Well it came down to me having to go to the parcel farce depot to pick up my Halo , the bastards charged me £86 to release her ....... BUT SWEET CHILD OF MINE IS SHE A BEAUTY , i have been like a kid all day at work wanting to put her together . I've just strung her and set the brace height , i will put the beaver balls on tomorrow and get the arrows made up . Pictures will follow in the morning , after i have a play . She looks even better in my hand than i remember , Cheers Russ . Also a big thank you for the Enigma bow jacket , fits great mate . Thanks Joe for the Tabs , they'll work great for me and a thank you to Bobby for sending the fletching tape . I really do appreciate everything you've done Russ she really is amazing , now for setting her up . This is the bit i'm lookin forward to , tuning and fine tuning . Hints and tips are welcome :d , i cannot wait for morning
MAN OH MAN I have been waiting on this thread, Congrats Bails, you have definately been patient. I hope you enjoy it as much as I expect you will. Cant wait for some pictures.
I got to thinking, you could probably set up a small target range in your house and fire off a few arrows :evil: A guy with a brand new bow shouldnt go to sleep without shooting it.:d :d
SWEET!!!!!!! Looking forward to the pics! I'm glad she arrived safe and sound, let the fun begin!!!!!!!!!!!
SLEEP... You're kidding??? If he doesn't shoot it today He'll not sleep tonight... nope, not a wink!! Congrats man, we're waiting to hear all about it. woodsman
Dave. Glad you have finally got her and sorry you had to pay the ransom to get her out. Did you show them the card to prove it was a present:d Enjoy her mate.
Damn, I was wondering what you guys cooked up to avoid the ransom, I wished it worked, nice try though!
Russ ( cousin across the pond ) I LMAO at the card , i'm glad Aunt mentioned i was into archery lol . Rob I'm using gold tip traditionals 3555 , with 100grn inserts and 125grn points . Steve and Joe i'm definately gonna have some fun mateys . Guys i'm gonna have a bash at setting the nock first , i'm studying Byron Fergusons "become the arrow" so i'm confident this bit should work out ok . I am gonna take my time , so i don't mess things up .... so bare with me lol . ( I JUST WANT TO SHOOT HER ) .
I've set my Brace height at 6 1/4" , i'm hoping thats ok ? . now for the nock , i'll try 1/8 above 90degree line and go from their .
We taught Russ good here in Texas didn't we Dave?:d Looking forward to the pictures and progress reports!
Honestly guys , they are messing my shifts about . i just finished work and i got to be back in work in 7 hours time , my courtesy picture will be on here tomorrow i promise . Just a quick question , does anybody else bareshaft tune or just fletch and go ? RLoving , you definately taught him good
HMMMMMMMMMMMM I really can't remember ole limp lizard teaching me anything apart from cussing.:d Dave. It must be killin you to have the bow and not shooting it. Trust me mate just make up those arra's and shoot Ifn you can also post a pic of the card I put in to hopefully avoid the ransom.
I will do that for ya Russ How about nock point Russ , i set it 1/8 above 90degrees .... does that sound about right to you ? and the arra's are already made up mate , i couldn't help myself . I had to do something , it been raining stair rods all day :d . Oh yeah , i also brought home my big target ... just incase i miss the Rhineheart 18-1
Mate , wrapped up in my Enigma jacket( i really cannot thank you enough ) she was snug as a bug in a rug . I have a bit of muscle tremble as full draw also , but i'm not used to holding all the power at full draw yet . That is something i'm gonna be work on . Laters , i'm off to work
