Title: Ace No. 9
Post by: Curtis Haden on March 07, 2016, 01:34:00 PM
I have owned some really nice bows, and I always have a bit of a "honeymoon" when I get a new one, but something tells me this one's going to keep right on being a favorite!  Brandon did a super job on this bow!  60" and 41@28.  Shedua riser with a Birdseye Maple I-beam, and green glass limbs with a maple core.

Meet #9

I could not wait to get home from the post office and try it out.  I knew right after stringing it up, it was going to be quiet!  Just plucking the string told me that -- no "twang" whatsoever!  I love narrow limbed, 50's style recurves for that very reason.

The first shot told me I had been right about the noise... quiet as a church mouse!  Very stable in the hand for such a light bow, and I was hitting my marks almost immediately.  Smooth shooting and seems very quick!  The grip is nice and the bow didn't seem to care how I held it.  It did start talking trash the minute I put it down, though...

The Rose Oak Ace by Brandon Stahl is a winner!

That's awesome.  Great selection.  Brandon Stahl is in the top elite of bowyers in my book.  A wonderful and humble guy to deal with also.  Enjoy and thanks for sharing!

Very nice looking Ace and that Green is really nice looking on it.
Brandon told me sometime in Feb. that he may start mine this March but I told him "No Hurry"..
