Hey Gang,

The bug got me, BIG! I couldn't resist ordering a 68" 55# at 28" Dual Shelf Robin Hood Bow.
Note the Serial number of #50 of 50.

(That does not mean Craig has sold out, I just asked if I could have the last one in the series. He said, Yes!)

I have always wanted a Dual Shelf Bow. My friend, Leo Markert, has told me I need to develop the left side as well as the right side.

So, here she is!

Aw! Matt!! You just had to post this one huh?

You dawg!!!!

Not really, congratulations buddy!!

Now tell me how she feels... nothing dirty... just talk to me man!!

I wish you lived a lot closer.

God bless,Mudd

PS: I think we will need some action shots from both sides.

Nice, I like the dual shelf. The wait is over for me. My itch has been scratched also.  Robin Hood #11, LH 68" 45@28 showed up today.

Very cool Matt. I like the dual shelf idea. Makes it more marketable if you decide to pass it along!   :bigsmyl:

I bet Ole Robin Hood could shoot lefty and righty. That is what gave me the idea (Plus, Leo's encouragement).

Craig was willing to do it. Thanks, Craig Ekin! Great Fellow!

Plus, since it is #50 of 50 with a Dual Shelf, I thought that would be kind of unique, too.

I hope to get some action shots with my right handed arrows and my left handed arrows. Which end goes on first?

This thread went on forever. How come whenever I make a post the thread dies?

Rob your right!,I thought I had it all together as to my likes and dislikes in bows ,now these Hill style bows are calling me with the allure,passions and intrigue like I've never felt,almost a primial feeling,hard to explain!

Steve, "Hill style bows are calling me with the allure,passions and intrigue like I've never felt,almost a primial feeling,hard to explain!"

I have tried to explain it to some folks but never seemed to get it right.

I can tell you it's  just as much of how the bow makes me feel about myself when I have it in my hand and especially when I'm out in the woods as it is how the bow feels in my hand.

It sure doesn't hurt that they're just beautiful to behold.

God bless,Mudd

Ben this one is 67" and 47@27. I usually shoot around 55-58lbs so it's a little lighter than I'm used too, but man it draws smooth as silk!

Hey Steve, that would be a heck of a fight Bud!   :biglaugh:  

My new Natural should be here in a few more weeks so I'll have even more fuel to add to this fire...it's gonna be a beauty!!!

Thanks for the compliments guy's...glad you enjoyed the pics!
