University of Georgia.
Any way, he uses primitive weapons to illustrate his points and my good friend halfeye made him an authentic Chickasaw
bow. He too was ecstatic .
Thank you my friends for allowing me to use your talents to benefit people that mean a lot to me.
Again bubby, beautiful job.
-
That's a great story all the way around! It sounds like more than a few happy people there. Oh and a beautiful bow too.
-
thanks everyone for the nice comments she sure is a sweet shooter, and Lane anytime buddy, bub
-

Nice one Bubs, I dig it 8)
-
Nice nocks, I like em. :)
-
Man, really nice
-
well it says it was delivered, hopefully in one pc
-
Wow that's a nice bow love the maple and walnut combo same combo as my cabinets will be. Do you ever have problems with glue lines on these or have you gotten it pretty well figured out by now?
-
since I started using innertubes I've had great success with gluelines
-
Thanks that's was thinking but not 100% sure I tried c clamps and was disappointing so I haven't tried any wood backings since and won't for awhile
-
Yup! I think what makes your bow so beautiful is not only the way she looks and feels but also the purpose of your Bowyers heart. Nice job Bubby.

Guys , I was at the 3D range last Saturday and was shooting with Miss Casey. Their mail is delivered
late and she was calling every 30 min. to see if her bow had arrived. Around 4 o'clock she got the word
and it was on.
bubby is a class act all the way so she had to borrow my knife to get into the perfect packaging, she almost
put out her dad's eye pulling out the bow and within six arrows she was there. This girl owns a nice recurve,
a custom longbow, a compound she won't admit to and now a bubby classic.
On sunday she shot the bubby and was lights out. My photo bucket and me ain't getting along but I have pics of
two 12's and I just plain quit with the 10's.
Best picture of all was the smile on her face....priceless. bubby, you are the man. Thank you.

I started doing archery in March 2012, and I started with a Mathews compound and only after a couple short months I was introduced to traditional archery and I fell in love. My compound has been in my closet collecting dust ever since. With traditional archery I started with a Ben Pearson recurve, and soon realized that bows are very addictive and also got a Long Bow from Stone Point Archery. Then a few months back I met Lane Johnston, he came out to my family’s 3D archery range, it was his first time ever shooting 3D so my dad and I tagged along with him to shoot the course. We quickly became good friends and shot the course together almost every weekend over the summer. So a couple weeks back I received a text message from Lane telling me to come on this site and look up the bow “maple walnut maple tri lam” by Bubby and he also said that one is yours it will be on your doorstep soon. I was completely shocked and so excited. So it came in the mail Saturday afternoon, I absolutely love it, and after just one hour of shooting it I actually was able to hit a tennis ball! Then Sunday morning Lane came out to shoot and was surprised that I was going to shoot the course so soon with my new bow! I actually shot quite well and scored a 196 on the course! I am looking forward to beating that score very soon hopefully. Bubby, I thank you so much it is such an amazing bow, I absolutely love it! You do such amazing work and I truly thank you! And Thank you Lane for introducing me to primitive archery!!! Thanks Casey

Here are some pictures of me shooting last weekend when I got it.... Thanks, Casey

i'm glad you like the bow Casey, man you shoot a heck of a lot better than I do, Bub
