I had a bow for trade in the classified section and got a message from one of our very well known selfbow builders. He says, “ If you dont get any offers on your bow maybe we can work something out”. I instantly wanted one of his bows. He sent me a couple pictures, we text back and forth, and made the trade today. This bow is amazing. 69” Yew, dead quiet and zero hand shock. I cant believe how smooth this thing is. Here are a few pics.

Now that is a bow, right poundage and everything.

Now you know why the guys love selfbows.

Anthony, I just have to look again, what a beautiful job he did, I don't care what you traded for that bow, but you got the best of the deal.

Ron, I agree with you completely. I got the better deal. I’ve been texting Chris all afternnon telling him how great the bow is. These are my last four arrows of the evening. I did a quick walk up, 24 20 16 14. What a good shooting bow.

Its tanned stingray, Craig. Great shooting Tony. Arrows look like they all impacted identically.

Once you shoot a well made selfbow you'll understand why some guys like them so much. That is one beautiful bow. I'd definitely put Chris in the "well made" class. He is a very talented bowyer always willing to help people out. Enjoy your new bow....selfbows are so much fun to shoot.

Chris has been helping me with my attempt at selfbows and I don't think I will ever be able to make one like that, I am envious and happy that you have got a great example of the finest, great shooting.

Mu wife has one of Chris' self bows. She loves it and won't shoot anything else.

From: RonG

I would love one of his yew bows, but I'm afraid after shooting one I would never make another one. At my age that may not be a bad thing..LOL! I never liked snakeskin bows, but that just looks right on that one.

From: TrapperKayak

Exceptional looking bow that I wouldn't doubt shoots just as well as you said. Nice work Mr. C!

That really is a beautiful bow. I am glad it shoots well for you. Enjoy it in good health. Jawge

From: Osage Outlaw

Awesome bow! Those black rat snake skins look great on it. The stingray grip tops it off nicely. Pearl is an amazing bowyer. I am lucky enough to call him a close friend and own several of his bows. I took one to the woods this season and killed a deer with it.

From: Bjrogg
Date: 26-Nov-18




Pearl is one of the finest people I've had the pleasure of meeting and I believe I've meet a lot of fine people. I think it's so cool that you took one of his bows to the woods and used it for it's intended purpose Clint. I'm really hoping to do the same some day. Really hoping T4 does with this one. Enjoy that bow sir. It's made for shooting.
