Three years ago today...

Holy smokes... so around this time each year, I think "I should be coming up on my widow-anniversary." So I pulled up my "waiting" thread to find the date (which is September 18th). But when I went to the beginning of the thread, lo and behold, on this day, 3 years ago, I called up Roger and ordered my green stained deer-hog-rabbit-javi-turkey-diller-raccoon-squirrel-fox-ram-blackbuck-rattlesnake killing stick and string!

To say that is my favorite bow would be an understatement. It was and remains the most expensive and prettiest bow I own. I have dragged that thing through all sorts of stuff... its got dings, scratches, blood stained on it... and it is still as good looking as the day it arrived.

I believe there is value beyond dollars in a bow or gun that you feel connected to and shoot well. It in itself becomes an extension of oneself.
And that is a good looking bow to boot.

Some people spend a lifetime trying to find the one bow for them! Glad you got it done early !!

Bows are like women. You need a lot of them...…….wait, nevermind, scratch that!

I owe the shortcutting process to all the great folks here on TBH trad forum. I had started off with a Samick Sage and I had in my mind, just from reading, the bow I thought would be perfect. But since I was shooting 3D from invites from here... everybody was more than eager to let me shoot their bow to see if I'd like it. I probably shot more than a dozen bows before Mark (Chunky) let me shoot his one evening... or I should say, I decided to take him up on the offer. I had a hard time putting down that bow. It fit like a glove. They went inside to eat... I stayed outside and got chewed up by skeeters...

and that is how I came to order my bow... It ain't perfect. There is probably one thing I'd change about it if I could... but nothing is ever really fully perfect and sometimes you just adjust because you know it'll take care of you if you do.

I got the first one in February, 2009. I own 4 now. 3 are the exact same specs, one was a lighter rehab bow that Bob fixed me up with when I first screwed up my neck and couldn’t pull my regular bows. The only reason I get new ones is because every once in a while I get a hankering for something new and pretty.

Yeah, as I was writing it out, I was thinking the same thing. Back then, I don't think I'd have imagined I'd have taken so many different kinds of animals with it. What is interesting though is that once I realized it was the "one" and I stopped looking around for bows... I did focus more on the different things I could take with it, etc.

I got my first BW in 1976. 74 @ 28 , I added snake skins some where along the way.
I could never guess how many miles it has on it.
It has been every where from the north pole to Africa and Australia.
It has never failed me.

I see now.... You ordered your bow this time of year so you'd remember your wedding anniversary, lol

Congrats on a fine bow my Friend. Like mentioned that is a Hellava a game list for just 3 years!!!

When you think about how I came about getting my bow... it kinda all started back then... before I was even born. Makes you wonder how many bows Black Widow has sold because of this.
