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.
