Title: got my trade bow done at last
Post by: danny f on September 16, 2013, 04:44:56 pm

i have just spoken to barry through PM and he doesnt mind the pics going on of his soon to be trade bow. so here they are the bow is an english yew takedown. its 62.5" NTN it pulls 50# @28" it is backed with rawhide and dyed brown with dark wood dye. the tips are buffalo horn. just want to say thanks to pearl drums and blackhawk for going easy on me and thanks to barry for being patient and understanding. this trade has been a test but im glad i took part. hope the bow lasts a long time and barry takes some game with it. heres some pics. for the second time lol.

I couldn't hold out any longer so I took a look and I can't wait to get my hands on her! This is gonna be my first yew bow, and first T/D all wrapped up in one, and this one looks AWESOME on top of it. You're right on Pearl that looks like it's gonna be my favorite bow. I already told Danny I can't wait to get shooting cuz I'll be going back to my buddy's farm in PA to bow hunt over Columbus day weekend so I'd really like to take this one to get one under her belt early. Maybe we can take our first Tradbow deer together. I'll post a pic heavy thread once the bow arrives.
