Great news Simon! Pauly had been worried about that delivery for a while now. It was shipped a few weeks ago.


ENJOY!!!

Thank you for the relief. Shipped it two weeks ago and been worried ever since. That bow has been well shot in. I passed it around at marshall and let a bunch of guys shoot it. It was a pleasure to send my second one across the ocean. Hope it suits you well

Congrats Simon, can't wait to see the pics.
I also received a bow from James Parker this past weekend.
I'll have to wait a few days to post some pics. It's a very very nice bamboo backed bamboo belly how with a smorgasbord of other woods sandwiched in it. I've shot some arrows already and it's for sure fast.  Thanks so much James!

Left home friday morning with the wife to spend a couple days on a lake in MN and got home a couple hours ago to find a tube had arrived while I was away. Saw the return address and name and realized instantly that I was now the proud owner of the lean, mean and green bow that Bushy crafted. Very cool bow of elm that draws a smooth 48# @ 25" and puts the arrows where I aim. Yeah I couldn't wait to shoot it and I put 50 arrows through it right after we got some pics taken. It was a pleasure to shoot and will see plenty more arrows loosed soon.
 It's a different design than anything I've made and has Bushy's style all over it, yet it is perfect for me. Thanks so much Rob,
I'm proud and pleased to have one of your bows and will be showing it off to others often.
Here's a few pics guys.
I really dig the green dye. Also check out the cool elm bark handle wrap and strike plate. Cool stuff all around. :)
I ain't broke but I'm badly bent.

And a few more, sorry for the indoor shots. I need a new camera, mine won't do pics in natural light.

Congratulations, Greg! That bow looked really short in Bushy's pictures, looks a lot longer up close with you holding it.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

That's a cool bow Greg.  It looks like it fits you perfectly. 

That is a whopper of a buck on your wall.  You'll have to tell me the story behind that one the next time we share a camp fire. 


Glad Pauly's bow made it safely across the pond.  I'm looking forward to seeing pictures of it and James Parkers bow. 
I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left

Thanks guys, I'm very happy to have it in my collection. I love hanging the bows from friends in the PA community front and center on my bow rack to display and show off to others. I have a good collection going from several of you guys and I do shoot them and take them hunting from time to time too. These trades always are enjoyable wether one on one or a group trade like this I'm always happy when I participate in the fun.

Wow, that is a very cool bow bushy,  That handle wrap against the green really sets it off.   Congrats Greg.

Congrats Greg and Bob. I like the combination of pyramid limbs with flipped tips, and the colors on that thing are too cool.

Well, through process of elimination, I have determined that my maker is YOU, PatM ;) 
Hope you can get her all finished up in time for the big dance...our Archery season is only 4.5 weeks away and I need a bow :)
No pressure.  >:D
"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso
