A Gringa has gone south
Morning All, I am now a proud owner of a Gringa. Thanks Rod it is Beautiful. As I shoot of the knuckle, no shelf, I asked Rod if he could make me one, similar to my mate Ferdy, only 50lbs not 90lbs. A custom made bow what more does one want. Hopefully Rod will tell you the timbers he used. All I wanted was white timber and a dark riser under clear glass. I now have two custom made bows, one a Gringa by LBRod, and the other, one of my ELB's that need some loving attention which it received from Nick Lintern of Norseman Bows. Nick did a great job on restoring it. Now next year when we came back to shoot at Gladstone and surrounding areas I can have a Gringa to shoot with. Thanks Rod. Cheers Roadie.

Welcome to the family, Grant!
Lately, if life were treating me any better, I'd be suspicious of it's motives!
Re: A Gringa has gone south
Rod help, have you any pictures of the Bow. Will try and take some tomorrow, weather permitting.
Hi Sue no shirt yet, will have to look into the possibility of getting one, not to sure what one has to do to get one. Cheers Roadie.

Re: A Gringa has gone south
I can't let this go on for those who don't know MORT made a perfect kill shot on the Gringa straight though the heart, killed it dead.

Thanks for putting the pics up Jeff. It sure is a sweet shooter. A job well done Rod. Enjoy the pics. Cheers Roadie.
Re: A Gringa has gone south
That's a beautiful looking bow.
Re: A Gringa has gone south
Wenge & Osage on bamboo limbs and antler tips? I love it! Another triumph Rod! Congrats on acquiring such a cracker of a bow, Grant.
