Received a bow today. A bendy handled sweetheart from Mr. Bubby. I'm about 66yrs old and been shootin all kinds a bows since about 1963. I got bows made by Fred Bear himself, Brownings and Howett's and a bunch of hand mades. None of them shoot as well as this bow does....just a fact.
It is well mannered, no hand shock, and shoots my telephone poles flat at 25 yards....it's VERY fast with these hunting arrows, and shoots as hard as any bow I have ever shot.....ever. So I promised I'd tell Bubby what I thought when it got here.....well it's the #1 dog in the kennel, gonna go huntin till I cant pull it no more. Had to name the bow "bubby"....it's gonna get the name gold leafed tomorrow.
Didn't mean to embarrass him, but this is one of those once in a lifetime things where everything just comes together perfect.....the man builds very very good bows and thought ya ought to know it.

PS: Bub, it's lean and mean and fits me to a tee....wont ever be able to make it up to you. It's perfect, sir !!!!
-
Bub you are the man friend, but I didnt need ol' Rich to tell me that. I already knew.
Rich if his bows are half what his knives are then Im guessing your words are 120% true. Enjoy that bow buddy.

Me too!!

perhaps Bubby should send me a bow too... >:D
-
sorry fellas, bubby posted it a while back....so I didn't put the stats up....here they are:
hard maple backed Ipe
just over 50" ntn, nicely executed pin knocks
did not weigh it but it is every bit of 60+ at 26" (at least a grunt and a half)
no set, no follow & has slightly flipped tips
It draws very smoothly all the way to where I cave, and at 20 yards the arrow seems to hit as soon as let go, it's very quick. I hear ya dragonman...they are nicer than I make for sure.

Nice bow, Rich and a great job, Bub. You know....I got into this and everyone said...keep em long and wide! Whatever happened to that? LOL!! :laugh:

lesken.....the bow is long and wide, it's the shooter what's "vertically challenged"
Sadie, you sure can embarrass a guy....what's yer bow stats?
I hope ya know the post aint a bubby love fest or nothin....it is just a bow that is "perfect" for me and wasn't nothin said that aint the absolute truth. Dont know if any of you ever picked up a bow and it just felt perfect, shot just perfect, and made yer jaw drop just a tad.....well thats what I got and wanted to brag it up....
