The snake bow came in today!
« on: August 31, 2009, 10:22:39 pm »
Hi guys. the snake bow made by woodstick came in today. as soon as i got home from school i drove out to my grandparents and picked it up. man this thing is beautifull. well, the second and third shots with it, the string came out of the nocks on the top limb. i called up mr. tim and he told me that he hadnt had the problem, and that just hitting the nocks a little with a file should solve it. well it did. after about 20 shots i was able to hit softball sized chunks of what used to be a 3d deer. man this thing is nice. really snakey, with a non-bendy handle, really short, and the nicest snake skin i have ever seen on the back of it. i cant wait to shoot at something fuzzy with it. oh, and this thing hits like a ton of bricks, and makes NO NOISE AT ALL. my glass bow sounds like a truck door slamming.

here are some pics, taken by my sister with a  camera phone. now i know why she isnt a photographer.  :P

this is full draw from a knee. one reason i love short bows.


this is full draw with a white background so you can really see the tiller.


all in all, i absolutely love this bow, and i cant wait to get in the woods with it. Thanks to woodstick, and all of you who had a part in this bow comeing my way.  :)
lets just shoot it

Mr. Tim (woodstick) made this osage snake, and wanted to give it to someone that didnt have a wooden bow, but wanted one. i was the one lucky enough to get it, and am absolutly thrilled to have it. shoots real good for me.

Hey Trey, I really think you are shooting that stick all wrong.   It might be best if you just dropped it off the shop today and let me shoot it in for you......i'll try to get it back to you in , hmmm.....March or so.  That way you can go fishing with it.   A new bow like that shouldn't be subjected to deer hunting for the first year or so.   What do you think?  That sound OK to you?

Mr. kieth, you know i'll do jist about anything you need, but you aint getin yer hands on this thing just yet. i'll get it back with an extra layer of osage and a piece of hickory on it if i leave it around you for to long.  ;D

i should get a chance to bring it by today. i can hit with it better than i could the other day. and i'll bring my own arrow this time.  ;D
