New Bama hunter has arrived

#1 Post by flyne » Wed Nov 21, 2012 1:46 pm

Well today my Bama hunter finely got hear and I must say as far smooth drawing and shock free shooting go its great the fit and finish are spot on I'm really impressed with it and although its been many years since I've shot a hill style longbow I am pretty shore this would be the nicest handling one I've shot yet
Cheers jim

Upload them to photobucket, save to medium size (there will be options there) and then simply cut and past the IMAGE link directly into your message. Don't use the img or url above the message you are creating.

Rod thanks

Jeff it's Curley maple and bamboo core with a real dark stain on it

Buranurra it put a arrow up to my feathers into my butt of plastic so they hit pretty hard

Steve it's been a few years since I shot this sort of poundage and I must admit I'm not as fit as I once was lol but even today it felt easier then yesterday to draw

And the marks on the grip are from my prosthetic

Sounds like and looks the Goods Mate. The Sleeve and Socket T/D peaked my interest, nicely done, has to be with a 102# Draw Weight :shock: or did he misplace a decimal point . One thing though, the Leather Grip is not up to the standard of the rest of the Bow
