Although I participated in a couple of this years trades I was also gifted a couple of bows. Each one of them deserve special note because both are made by members who took up the bad habit of making some "bendies".
This is one of those bows, black locust, fummed, 54" and 50+ @ 25"....made by Mr. Gutshot. This bow is very light in mass, very smooth in the draw, and screamin fast. But the most important thing is that it fits me to a "T" and is perfectly calm in the hand with no string noise at all. After about 500 arrows, it sits dead flat and hasn't changed one lick, still well mannered and blazing quick. The tips look like the regular laminated built-up types but are self knocks, yes he chased enough rings to make these tips from the original stave .....anyways took her out to a nice little steam for some nice portrait pics.
Hope they do her justice
