    Started this bow last winter,and didnt think I would get her done by hunting season. I moved this summer and did not get back in the shop till about two weeks ago. Heck, I had to build a new shop before I could get out in one. lol. I finished this bow about two weeks ago and took her out for opening day last sat. Didnt see any thing but small bucks, small 6 and basket 8s. I wanted a doe, but did not see a single one. Oh well, Ive still got all season to hunt.

    This bow is bamboo backed Ipe trilam. It is 65" ntn. 62lbs at 28". A real snappy shooter. It is made of bamboo, ipe, osage. The tips are ipe, osage, and whitetail deer antler. The tip pics never work out for me. They are always blurry. Sorry. The grip is buffalo leather. I wraped the limbs with sisal for aesthetics. I was going to put mescal beans and feathers off of the grip ties, but it ended up to noisy for my likeing, so they didnt stay. The bow is a slight R-D design.

    Kent, you have the same hair do, you had the last time I saw you.

    Dont hate me because im sexy. I have been sporting the Kojack due for about 6 years now. And the great thing, I can always grow it back. Its all there, just cut off. I like my due, it reduces the friction on the sex machine I call a body.


    Bring it on. Ill be busy this weekend, and not sure about the others in Oct.. We will get something worked out.

    Yep, Russ got to eat dirty, and you ate???? Awww ha, awww, ha.
