I have an original L/H Jim Brackenbury Shadow, one of the last ones made before he died. It is 61#@27" and I have been drawing it to 28.5" for 65# with no issue. It will come with 1/2doz. gold tip trads with 100gr brass inserts, aluminum footings, nock collars, 1/2doz 100gr adaptors, 1doz. 145gr ribteks- new and unsharpened, spare string, silencers and limb buffers on both strings and a brand new hard case with molded foam. Bow is in great condition and shoots awesome. Arrow weight is right at 700 grains. I bought it for my upcoming Africa trip but just had to replace our only vehicle after several costly repairs. Down payment and new reg. is coming directly out of trip saving which may force me to not bring any trophies home if I don't do something. So decision was made to sell this. I will have the use of the outfitters rifle and even though I would love to get an animal with my bow, I'd rather be able to bring what I get back. Hoping someone can help.

Paid well over $800 for all, need to get $600
 
It is a beautiful bow Albert.
 
Yes it is Charlie, thanks. Shoots great, and basically irreplaceable now- made by one of the old great bowyers. I was very excited to use it in Africa, but I would rather be able to bring stuff back, so I'm hoping to pass it on to someone else who will appreciate it. Damn vehicles always getting in the way of saving money and having fun! Going to have to tighten the purse strings till I get back now and hope this sells. Either way I will still be going- it's just a matter of if it's just pics or trophys for home too
 
It's a beauty for sure!

Hey my friend, I am returning to SA for a Cape Buffalo hunt in June 26. My outfitter has suggested Highveld but I have read some poor reports. Wondering how satisfied you were with your mounts from them? Thanks in advance.
Finally back to somewhat normal I missed reading the messages and posts
Remember I will be at the ISE show in Denver Colorado for 8-12 January, and after the show I will be available for meetings anywhere in the USA I will traveling around to meet with old and new clients, let me know and we will set up a meeting!

Hi PaulB,
I have a Ballard Arms Model 1885 chambered for .333 Jeffery Flanged. Do you have any idea where I can get ammo for this?

I am new to this forum so I am sorry if I am doing something wrong!
Thank You!
