Got my 2016 PA trade bow today
« on: June 27, 2016, 08:57:28 pm »
My daughter called me today at work. She was so excited I couldn't understand her.  Got her calmed down and she said my bow came in the mail today and she wanted to open it. So she faced timed me and I watched her open it. I don't know who was more excited me or her. Anyways I couldn't wait to get home and shoot it. Mwosborn built this hackberry bow and done a wonderful job. Shoots great feels good in the hand, well balanced, and the finish work is unbelievable. I just really like the way the darker ends and handle flows into the lighter color on the limbs it just looks like it's naturally done that away. Mitch I would like to thank you for a wonderful bow and you left no stones unturned on this one.

That's surely good looking!
I'll still get to that skill level so I can ship a bow myself 😂

Consider yourself lucky to have such a beauty!

That grain really pops with the way the finish was done, sweet looking bow.
I ain't broke but I'm badly bent.

That's a beautiful bow. You're a lucky man. Lets see a full draw when you get  chance.

Nice looking finish on that one. Is the top limb longer than the bottom? I would like to see a full draw picture also

We had a lot of rai. And I couldn't get nobody to come down to the garage to take a pick. Try to get one once the rain stops

I found many years ago that it is much easier and more rewarding working with those that don't know anything than those that know it all.

Your very welcome Paul.  I hope it shoots well for you.  I am not even close to being able to build a bow like many of the master on here, but I did work very hard on this one and it is as good as I have done to date.  I shot it for a couple of weeks (right handed), but once I started the finish work I did not shoot it again - I absolutely can not shoot left handed!  Let me know how it works with the arrow on that side of the bow.  :laugh:

BTW - this was the first trade I have been in - sure am glad I got in - it has been fun watching all these nice bows come together and get sent out.  Thanks again for getting it started Fred!
Enjoy the hunt!  Mitch
