Brisky Bows selfbows
Don Fabrao

Curt, I killed this fat doe with the (the Master Chief) Bamboo Backed Osage, 68" 60#@31", cedar shaft tipped with a 125 gr Wensel Woodsman. It was a quarted away shot at 20 yards and took her only 40 yards to expire.

Thanks for a great product. I’ll have to make my own some day.

Thanks again, Don Fabrao

Curt, the day after I sent the photo to you of the buck I shot earlier this year, I shot another. The picture is attached – the Brisky bow strikes again!

Attached is a photo of a small buck I got this year with the bow I got from you a few years ago. This is the bow I took moose hunting in Alberta this year. I sure get a lot of positive comments on it! A very Merry Christmas to you and your family. – Don

{This is a bow that was bought from me a couple of years ago. Don used his Brisky bow to harvest this whitetail buck this year - Curt}

I met Dennis at a Archery shoot in 2008 only to find out I was beginning a relationship with a living legend. In 2008 Dennis bought from me an Osage longbow with a beautiful diamondback rattlesnake skin. In 2015 Dennis takes this big BC lion with a Brisky Bow! Way to go Dennis! At age 75 he keeps his passion alive continuing to do what he loves. He lives our dreams.

Thanks again Curt, this have been a exciting thing to do. I know I am in a upper class of hunters, taking a deer with a longbow.It is very gratifying to build something with your own hands and then harvest an animal!

Thanks again for your friendship and all your help, WOW, I can’t believe I got one!!!!
