EXCELLENT! I was sweatin' it man. The USPS lost track of it and I was pissed. Im so relieved it landed. My entire thought during the build was wrapped around you killing elk in the mountains. Thats why its 57" long and simple. Glad you like it.

Congrats ElkTracker! She looks sweet! Good job Pearl!!

PEARL Thanks sooo much for this I feel very lucky to have recieved it and I cant wait to take a monster Roosevelt Bull with it this Year!!!

It shoots EXCELLENT!! SILENT< DEAD IN THE HAND and puts them arrows right where you look!!! I cant wait to get this thing out stump shooting with me in the next couple days! I feel very blessed and cant wait to show this beauty off to some of my pals and co workers!

The string and knock points are great too!! Excellent work as always!! Now I need to figure out how to put it down and stop carressing it down!! It sure makes it hard to type!!

 Luckily my wife is in love with her as much as I am, she keeps taking it from me and I can tell she is getting a little jelous :laugh:  Thanks again PEARL!!!! and all involved in helping and organizing this years swap!

Now I need to get some progress done on mine now that im done with the home sale and moving :)

Nice score, Josh! That looks like a sweet bow for sure.


I just got my staves in the mail from Dean Marlow (swell guy to do business with). I have a straight, clean 68" piece of osage that has recurve written all over it. I can't wait to get started. I just need to kick this stomach bug I've got. I puked my brains out on the 3D course yesterday with Bryce and Steve b. :-\

I think he likes it Pearly!Haven't seen a grinn that big since Christmas. That must be a big relief after getting lost in the post. Great job on customizing it  for  your guy. You must have really did a lot of homework on that one.
