Title: A Bow & Arrows for a friend.
Post by: knightd on October 20, 2008, 09:52:45 pm: This is a BBI and Tonkin cane arrows I made for a friend. The tonkin arrows are spined within 5# of each other and weight matched within 30 grn of each other. And dyed a Burgundy color to match the bow..
I hope he likes it!!

Post by: ricktrojanowski on October 23, 2008, 09:46:50 pm: HOLY COW :o :o :o. I came home from scouting some new deer woods and in my living room was a really long priority mailing box. Inside much to my suprise was the bow and arras David posted. I can't express in words how generous David is and how happy I am with the set. The bow and arrows are absolutely beautiful. My wife said it is the best looking bow in the house. Kind of made me feel bad since the only other bows in the house are ones that I made. But she is right. Tomorrow I'll shoot it some and get some full draw pics up this weekend. This is one of the nicest things anyone has ever done for me. This kindness of this community never ceases to amaze me. Thanks again David.

Post by: cowboy on October 23, 2008, 09:56:57 pm: That's awesome David - I just looked at this and that is one beautiful set! Go git a deer with that Rick and be sure to post pic's when you do ;D.
Title: Re: A Bow & Arrows for a friend.
Post by: ZanderPommo on October 23, 2008, 09:59:44 pm: Ha, yes! about time! lol, congrats Rick! eager to see some full draw pics soon. I have a feeling you may be using a different bow than usual this season? ;D
David, sure does make a fine bow, the one I've got is almost scary fast. my parents are probably gettin' me a chrono this Christmas and I'll probably post with the fps. lucky devil >:D

Zander
Title: Re: A Bow & Arrows for a friend.
Post by: ricktrojanowski on October 24, 2008, 09:46:54 pm: I am definitely lucky to get such a nice bow. I plan on hunting with it as soon as I get to know it. Hopefully early next week. I'll post some full draw pics this weekend. It was a late night so I still didn't get to shoot it. I'm waiting til I can shoot it in the daylight so I can really enjoy it. ;D
Title: Re: A Bow & Arrows for a friend.

Title: Re: A Bow & Arrows for a friend.
Post by: ricktrojanowski on October 26, 2008, 09:17:24 pm: Sorry for the delay in posting these pictures. I hope this makes it in on time for this bow to be considered for BOM. It definitely deserves it. This bow is wicked fast. I would put it up against pretty much any glass bow out there. I glued up some old arrows with 145 gr. points for a total arrow weight of 510+/- gr. And it was whipping them out there fast and flat. I was shooting much past my "effective" range in no time and grouping the shots well. The bow shoots beautifully with a nice smooth draw. I am not only impressed with the beauty of the bow and arrows but also how great it shoots. I am both very lucky and happy. Thanks again David. I have a feeling about the new bow and new area that I'm hunting I think I may actually finally get a deer. ;D

Post by: knightd on October 30, 2008, 12:31:41 pm: Thank's Badger.. From the sound of it Rick has a pretty good chance of making meat in the area hes hunting..So I wish him the best..
Title: Re: A Bow & Arrows for a friend.
Post by: ricktrojanowski on October 31, 2008, 06:09:23 am: Well I can say that this bow is Faaaast and Quiet. I had a great shot at a 4 pt. but blew it. Right over its back. Luckily it didn't spook. He just wandered off tail down browsing out of my range for the next 25-20 mins.
