I'm up for a new Javaman...probably gonna go with an Elkheart..I'd like to see some new pics of some Javaman bows..
I'm really thinking Black and White Ebony veneers with a Phenolic riser.
Thanks, Jr.

Just keep your hands off the B&W Ebony veneers and B&W Ebony riser material that's sitting there with Gregg waiting for him to build my 2 piece Elkheart ! :bigsmyl:
I just missed out buying your old one Guss! Kicking myself over and over. Now you gotta bring up a new one.
I need to get on Greggs list.
My oldest son just got one from Gregg. Talk about a sweet bow. His has Maple burl veneers and a lead wood riser. I am very impressed how light and quick and quiet it is. It's a pure joy to shoot.
have you viewed the pics on his facebook site? some absolutely incredible bows, check em out...
I shot Greggs bows up in Kalamazoo...was VERY impressed with how they performed and felt. I had him add me to the wait list that day. The Elkhearts are very nice but I was drawn to the Assyrian and Helms Deep. They just shot better for me.
Enjoy the new bow and post pics when it arrives!
I shot a Helms Deep he has, It was only 50" long. It was unbelievably smooth and quiet. I really didn't notice any stacking. It was almost like a toy but far from it. I really liked it.
I should be getting mine next week
I have several "pretty" bows with high contrast veneers and riser wood. What I was looking for in my Elk Heart was something that would pretty well disappear in the woods, without giving up beauty. I described it as well as I could to Gregg and his product matched my vision perfectly. My bow is in the previous "Elk Heart" link above, along with some really spectacular bows. Talk to Gregg and describe what you are looking for and I will bet he can please you.
A lot of the bowyers on this site are artists and craftsmen in equal measure and if you can tell them what you're looking for, they have the eye to make it happen. I own a beautiful Blacktail, an RER and a Chad Francis Judge. I've owned several Chad Holm bows that were works of art. Each of them is different, but each of them is exactly the way I want it and in only two of my bows did I specify the exact woods.

sent you an email.

Beautiful Elkheart!
I am on Gregg's list for later in the year.
I did however, reclaim my original Elkheart. She is coming home!
Gregg's bow are works of art, as well as,, shooters.
Thanks for posting my pictures Guss. I think BW Ebony would be an awesome choice.
Gregg is a master at his craft! Black and white ebony...... Fantastic choice that stuff looks great :thumbsup: you won't be disappointed.
Thanks for the emails and pics I've received....!

Nice ! :thumbsup:
Very nice!
Great looking stick!!
Absolutely stunning bow! I'm jealous.
Tom
Guss that is an awesome looking bow hope you enjoy it.
Very nice!
Sweet
That is one of the nicest Elkheart's I have seen. I own a beauty but that is great looking!!
I love it Guss! Give me a CALL when your tired of it- I call dibbs;-) So what are the specs? 48# @28? What did you go with for core... wood or Carbon?
Very nice bow, gonna be a long wait for mine. Congrats.
WOW!!! :scared:
Sharp!
I'm on "the list" for a JavaMan bow (probably an Elkheart) in the next few months... beautiful bows & combos to consider - these threads get me fired up.
Can't wait for decision time!
Randy
Sweet bow congrats, Gregg is the man.
You got a beautiful bow there.
I'm still as happy with my Elk Heart as I was the day I picked it up.
One thing I especially like about Gregg's bows is that he uses actual AMO specs and also indicates the ASL. Sure makes life easier.
When I picked up my Elk Heart, I asked Gregg if he would build me a L-o-n-g longbow. I was looking for a 68", "D" shaped longbow. He told me to go see someone who specializes in them. He likes building what he does best. I like it when a man enjoys building a certain thing and sticks with it. You generally get a better product that way.
:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Hey Don, I got your name at the top of the list..... :goldtooth:
Specs are 56" 50@28"...no carbon.
Great looking bow, Jr! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
That is as good as it gets, I have an Assyrian and Javaman bows are very hard to beat.
Damn!!!! :notworthy:
