Title: A few pictures of my new Palmer recurve.
Post by: matt steed on February 16, 2018, 06:58:00 PM
I have always wanted a Palmer recurve, so I finally called
Mr. mike Palmer and bought one. I got the Bocote Classic. The riser is made from Bocote and Ebony, the limbs are carbon with Bocote veneers. 62 inches and 50#'s@30.
It is a great shooter, I am very pleased with it. I am going to use it during turkey season. I have been shooting longbows for a good while, so it's taking a little adjusting.    (http://i.imgur.com/8OaYgzj.jpg)

While talking to Mr. Mike, we started talking about Fred Eichler using his Palmer recurve to complete the Trad Slam. I told Mr. Mike how much my son liked Fred Eichler. Mr. Mike asked me what my sons name was. When my bow arrived it had a signed cap and picture from Fred Eichler. To say that he was excited would be an understatement.   :biglaugh:

Classy move by Mr. Palmer to provide the youngster the hat and signed picture. That would seem to be in the category of exceeding expectations. Enjoy that bow. I think you will like it!
