The Old K-Mag refinish.

#1 Post by Graps »

Due to the Photobucket mess up, I have desided to make a new thread of my K-Mag refinish.
It was done by John Raferty of The Bow Hospital.
The pictures are from before to the finish.

You will notice the shooting skill, I shot one arrow a little high so I could lean the K-Mag on it for the photo. :roll:
Yep, ment to do that. :roll:
