I have been working on some trades as of late. One with tracker for so modern recurves and some obsidian hunting points. And the other day I was looking for some snake skins and hunterbob offered to send me one. And every day I still hope that my trade bow will arrive.
Today when I got home from work I had a couple of packages waiting for me by my front door. A long package and a smaller one. The smaller one was from tracker, I forgot that the two recurves were takedowns. Thanks man they are awesome!
The second package I noticed was from hunterbob. I thought for a second that it was an awful big box for a snake skin! So I got after the Fort Knox style tape job and when I got it open gold poured out of it! :laugh: I actually had to sit down once the box opened up. Of course I noticed a long package inside all wrapped in paper, foam and another mile of tape. Then I noticed the snake skin which is beautiful and perfect! I couldn't wait any longer so I dove into unwrapping what I'm sure is a bow. Then there it was, a beautiful yew recurve made by hunterbob! I was shocked to say the least! I looked it over for a few minutes then strung it up. What a beaut! I gathered my glove, arrows and arm guard and to the target I went! I shot around 40 or so shots out of it and it shoots smooth and accurate. I absolutely love it! I also shot my other two recurves which shoot great!
I came in the house and laid the yew bow on the open box when I realized that the box was full of leather! Bob, you completely outdid yourself and went over the top! You're the most giving person I know. You didn't have to do what you did sir! But I will tell you this, that yew bow will be in the woods this fall for sure! Once again Bob, THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!
Here are a few pictures that I took. There not that great but I had to take a few.
Full draw in a couple of days.
Patrick
P.S. Thank you to all that helped Bob behind the scenes. You know who you are! :laugh:

What a box of goodies you got there Patrick. Nice work on the yew bow Bob, that looks like a real solid hunting weapon.

You look good at full draw with the bow. Looks like she fits you well.
I know I can't wait to stick a deer using the fury. At least try.
Thank you again Patrick for the fury. I feel as if I got the best bow of the 2015 bow trade . It is awesome and hits hard.

That's a sweet bow and snake skin.

Bob, ya should be quite proud of yourself. That is a nice bow!
-
Thanks for the replies guy's!
Bob really deserves all the credit for this! I'm very proud to own this bow. I shoot it pretty well but I think I need to get some different arrows. I can't wait to try and shoot a deer with this one. It hits pretty hard!
Bob your welcome, The Fury turned out to be a heck of a bow and I'm glad you were the person who got it. I know it will be put to the test this fall! I can't wait to see pics of you with the first Fury kill!

OneBow
-
Did ya try it left handed?
-
I'm glad I got to share that one with you Eric! It sure does shoot nicely!
Kevin, no he didn't try left handed. But I wouldn't want to stand in front of Eric if he was shooting that yew bow at me!
Patrick
-
I dont know pat, way he shoots, that may be the safest spot!
Eric im just messin with you. But when you shoot lefty, you get surgical.
