Introducing "The Fury" pic heavy (all photos uploaded)
lebhuntfish:
Thanks a bunch fellas! So far this bow is the one I'm most proud of.
Chris thanks for your reply on here. I would really value your honest review of "The Fury".
I know Bob loves it and that's what my goal was. To make a bow that another bowyer would like and shoot. Patrick
blackhawk:
My first reply says it all in all honesty patrick...my replies to sleek are in jest :laugh: selfbows dont get much better buddy ;)
Only thing different i found was its more than the weight ya stated is all...but that aint no thing,and has nothing to do with the fact its a nice bow...we scaled it at about 63...after pulling it back and shooting it i told bob its def over 60 for sure so we went and scaled it. 199 is still really good for a 63 pound bow with a 470 grain arrow buddy. As long as a bow pulls smooth to anchor,doesnt rattle the last of me teefers out,shoots hard and the arrow flies straight for a good bit before dropping im not too concerned with the whole fps,performance,n speed stuff. And this one ya made met all my cirteria with flying colors,and wood shoot it a bunch if it was mine. Which is saying something,cus im picky about what i shoot. And since im being honest the dyed color on the back didnt float my boat much...but that dont mean @$!#. Im a function first dude. And not everybody likes the same ice cream..im a vanilla guy ;) :laugh:

Thanks you very much for your review. I didn't know I was that far off of the weight. I was thinking about that, I made the "toasted" early wood look on the belly with a torch. I done this after shooting it in and sanding. Then I put the finish on. I never put it back on the scale to check the weight. "toasting" the belly side might have re heat treated it. Not too sure. I have checked my scale several times to make sure it was on but I only had a 5lb weight to use. I will try to find something to weigh that's heavier. If the scale is off I will throw it away and get a new one.
About the dye job, that's the first time I ever tried anything like that and it came out ok from what I was thinking. But hey not everyone likes vanilla I cream as much as I do! Thanks again Chris, and I strive to be a better bowyer with every build. Patrick
hunterbob:
Well let me tell you patrick I lIke the dye job myself. Heck patrick there is nothing I don't like about the bow. You out did yourself and to think it's going to get better with every bow you build. In my mind I am thinking how are you going to top the fury but I am sure your minds already thinking about the next build.
And it's a tad stiff but hey its a hunting bow. If the deer are standing just tight I may be able to fill all my tags with one shot from the fury. Thanks again patrick.
lebhuntfish:
Thank you Bob! You are very welcome! I'm really glad you like it so much! It means a lot to me that you feel that way also! I hope the deer line up perfect for you. I would love to see some pictures of you and Fury with some fresh meat for the freezer! Patrick
Edit
By the way Vanilla ice cream is truly my favorite!
