Ok, WOW!
Nice little package came in the mail today! My kids were excited to see what was inside (I was too) so we tore right in. I was shocked, and I mean shocked, as I pulled the contents from the tube. This bow is beyond any expectation I ever had, not just for this trade but for any bow in general. Im stunned.
My "requirements" for the trade were that I love short bows. The challenge was go as short as you can with the best draw weight and length you can. How about a 52in ntn bow that pulls 54lbs at 22in. Yeah thats awesome! And its yew, sinew backed, and the tiniest little tips, and a bear claw rest! Again, WOW!
Just realized I haven't given credit to this expert bowyer. My bow was built by Steve, aka walski. Who ironically enough had a had in my build this year since I used a stave he gifted me last year after the trade to build my bow.
Steve, to answer your question, this doesn't meet, it far exceeds my expectations, this is a thing of beauty and a true work or art as well. I am humbled by this gift and grateful for the effort you put into it. It's already taken its spot on my wall of go to bows (only 3 on that wall).
The weather here has been horrible lately, so no shooting today, but I'll hopefully get it out this weekend for a shoot and some better pics. Until.then, here's the unboxing pics.
