Christmas in September, thanks Bob! YEW BOW FULL DRAW PICS UPLOADED!!!
« on: September 16, 2015, 12:41:54 am »
I have been working on some trades as of late. One with tracker for so modern recurves and some obsidian hunting points. And the other day I was looking for some snake skins and hunterbob offered to send me one. And every day I still hope that my trade bow will arrive.
Today when I got home from work I had a couple of packages waiting for me by my front door. A long package and a smaller one.  The smaller one was from tracker, I forgot that the two recurves were takedowns. Thanks man they are awesome!

The second package I noticed was from hunterbob. I thought for a second that it was an awful big box for a snake skin! So I got after the Fort Knox style tape job and when I got it open gold poured out of it!  :laugh: I actually had to sit down once the box opened up. Of course I noticed a long package inside all wrapped in paper, foam and another mile of tape. Then I noticed the snake skin which is beautiful and perfect! I couldn't wait any longer so I dove into unwrapping what I'm sure is a bow. Then there it was, a beautiful yew recurve made by hunterbob! I was shocked to say the least! I looked it over for a few minutes then strung it up. What a beaut! I gathered my glove, arrows and arm guard and to the target I went! I shot around 40 or so shots out of it and it shoots smooth and accurate. I absolutely love it! I also shot my other two recurves which shoot great!
 I came in the house and laid the yew bow on the open box when I realized that the box was full of leather! Bob, you completely outdid yourself and went over the top! You're the most giving person I know. You didn't have to do what you did sir!  But I will tell you this, that yew bow will be in the woods this fall for sure! Once again Bob, THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!
Here are a few pictures that I took. There not that great but I had to take a few.
Full draw in a couple of days.
Patrick

P.S. Thank you to all that helped Bob behind the scenes. You know who you are!  :laugh:

It was my pleasure Patrick. I hope the bow serves you well in the deer woods. I know the bow (fury) you made me is over the top . I can tell you poured your heart into the build. And this is my way of saying thank you. You deserve it after. Well you know why.
Thanks again patrick.

You deserve it Partick. Good things come to those who don't think of themselves first. I first learned of Bobs giving nature when he and Tyke traded some stuff last year. Thanks Bob for taking care of Patrick.
