Title: Randy's done it again!
Post by: maxpetros on May 07, 2019, 11:56:08 AM
Just got word my primal tech is all done! As usual Randy made another drop dead gorgeous bow. Cant wait to get my hands on it. It's a 64" two piece with a G10 riser, myrtle burl veneers, and springbok overlays. 55#@30"

I'll update when it arrives, Christmas came 7 months early this year!(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190507/8bcb5f3fe8228b2da7d7093b4b989f0c.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190507/90dcc5b82f99600429d89f403e94b363.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190507/78446ae4a8c011fddf9a90680d59ee75.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190507/aefd22302b4cc7596e8fe98e301b4261.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190507/64c0a1079feaf8ca065d7caef7e8ef26.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190507/59baa4a1698c5503d0c86be39837e0aa.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190507/76be168d71f1558373c6b8e85b1ec8a7.jpg)

Beautiful bow!  How do I get in contact with him?  His website seems to not be working?  I'm not on Facebook which seems to be the only option.

You can PM him through the forum here. His username is crittergetter. That's ho I reached out and then he stayed in contact throughout the whole process via text.

You guys are killing me. Every time I see one of Randy's bows, the more I am impressed. I have never shot one of his bows but I think I'll own one at some point in the not to distant future. That man is a craftsman. All I can say is wow!!

Well I've been super swamped the past week but finally found some time Tuesday to get it tuned (took all of about 10 minutes), and then got to shoot it for a while today. I'm absolutely loving this now. There was a brief adjustment period as I've been shooting my ilf recurve pretty much exclusively for the past few months but this bow and I really started to get along. It's dead quiet with absolutely no handshock. It ended up tuning with an ~12gpp arrow and it shoots them very quickly. Ridiculously smooth and feels lighter on the draw than my recurve thar scales 4 pounds lighter. First pic was my first group of the day at 20 and the second was a 30 yard group that was pretty exceptional so I decided to end my session on a good note haha. Overall super pleased with Randy's work and he was great to deal with throughout the whole process (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190518/f5f650bc24c9e010cfc0ffbd344086fb.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190518/9eb0861e6d39e534a7a91b4dfd5a8711.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190518/ffbbd869fade3e7472c75e9cd63db1aa.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190518/e6a4d05121fa59901ba332bfa2b52edd.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190518/54f929ce3fb97af774b92e4d30686cb3.jpg)

Randy makes a beautiful bow and they are dead quiet!! I can't say enough about the bow Randy made for me and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a work of art that shoots as good as it looks. Randy is a great guy to work with during the building process, he keeps you updated on the progress of your bow and sends pictures of the build. The draw cycle is smooth and the bow feels lighter in draw weight than it actually is but when put it on a scale it is exactly the weight it is supposed to be!! 

Randy built you a beautiful bow Max!!
