I just mailed it to the next man up.
I shot it quite a bit and couldn't get where I felt confident with it. Most likely due to my unorthodox anchor point.
I took a close shot on a pig but the bow was long enough to catch the roof of the blind if I wasn't careful and I wasn't. 😟
However the last three weeks my shooting has been limited due to a nasty slice to the bone on my index finger of my string hand. Made worse by being on the knuckle. So I figured I'd get it mailed before the crazy Christmas rush.
It's got excellent cast and it quiet. I was impressed with that part for sure. But I tend to struggle with bows not cut past center.
However someone will get a great bow in the auction. I appreciate the opportunity.

My javelina hunt with Hope could be termed "target poor", as in 5 days I did not see any. I have enjoyed shooting the bow. Right from the first arrow we clicked and I was sure we would get a pig if we found one. I found she shoots quick and quiet, and has good looks. The carbon limbs are attractive. I appreciate the opportunity to have her for a month. I notice no one else is signed up. If you want to have her for a month, respond to this forum and Terry can add you to the monthly list. Thank you, J T Traditional.

Steve, where did you hunt?

stevem · January 23, 2021, 10:19:34 AM

In the Gila NF (NM) adjacent to the Gila Wilderness. Terry, it would be beneficial to me if you would post several photos of javelina you guys shoot in Texas as I forget what they look like. I wanted to go on your hunt very much, but the covid issue steered me away. Hope you have a great time and find the area "target rich".

I procrastinated too long and GD took May. So I will put in for May 2021, our turkey season.

Ha Brian I hope your turkey hunt goes well...I killed two birds with one shot with her

...I liked the bow so much I ordered one

I still can't thank all of you enough for your participation with Miss Hope and Faith!
I would donate bows again anytime for Tradgang/Saint Jude.
Keep signing up folks.

Folks, Miss Hope is available this month, March and April, and seems spoken for in May. Getting near the end to try out Ms Hope. Terry, if you read this, I plan to send her to TooManyHobbies (per his request dated Jan. 23) in a week or two unless I hear differently from you. Thanks for the test drive opportunity.

Sounds great... keep them busy till the auction... they are great bows for sure. I really enjoyed Hope last year I TX... those 2 bunnies didn't stand a chance. She shoots sweet and mean.

Who ever wins these two in the auction are gonna get some dandies...

Terry Green · February 02, 2021, 04:34:41 AM

Btw... wish Hope was in TX last week as well. Great shooting bows for sure!

Woohoo, Miss Hope arrived this morning. I dared not open the tube until I got a couple customer stops done. After lunch, I opened her up.
Very nice bow, pretty and light.
I strung her up and grabbed a 628 gr. woodie (incl. 125fp) from my recurve. First shot at 10 yards missed high and right. I had to search for it in the grass. lol. 2nd shot was also high and right. I was hoping my 'curve arrows would cooperate, but it looks like they want to be shot just like on my 'curve. 3rd shot I rotated the cock feather in, and right on. I moved back to 15, then 20, and shot 8-10 more.
Then I grabbed 634 gr. woodie from my longbow. Nock was VERY loose, but otherwise shot great. All shots with this arrow would be "deer" kills, but my goal is a spring turkey, so I'll have to tighten them up just a little, but not much.
I'll feel it out a bit before I start shooting BH's.

In anticipation of getting her, I re-read through the entire thread. My count, this bow has
3 Whitetails
1 Mule deer
3 Turkeys
2 Rabbits and
1 Squirrel.
I hope all that mojo followed her to me. I won't be picky, any bird (tom or jake) that gives me an opportunity, I'll do my best to take home.

Get that mojo working, Brian!

Terry Green · March 07, 2021, 03:38:52 PM

Have fun!!! They are great bows.

Is someone babysitting Hope for April yet?

No, jump on it...I'll email the last guy that had it to contact you....

HartHeart · March 11, 2021, 02:02:25 PM

Alright, cool! I may have a chance to add a turkey to its tally this spring;)

HartHeart · March 24, 2021, 04:25:27 PM

I received HOPE today and spent a little time with her. I was amazed by her smoothness, quietness, and accuracy. My other bow is 10" shorter and HOPE was just a pleasure to experience. Fortunately, my 29" 400 Victory RIP's with 300 grains up front fly very well. Better than out of my other bow, in fact. When she arrived, I immediately gave her string a good waxing and checked the brace height which is right under 7.5". I'm curious who is on the list to receive HOPE for May?

HartHeart · March 24, 2021, 04:27:27 PM

I should also mention that I really enjoy the grip and the craftsmanship is exquisite. HOPE looks as good as she shoots.
