Title: New Kingfisher
Post by: Alexander Traditional on March 10, 2017, 06:58:00 PM
I've been wanting to try this bow ever since I saw it. It's a forward handle,and it's 64". It's very smooth,and it points very well. The specs are 55@28. The veneers are mango,but I didn't get any pictures because it started to rain on me. I will get some up later. I think it's going to be my favorite bow. Chad was very nice to deal with,and it was done in three weeks.

Here's some better close ups of the riser.

I love the strung profile of this bow. I wish these pictures would have turned out better,it was sort of overcast,and rainy.

Awesome.  Chad's bows hold their own against anyone else's.  A real value and can't beat the short wait vs some of the year+ ones out there.

That group is at 23 yards. It's pretty good for me,and I'm not the best at shooting at a square with no dots on it,but i've been practicing.

Nice looking stick. And I would bet that 95% of the guys on this site would be more than happy with that shooting.

Chechen riser with a Mac. Ebony stripe makes for an attractive riser.  Chechen has become my favorite riser wood.  I've found nothing better.  Hard as a rock, straight grained, non oily, attractive and reasonably priced.  
Thanks Rick for the business, you were a pleasure to work with.  Chad

Great bows and a great person to deal with. I think Chad's popularity will only grow. He makes a really nice bow.
