A few months back, Steve Dollar our neighbor fell in love with our new Orion 3 pc bow and we worked out a deal to get one in his hands.  Steve has been around archery for a long time and has appeared in Jim Hamm's books from time to time.  He also is a very accomplished big buck hunter with traditional equipment.  The wall in his living room will take your breath away.

Well anyway last Saturday while I was hunting with Rusty, Steve was picking up his new Orion Recurve.  She is a beautiful bow with a Cocobolo riser with bocote swoop and highlights.  Limbs are bamboo with bocote veneers.  Specs are 52# and 58".

Anyway he tuned it up when he could during the week.  Steve is a SWAT officer and spends the time we are resting, knocking down doors and handling the less friendly folks around.

We checked in as the week went by and he was excited about his shooting.  On Thursday he was complaining that he was shooting 1" right at 20 yds.  Heck I can't tell if I'm shooting 1" right.  LOL

On Friday morning he took off for his secret spot in OK.

He sent me this pic this morning and promises to complete the story tonight.

 

Here is his caption:

"Hey guys,
Here is the first of many that I will take with the new bow.  I'm starting to shoot it as well as any bow I have ever owned.  It performed flawlessly and was a pleasure to carry in the field.  Thanks again, I love it!

Steve Dollar"

I'll fill in the story as I get it.

Awesome!

Can't wait for the story.

BTW  See if he can send some of that Mojo down this way...

Congrats to Steve! Looks like you made him a real nice bow Mike.

wow, nice buck! what county in Oklahoma?

I'd love to see some pics of the bow up close if you have any.

Looking forward to the story!!!  Congrats to Steve!     I am curious whether Steve knows Steve Clagget who is or was on the Dallas SWAT team. I really have not talked to Steve since I played football with him back in college but have seen him on TV on Dallas SWAT and on some reality show where they pitted SWAT team guys, navy seals and army rangers etc. against each other. Not trying to hijack the thread but wondered if they know each other.

We'll take some pics of the bow when I can get him to bring it down.  Hard to get it out of his hands.

Nice lookin deer. Congrats.  

cool , congrats :0)

Nice deer and I already know the bow. I told my wife I wouldn't buy a new bow next year, but I didn't say anything about new limbs. I can get recurve limbs that work on the Orion longbow right Mike?

Damned nice deer!

Very nice bow and deer!

Sweet!

     SUPER!!

Very nice deer. Congrats.

   

   

TMac,

Yep you can get curve limbs for your riser.

Mike
