Absolutely, buddy! I am pumped for ya! Going to pick up a deer at the taxi, is like coming down the stairs on Christmas morn!
That's awesome Jesse, can't wait to see him!
I've been a busy man this week. Got the grass mowed Tuesday before work, and the house power-washed today before work as well as cleaned the building up. Got half a dozen arrows done up for 3D, and they will be ready to shoot tomorrow! Only working 9 hours tonight so I can go home and get a few hours of sleep before heading to town with the wife and baby! Yard work to do Saturday, and beer to drink Saturday night! Things are TOO good!

Ric, I took him to Roger Fore down in Coolville. He did a great job and I'm really happy with it. I'll get some good pics up tomorrow.

Flat out awesome! I haven't pulled anything over 100 yet and likely won't. The throttle response is amazing. When driving my truck If I got stuck behind a semi on my way home I had two options, get home 10 min late, or look for an opportunity to pass and hope it was enough. Now I just drop it down a gear or two.. He gone. Room to spare. The 2nd gear pull will slam you back. 15-60 in 2nd takes mere 2-3 seconds. 3rd gear pull is even more impressive. Handling in a curve is awesome, it has a Nuremberg tuned suspension, makes for a stiffer ride but it's a breeze in the curves. All of that in Cadillac trim.
I took mine from a few years back there. Everything ab it was great. Except the stiching down that back is really starting to show up. After only two years.
I probably said TOO much but, "Can I say any more?"
ickle:Guys and gals, they're all cleaned,de-burred,smoked and toted up with smoke. Now it's just recon,treestand erections and practice at the target butt!

Here is a good one that happened to me this year.
I went to a local Bowyer in northern Ohio to see his shop since I had just bought one of his longbows from a dealer in my area the month before. Great guy and the tour was really cool.
Well we get back into the shop where he has his sales floor set up and I start looking at all his bows while talking with him.
I come to one that looked weird (short) and it was heavy on the draw weight (which I like) so I ask to shoot it. He sets up the target and after a few shots I am in love.
He tells me the bow didnt come out the way he wanted it to so I could have it for $200. if I wanted it. I took it right there and then and shot it for a few months until one day I noticed a split starting in the riser. I called him up and he asked me to bring it by when I could. A couple of weeks later I stop by and he gives it the death sentence.
Now before I bought it he told me that this might happen and if it did he would replace it.... Which he did.
It took awhile but I finally got a call to come pick up my bow anytime. When I got there he handed me an African wood longbow built to my specs as a replacement. This bow had more than $200. worth of wood in it and was a trophy compaired to the self bow that I had bought originally.
I asked what the difference was and he said NOTHING. He wanted to make sure that I never had another issue with my bow and that's why he elected to use this better wood for the replacement. This replacement was at least a $600 - $700. retail bow and I got it for free!.
Cant say enough good about this guy!!

That's awesome man. If there is one thing I have learned about the archery community that last few years, it's that mod trad oriented guys are just great people. Lots of those guys are on this site TOO.
Glad it worked out man. Nothing like a finely crafted stick bow!

Awesome stuff Tiny! Congrats on the great experience and new bow. Wish all people had the scruples this bowyer has.
