Default The Life & Times of Yarra

Well, I was the first inline to have the pleasure of spending time with Yarra! I would like to thank Russ for doing this for us! I figure I'll start a thread where we can all keep our eyes on her Journey, a place to post our stories and pictures of the time we spend with her.

I got the postal slip in the mail this morning saying I can pick her up today! I spoke with Russ for a while on the phone this afternoon, great guy! I'm off to the post to pick up my new friend! I'll be back...

On the limb belly, which is why I done it in Yellowheart so the names will stand out.

I spoke with Russ for a while on the phone this afternoon, great guy!
Hmmmmmmmm wonder if you will have the same kind words after you have shot her

I got her all stung up, tied a quick nock point so I could shoot a few arrows tonight! This is what my 1st 3 arrows looked like from an elevated 15 yards! The Yarra is a bit heavier of a bow than I'm used to but I think I like it! It definitely sends the arrows downrange with authority. I just grabbed some POC 60/65 woddies that come in around 630 grains! BAM!!!!!!! They smack my bag with power!

Joe.

Hopefully you'll be able to tag a couple of rabbits with her.
