Merry Christmas to me!!!!
Oh yeah, and to you guys too.
My Christmas present to myself..........(I can't trust the socks and sweaters brigade to come through like this so I had to take matters into my own hands)
Just when I had myself convinced that I wasn't going to buy another high dollar bow for a while, get to know the ones I have, BAM!!! There's that pretty wood, specs I need on a bow I've been eyeing anywayand before you know it someone is slipping my wallet out. I'm not sure there is anything more dangerous than a traditional bow addiction.
(It is fun though I'll give it that )
I've come a long way haven't I Arthur?
Horne's Archery "Brush Bow" longbow
60"AMO 56#@29" , The riser is Bacote with Macassar Ebony palm with ebony overlay.
The limbs are "DIRTY" bamboo with bacote caps on the tips.(Will draw right at 60# at my draw length)
I hear the words Bacote and Bamboo now and I'm like Homer Simpson with a Cheesburger.........Mmmmmmmmm Baaaaaaaacote. [8D]

Matt, ya know... I did try to warn you. The traditional bug doesn't bite everybody, but the ones lucky enough to get it, they get bit HARD! You have indeed come a long way, but it ain't really your fault.

A nice Palmer just popped up with 2 sets of limbs too, a double carbon set in a perfecthunting weight and a lighter single in a slightly lighter weight that would be great for 3D.
My problem is that I haven't figured out what I like more yet........longbows or recurves?
I still have to mug you for that PSA X Bacote you have, maybe snag a PL here soon, I wanted to try a Pronghorn 3 piece longbow and I'm really afraid to find a Habu Death Adder longbow. Not to mention the Morrisons and Robertsons,
I'm beginning to have a problem.[:-]I'm starting to justify $800 for a hunk of wood that flings a hunk of wood.

Thank goodness for "Guide programs" and discounts!
Must find cheaper hobbies.......like collecting buttons or dust bunnies or something.
