Title: Received my Trade Bow today (from A.P.H. - Mike Weinberger
Post by: Lee Slikkers on April 30, 2011, 11:30:49 pm: Mike, got the gorgeous Trade Bow today! Man, I am completely stoked!!! Love the kind letter you sent with it and had to laugh out loud at the script. The bow is a 60" T2T (57" N2N) Bamboo backed Yellowheart. I was out shooting it for a long time this afternoon and it really drilled them right where I'm looking so WELL DONE my friend. Here are a couple shoots of the wonderful gift~

Can't wait to draw blood with her...

Thanks again Mike, much appreciated.

Well, the pic location could be a touch better...I hadn't noticed that my boy's 150' zip-line was so visible right across the tip nock at full draw AND i take horrid pics as well, these were all snapped by my 8 year old, Grayson ;D

It really does shoot smooth and hits where I am trying to put them so I am thrilled. I do need to make (maybe buy a dozen) a few arrows that are heavier and spined more for this weight bow. I am currently just shooting a handful of leftover alum and carbon arrows from my old "training wheel" days.

Thanks again!

Post by: HatchA on May 01, 2011, 06:00:09 pm: That bow right there is the reason Mike is an "Almost" pig hunter...

If he spent less time makin' amazing bows like that and more time hunting piggies - he'd be callin' himself "PighunterXtreme" :D

Work of art!

Title: Re: Received my Trade Bow today (from A.P.H. - Mike Weinberger
Post by: Josh on May 04, 2011, 11:52:49 pm: A bunch of guys drew names and are building bows for the person whose name they drew. The person who is getting the bow doesn't know who has their name until they get their bow. It's kinda cool, I want in on the next one. :)

I don't know, it all seem pretty good to me...form seeing all the creative pieces being completed to working on mt own trade bow to shooting the one I received. This "community" is one cool and talented group of kind and helpful folks. Hard to beat that with any stick >:D
