Post by: Pappy on May 10, 2007, 06:26:11 am

This was made by a good friend of mine and brought it to the Classic.I told him I would post it for him.He is supposed to have a story in P.A. in a few months about it.Ron is the one that got me started making bows and is a very tallented guy.It is 70 in n-n Narrow limb Osage 50@28.He shoots
it off his hand ,no shelf.I think he shot it with Ryan and his wife at the Tn. Classic. :)

Ron's a very talented person, not only does he make really nice bows...but is a good musician as well. Also a great all around person to boot! :)

Pappy, did you get a unbraced picture of that bow? That was what I was impressed with....it holds like 4" or reflex, which makes it a bit of a bugger to string being that long and narrow. It shot very fast though for it draw weight.

No I didn't and wished after the fact I had.I saw it and unlike some of his bow it had no string follow at all.I was in a hurry and just got the full draw.I know he enjoyed shooting with yall,he has
become a really good friend over the years to me and my family.

I thought a ALB had more of a flat belly, where an ELB has more of a rounded belly.
Call it what you want, it is a beautiful bow. And yes Ron was a nice fellow too. Justin
