Well so far my deer season has been rained out.  However, I was lucky enough to punch a unicorn tag. Unfortunately, USPS has made blood trailing very difficult. Hopefully I'll be able to make my recovery tomorrow with no meat loss.

Beautiful bow Evan!  Did you also buy a lottery ticket this week?

[WESTBROOK]

Very nice bow!!

Tell us more...

[Old Gray Hill]

Gorgeous bow Evan! Congrats!! 

[evgb127]

Well, I probably shouldn't have joked about meat loss before the bow actually arrived...

Fortunately, the bow was well packaged and appears to be fine.

So, about this bow.  It's 66", yew lams, and scales at just over 48@28".  It's been through the hands of some great guys.  I can't wait for the rain to clear so I can try her out. 

[Old Gray Hill]

Thank the Lord!! That's why I always use PVC tubes.

[WESTBROOK]

Does it have glass or is it a "Natural" ?

Sweet Bow!!

[evgb127]

Does it have glass or is it a "Natural" ?

It has brown glass on the back and clear glass on the belly.  Pictures don't do this bow justice.

"Thank the Lord!! That's why I always use PVC tubes."

UPS did the same thing to a bow I shipped in a PVC tube.

[evgb127]

The problem with shipping in tubes is that they are more inclined to roll and get crushed.  If you use tubes, tape a triangular priority mail ship box to the middle (they're free at your post office) or build your own.  Do whatever you can to make sure your package doesn't roll.

Evan, that is an excellent tip..!! I'll remember that next time..!!

[Old Gray Hill]

Great tip, thanks!

A couple of pics of my SPL Pacific Styk I took while out hunting recently. Didn't get a chance to stalk anything with it as my wife was doing the hunting with her rifle most of the time, but it was nice to carry it around. I put the Selway quiver on it as an experiment and it felt OK but suits a recurve better. I might try and get a smaller 4 arrow strap on quiver for it down the line.

Great pics!!! I too took a few while out monday evening. Sometimes I forget I'm hunting and just wanna stare at the bow lol

[evgb127]

That Cheetah looks great in its element.

[Tim Reese]

Thanks! She is a beauty. Like I said I sometimes find myself staring at it instead of focusing on hunting 

[Wilderlife]

They are things of beauty. I had a laugh on a different forum recently about this, in that I'm a much better shot with my recurves, but I feel like I look much cooler when walking around the bush with an ASL. 

[Eecho]

I was wondering what draw weight everyone thinks works best for deer hunting with an ASL.  I see a lot of low 50s and mid 40s mentioned in the post. But what's everyone's opinion. Other than the one that shoots the best!

[Wilderlife]

I have two ASL's.

51# and 65# at my draw lengths.

Total tally with them? One rabbit with the 51# and one pig with the 65#.  I'd happily take a deer with either of them , based on my experience with other bows.
