i remember reading a post on here with one of bens earlier bow- and they were commenting on the glue lines- i was a little surprised- but i must say the fella sure learns from criticism...   :D      :D   the glue lines on this bow are perfect- and i know 'cos i have scrutinized them- couldnt be better if they were cut with a laser!

this bow is beautiful, i just love it, it is really fast, and whisper quiet, stable in the hand- and really accurate!!
the workmanship is exquisite, one can not believe that this is not a glass bow- it is fast!! puts the arrows in exactly the same spot as the arrows out of my glass bows maybe a tad higher at all ranges.
i love the heartwood / sapwood combo on the backing, very pretty.

sexy tips- my very first hybrid bow

i have been extremely lucky, to have recieved two very beautiful bows recently. bows that i will be hunting almost exclusively with this season.
i already took my benbow out last weekend- when i let the deer walk at about 8 yards- i so desperately wanted to shoot it, for me, for the bow, and for Ben. but ethics prevailed, and i let it walk- the shot was just not clean enough!

the other bow i got from bert frelink- a powerful giant of a man.
i know him personally, and him being a "Dutchman",  we share a commonality in language,  (being from south africa- we all speak at the very least, both english and afrikaans, and  afrikaans is simply a derivative of dutch.) and what a gentleman the man is!
i still dont know how he makes such fine, skinny sexy bows- it must be like us trying to whittle a toothpick with a machete.

Berts bow is  boo backed yew. also a very snappy shooter!!

Lucky!  Man, those are beautifully crafted bows.  Now that Wayne has more than his fair share, you guys should send some my way.   :pray:

Greg,
What Wayne neglected to tell you guys, he delivered the Yew wood that I build his bow out of, from the Queen Charlotte Islands to Alberta, roughly a 15-18 hr drive, thought that was pretty considerate and deserving of a little recognition.
Regards.
Bert.

That sounds like a "win-win" scenario to me, Bert.    :)
Beautiful bow.
