Really nice looking bow. I sure like a short bow for small game hunting. I would love to see a pic of you at your full 28" draw. I am having a hard time with the "no finger pinch" Maybe you just have strong enough hands to handle the string angle and you have a very good release. None the less that string angle has got to be pretty steep. How about a full draw pic

First I've seen of his bows - a 50" longbow? I do like the walnut accents in the osage riser - nice looking.

Its a beaut.

He is one fine craftsman, and a treat to shoot with. Last year he brought a real "drooler" bow into the camp at Baltimore. I was gonna show pics, but my external hard drive...the one with all my pics from the last couple of years

is on the fritz. Dimmat.

If you are lucky enough to get a bow from Bill, you have something to be proud of! He has seen me shoot, so he never offers to sell me anything. Appearances, you know. :rolleyes:

I don't think I'v heard him (or "of" him) offering to sell a bow of his. Doesn't mean he doesn't - just at the three or so shoots I've seen him at, and shot with him, and admired his bows at - I haven't heard him talk about it, come to think of it :confused: .

I was wondering why my hat was a little tight this am. Thanks for the compliments .
Kathy you shoot just fine . I just figured you already had enough bows. ( if there is such a thing) "[dntthnk]"

I'm guessin that you picked evey spot that has an arrow in it Killy.

ber643 · July 04, 2007, 12:47:00 PM

Ahhh, she just left her "group tightener" home that day - ya can't remember everything, all the time -

Golden Hawk · July 05, 2007, 05:35:00 AM

where can I get one of them group tighteners Bernie?

Golden Hawk · July 05, 2007, 05:49:00 AM

Well this isn't quite to full draw but here is a draw pic.

Golden Hawk · July 05, 2007, 05:51:00 AM

Tried about 20 times and my daughter kept missing me at full draw. I even held it for quite a bit waiting on her.

ber643 · July 05, 2007, 07:46:00 AM

They are a Marine Corps "Issue", and Killie was a "Navy Brat" so she had access

. I'll loan you mine a while, Leroy - it appears I haven't been using it as much as I should have lately anyway - :D

Golden Hawk · July 05, 2007, 08:03:00 AM

I'll Take it Bernie! What ya need in trade? LOL!!

ber643 · July 05, 2007, 09:02:00 AM

Hmmmm - lets see now, if I was to pull a gen-u-wine 51# @ 28" "Peckerwood Bow" between 26 - 27 inches only, it should come out close to 45# or less, huh? I'd rather it was 40-45# @ 28" (giving me a little more leeway for those "bad days") but that 51# @ 28" might just be do-able ...........

Golden Hawk · July 05, 2007, 09:06:00 AM

sorry Bernie! you Ain't gettin my bow. Guess I'll keep the spread pattern. LOL!! Not much of a spread when you can pull three arrows at one time with one hand! LMAO!

ber643 · July 05, 2007, 09:41:00 AM

LOL - That's what I was thinking - but who am I to question your (unresonable) desires for improvement

(Actually it was all just a big scam to make sure you really wanted that purty bow - Bill told me to do that.) "[dntthnk]"
