The Life & Times of Yarra

BowHuntingFool · 02-12-2009, 12:37 PM

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...

This might have been adressed already, but where is everyone suppose to sign her?

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

Hmmmmmmmm wonder if you will have the same kind words after you have shot her

Looks like she has arrived safe and sound! Now the FUN begins! I'll be back...

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.

Alright. The fun has begun.

Hey Russ when/if I ever get it my hand writing isn't so good would it be ok if I just carve my name into it?

I could just just a woodburning tool to make my mark...that would work wouldn't it?
