Title: Cool package received (pictures added)
Post by: LEGIONNAIRE on July 22, 2011, 01:04:15 pm

Well I was at the post office yesterday morning and the lady tells me I received a large parcel. I was kinda expecting it to be a bow since it had been a whilesince the bow trade was over. Non the less I was very exited so I rushed home to open my package.. The bow was covered in bubble wrap and I could barely make out its shape biut it looked like a recurve of some time. When I tear of the wrap I see the beautiful contrast of bamboo and IPE and the graceful curves of a deflex reflex bow. The bow is absolutely cool, especially the nice layers of wood in the handle. I decided to string and shoot my poplar arrows so I took it to the backyard and shot a few arrows into my haybale. I have to say its a very nice bow, the contrast is specially nice. I tried making out the name of the sender but was barely able too since it had faded, but I beleive it was someone named Brian. Anyways thankyou Brian.
My camera is charging at the moment so I will have pictures later this evening.

Here are the pics

I'd have to guess it came from Bryan Irwin.  Bryan makes nice BBI's, I'm sure this one is no different.

The lower limb looks a little softer on the pic,so if you favor a stiffer lower limb you actually might be doin that.
