This is a back-up for the bow I got about 18 months ago. The new one is 50@28 and 62" it shoots super smooth and very quiet.
Mr. Piggy watch your step!!

Nice looking rig for sure. I like the limb butt and tip caps too.

I see they have changed the tips a little bit and the carbon looks more black than the original gray color.

What's the wait time like from A&H at the moment?
I'm seriously considering getting on the list.

The tips on my original bow look like yours Dave. Legend has it that those were tillered by OL-but I haven't really dug into that. The wait time seems to depend on your specs and what they can put together. They have succeeded in shrinking the wait down to about what it would be for most bows these days; 7-12 months would be my guess..

Very nice. I have one with a kingwood riser. It is a 60# bow. I am having another set of limbs made that will be 50# for target archery. Larry said they are making the limbs a little wider than before.

Here she is ready to work

The riser is Cocobolo as are the caps and tip overlays. That is the neck knife that Jeremy made, and a quiver of Sweetlands Forgewoods I fletched up for the occasion.
The shafting once belonged to Vernon Godsey, who was a National Flight Archery Champion in the 60's. No wonder-they shoot pretty good even with me at the helm! LOL
