Aw, I bet you'd make it a beauty too, James.

I don't know about all that Bernie.We will see.

I can saw stuff up in thin pieces and with a can of smooth-on make most things I want but I have not tried a regular back bow before.You know me.I am more of a glass and carbon kind of guy.

I wanta see it and shoot it when you get it all gussied up, James. (I don't pull longer than you do.) Just Hush up and get busy! LOL

Oh I don't care how far you pull it Bernie.I know you are not strong enough to hurt it any. :D It will be 3 weeks or so before I get it but I will probably have 2 or 3 to play with by the time we go to Hickory.

You're killing me. Have one on order and can't wait. I already own a Windtalker by Dryad Bows. Have been shooting a bushwacker for several months now and love shooting it. Just get goose bumps thinking about it. Can't wait. You're killing me or did i already say that.

Yep that's her all right! Great picture Mike!

I finaly was able to get her tuned today. I was able to do it nice and easy and with my three year old daughter in tow who didn't really want to be there either. So considering I had to keep an eye on her, and tune the bow and it went easy, well, it's a good shootin bow!
After that I took her out the the range and was really able to put her through the paces. Once I figured out how to shoot this bow, man I was shooting 6" groups at twenty yards pretty consistantly until my arm got tired. This bow flat SHOOTs. It's not as forgiving as the WindTalker, but I think that's to be expected considering the huge difference in Lenghts. I have always been a gap shooter, but I found out today that this bow seem to do better shooting it more instictivly. Once I stopped "trying" so hard, I shot it great! OH and I was shooting those Sitka Spruce arrows I made up in the Build-along. They shot just dandee!
This is my new go to bow.
thank you so much Mike and son!

oh yeah one more thing...when I was at the proshop today tuning her, I got the chance to get in an Ameristep "doghouse" blind. It's one of those really short ones you can't stand in. I was able to kneel or sit and use the bow at a normal cant with plenty of room between roof and floor!

Good deal Derek! Man you have a Windtalker and a BW?! Man two nice ones for sure! Now get out there and put it on a critter!!

Congrats Derek! She's a real looker and I know she'll be a sweet shooter as well. I've shot the prototype bow with the garolite belly and was extremely impressed with it. I've got a horn bellied Bushwacker on order that I hope to have by Turkey season -- I can't wait! This will be my third Dryad bow and they just keep getting better and better!!!!
