Anyone shoot a Slick Stick? I recieved my new one the day before the hurricane tore up my world in which I have no water or elec and snake bit on my bow hand (copperhead so cudda been worse) on top of all that. 😏 Lol. So dont know anything abt how its gonna shoot. Im getting anxious. Anyone have one and like it a lot?? Its the newer recurve..

Wow Ronnie, you have been through a lot. I would think in LA you'd have a much bigger chance of being bit by a cottonmouth rather than a copperhead? Sorry your having rough time brother. Thank God... stuff can be replaced but people can't

Wudstix · September 04, 2020, 03:40:17 PM

Wow, sit back and recoup. The bow will shoot fine I'm sure. You certainly will remember that first couple shots.

Geez, Ronnie. You have sure had a run of troubles. When your luck starts turning let me know. I'll want some lottery numbers from you.

Ronnie Newell · September 04, 2020, 05:10:08 PM

Hey!! Good idea..😊

GCook · September 07, 2020, 06:06:36 PM

So I need to know, did the snake die from the bite?

Ronnie Newell · September 07, 2020, 09:01:59 PM

Yep. 😊 It got a funny lookin shape, wiggled around a little and then just died. Strange, huh?
Btw hows the foot?

Ronnie Newell · September 07, 2020, 09:04:28 PM

And was gonna tell you the hurricane blew my Ariz. Unit 27 hunt. 😠

GCook · September 08, 2020, 02:26:51 AM

That stinks. I hate to hear you having this run of bad circumstances my friend. You may need to at least come hunt with me at my place for a few days after things get settled for you.

Wudstix · September 09, 2020, 10:52:43 AM

Wish I had something to offer you besides prayer. !!!

Ronnie Newell · September 09, 2020, 12:48:22 PM

Thanks brother, I dont need anything but your prayers and I REALLY appreciate those. Lots of praying is no doubt kept me as safe and well off as I am. A LOT of these people dont have anything left. Thanks again.

GCook · September 09, 2020, 02:59:29 PM

Ronnie is as nice a fella as I've ever met. If I am half as tough and capable at his age I will consider myself well off.
Hope we get to share a camp or two this fall bud. You stay safe and take care of yourself and that wife.

Wow buddy sorry to hear all that. The slick stick is probably The best bow for the money. Shot one for years then gave it to my older brother to start him out. The bamboo limbs are fast and smooth as Butter to pull. Riser is perhaps as comfortable as they come. Really like bodnik. They also completely honor their warranty and my friend who was honest and said that he left his bow in a hot car received a free replacement.

Once your back on your feet if you're ever in the Baton Rouge area hit me up and we can go shooting.

Basinboy · September 09, 2020, 08:11:41 PM

The bow will shoot fine I'm sure. Take care of yourself Mr Ronnie
I'm waiting on a new longbow

SlowTurtle · October 05, 2020, 04:25:14 PM

Love mine!

Ronnie Newell · October 05, 2020, 08:09:35 PM

I think I love mine too Larry. lol. Ill know for sure by this weekend, I m headed to the woods with it for the first time tomorrow. ( hurricane messed me up). The woods are so tore up though that I'm not expecting too much luck..

Wudstix · October 06, 2020, 02:25:51 PM

Tell us how she does in the tore up woods.

degabe · October 07, 2020, 09:11:24 PM

Nasty weather and critters that bite, and too hot are the reasons I live up north in a swamp. I'll take the snow and cold over heat any day. Spent my time in the hot climates when I had to work for Uncle 50 or so years ago.

Ronnie Newell · October 07, 2020, 10:25:52 PM

Well I made my way to my stand by crawling under and climbing over downed trees, hot and sweaty I climbed up and settled in just to get a text from the wife that I need to come back home NOW cause theres another bad hurricane headed our way... Lol... I wanna go back home to Texas....😪😪😪 😊
