Title: Can anybody id this bow
Post by: sticshooter on July 16, 2007, 06:40:00 PM
This bow belonged to a very good friend of mine. He sold it a couple of years ago to another friend of mine. I am going to buy this bow and would like to know if anyone has any info on who the bowyer is?  It is named the Swamp Stick and has the name Thomas on it. I plan on having it refinished and might hunt with it this years. This bow we Always have a place on my rack. She smokes an arrow 55#@26" and I draw 29". so anyone have any ideas?Thanks<><  (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/fishrofmen1/DSCN2672.jpg)  (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/fishrofmen1/DSCN2673.jpg)  (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/fishrofmen1/DSCN2676.jpg)

Thanks Rob. She is sweet and spits arras really nice. For some reason I can shoot this well without a bow quiver on. Hopefully someone will know something about it.<><

Dave heck I think he had it for 6 or 7 years. And I think it was used when he got it. I will have to call him tomorrow and find out for sure.<><

I had one that could be it's sister made by a fellow named Tobin in 93(I think he was in Minnesota). He doesn't build them anymore.
