Thanks for the kind words guys.  In case you didn't notice this ones "in stock" so you can have it for the $50 below the custom order.  Only $700 plus shipping.

We started doing the horn on the SoothSayers because customers started asking for it.  All I can say is WOW.  Gotta talk Blacky into testing one of these babies.  One thing I know from shooting it.  Smooth and very fast.

I'm EXTREMELY glad this bow isn't 3-4# lighter!!  I'm out of places to hide a new bow in the house and my very understanding wife might cease to be so!  :D
That bow is drop dead gorgeous!!

I normally don't care a thing for non-fiberglass bows...other than to look at...but this one not only looks gorgeous, I'll bet it leaves vapor trails! Beautiful bow Mike, wish I wasn't so hunting trip poor   :knothead:

pretty bow Mike. Hey, i'm finally getting started on that second glue-up i got from you and had a question--will it screw anything up if i want to leave the rind on the bamboo back ? this one's pretty dark and i think it'd be good natural camo, just wondering if it'll take the finish and be moisture resistant enough

Title: Re: Can you say. .HORN SOOTHSAYER. . .Dryad Bows
Post by: joel smith on January 25, 2008, 10:44:00 AM

oops, forgot something as usual--what finish would you recommend if i keep the rind ?

Joel,

Actually we have changed to leaving it also.  We just sand it lightly to remove the shine and apply the finish.  Works great and keeps the natural camo beauty of the bamboo.

Wow.   There are so many beautiful bows on here and yet another comes along that blows me away.  Very cool.

Mike how short NTN do you recommend when making these at say ~60# and 28"?

Title: Re: Can you say. .HORN SOOTHSAYER. . .Dryad Bows
Post by: wingnut on January 25, 2008, 04:30:00 PM

Dave,

We offer two different designs in the horn bellied bows.  The SoothSayer above is a full length longbow and is offered in 62, 64, and 66".  The BushWacker is a short R/D longbow offered in 58 and 60".

For a 28" draw you could have a 64" SS or a 58" BW.

Mike

Now Killy, it's only money and an all natural bow would be just the thing to round out your collection.

BTW  I think the proper term is &*%&$$@## not
*$@^%$&%!!!!

*$@^%$&%!!!!  is only used when missing a buck of a lifetime.
