50# takedown.

#1 Post by bigbob » Mon Feb 06, 2017 5:28 pm

Been a bit quiet on here lately so decided to post some shots of recent takedown I've finished.Came in right on 50# at 28'', and 62 NTN. Riser is Burdekin plum, black wattle and has some lovely grain in it. The accent strip is hairy oak sapwood, and the belly lams are plum. Overlays are hairy oak. It is very quiet and very smooth to draw and shoot.It has felt limb pads, all holes are bushed and double locator pins It also happens to be for sale. It was originally to be for bro in law , but using new thickness glass and stack in came in overweight.I will offer a discount over my regular price to see it go to a good home.Bow will come with custom Astroflight string by Steve Wallace, bow stringer, written warranty and allen key. Pm for details if interested.

I will have a it at Chevallan this coming weekend, after that I will be out of action for some time as I am scheduled for surgery next week and have to keep immobilized for some weeks.Granite Belt is looking very dubious at the moment, much to my disgust but this is must have surgery.

Due to extenuating circumstances this bow is still for sale. It is very quiet, smooth and a great performer.It is offered for sale at $100 off my normal price. Most likely it will be at Granite Belt shoot if it doesn't sell sooner.Pm me if interested. I wont be at the shoot due to surgery etc, but there will be someone to show the bow and test shoot it.cheers.
