I went to the Sterling Harrell 3D shoot last year. I only had one day to shoot so I only brought my Palmer Longbow with carbon and wood arrows. Mr Tommy Robinson was there putting on a Selfbow clinic for those who wanted to build their own bow. He had several of his Selfbows there and asked if I wanted to shoot a round with one. Well of course I would! He grabbed some wood arrows and handed me a bow to see how it shot. After trying a couple bows and different spines arrows I was ready. Longer story short I outshot my score with my Palmer! :scared:
I asked him afterwards if that bow was for sale. He said another guy had dibs on it but if he didn't come buy it it was mine. A few months went by and I called to see if he still had the bow. He did and I was able to make a deal :bigsmyl:
Finally I was able to tune up some arrows and I happened to have some Zewickey 125gr 2-Blade heads in my bow shop that flew great out the bow.
I shot this boar on my first hunt with the bow.

Awesome man! Dang good looking bow and a whole lot of pork. A lot of folks probably think this is dumb, but that's a really good looking hog. Most of the few I've shot have been black.

Congrats again Corey

Way to go sir! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: Nice looking hog AND bow!
Nice pork. I've thought about self bow but really like my Big River LB and recurve. Had a creamy/peach colored boar(@400#) playing cat and mouse with me a couple years ago at Camp Bullis, but never got a shot.
Wavy to go Corey!

I never would have thought I'd like a Selfbow because I'm partial to 3 piece bows. Have always shot them better than a one piece. But after shooting this bow it just has something special about it and it shoots very well with wood arrows.
Give one a try :thumbsup:
