Thanks Bud....I picked up a used Bama bow about 10 days ago. Hated the heck out of it for about 12 hours.....then couldn't put it down.  I knew by the end of the next day that I had to have my own HHA bow, and the research into models began.  Thank God for friends...and for 900+ pages of research material.     :thumbsup:    :thumbsup:

Just because you are passionate about something, doesn't mean you don't suck at it.

I have a new Backset Tembo that I love.  My camera broke so I can't post a picture of it.  I am working on some TP and jsut about have it wooped.  I Hits where I am looking when I hit anchor.  Yestarday I did some stumping with it and my form was on and I was tearing it up.  I think I like the feel of a back set better than a string follow.

Your shootin' bud's got a nice new stick and some authentic style HH leather as well there Jeff.  I'm sure you had absolutely no influence in his decisions.     :archer:

Chris, the Tembo's are tough to beat, great lookers and great shooters. Congrats on a fine bow!
What are the specs?   :thumbsup:

Very very nice. I had a tembo for a short while and I did enjoy it, but with the boo core I sent it on its way. Good looking set up

Thanks for the pics Jeff.....hopefully next year I can make the Chester shoot.  Your alignment looks great....and that stump paid the price for it.  Lol.

Rossco, you need to revise your signature to include the your Expedition specs.
How is it working for you?

After a few days of rain here,today turned out gorgeous. Sunny and in the 50's,perfect shootin' weather.So I did what Mudd would do,grabbed an arm load of bows and headed for my target.Had a blast. Here's a pic of the ones that got shot today. 52-73# at my draw. 64-68",dacron,padded loop skinny FF and endless loop FF strings. I saw another post about handshock from Hill bows. I have a couple that buzz a little after the shot with dacron.Switch them to a FF string and nothing. I really like the padded loop skinny strings.

Thanks David and yes,I have one of those...

I wouldn't get rid of any of the bows in that picture,they're all really nice shooters.If I had to keep only one though,it would probably be the bow on the top in the picture.It's my "BamYew" 66" 63# at my draw. The grip just fits me perfectly,so I love to shoot that bow.
