I ordered a new Fox Breed at Kalamazoo this past March and been on pins and needles since. Well the wait is over, it arrived yesterday. This bow is just perfect. I told Ron that I wanted lots of figure and some knots and something different. Well, I got what I wanted. This bow looks great. On the belly side of the bow, the fade outs are wild looking. Above the riser the bocote grain looks like a grizzly bears head. And on the bottom of the same fade out, it looks like grizzly bear claws. I'm going to take some pics of the bow today and let you see what I'm talking about. I picked up a 2215 out of my pile and the first arrow flew like a dart and hit right where I was looking. I'm very impressed with this new bow. It's going to be going to Colorado for elk this fall. Thanks Ron and Debbie, you guys did a great Job.
Pics on the way. JOHN

Nice lookin' bow! Sweet!
Wow!!! that looks kinda like a wooley booger face.Thats real nice!!!
I shot The Breed at the Trad show in Kzoo also...almost ordered one and will some day have one.
I'd name it the Screamer after the painting titled "The Scream". The figure in the limb looks like the head on the painting.

Very nice looking bow...what are the spec's?
Josh
Nice bow... Fox are some real nice shooters. Ron King is a superb fella.
Love the picture as well!
Mike
Dannon you are a hilarious bugger - that made my day. Wish I had some dodgy mates like yours!#%!
I received my Fox Royal Crown just recently and love that bow to bits. I have had bows that shot as well, but never anything that looked as suptuous and gorgeous as my Fox. This bow is a family heirloom and is going nowhere.
After owning a Toelke Whip in the past I never thought anybody could beat Dan for finish and attention to detail - I think I was wrong.
The wretched thing cost me nearly 200 bucks US for postage to Australia - but it was well worth it.
Congrat's on the new bow!
Sutto
Sutto, that is some expensive shipping. Why so much? Ron sure is a great guy to work with.
Oliverstacy That picture is almost frightening. I'll be afraid to take that bow in the woods when it's dark. LOL!
yes John - the price has been creeeping up over the years. It was mainly because it was a one-piece. I will be ordering all T/D bows from now on. My new Lee that is due in a couple of weeks was only about 55 for postage - a big difference.
I think because of the longer length they cannot be sent with USPS - they have to come via courier (in this case was FedEx) - and they are much more expensive.
It killed me at the time but now I have a truly gorgeous bow! I often just sit in the sunlight and admire the grain in the Yew on the limbs and the Cocobolo riser. Did I also mention that it shoots very well and I am driving tacks with it at the moment.
Sutto
Very nice bow!
That is a good looker John. Sure does look like a bear head on there. Congratulations on a fine bow. Hap
Wow! Outstanding!
Thats nice. The way that Ron blends the over lays into the glass is outsanding.
Great looking bow for sure.
Also great shooting bows. I own a high Sierra TD, which I would not part with.
John, super looking bow. You have a one of a kind there. It is so nice to have bowyers that will go that extra mile to help make our bows "custom".
Dannon: Winner, winner, chicken dinner. That is too funny. :biglaugh:
Little John, You are really going to like that Breed. That's a pretty bow. Enjoy! Frank
Absolutely beautiful. How's she shoot? Is there a website?
Kentucky TJ, The website is http://www.foxarchery.com/
The bow is a dream to shoot. At Kalamazoo, I shot several of the 50's style bows and compared the quality. From the ones I shot, Fox was the smoothest. I think that a couple of them were just as fast. But the ones that were as fast, were jumpy in my hand. I shot a low 60# and a high 40# breed and both of them bows felt the same after the shot. I really like how light the bow is in hand. I can put a quiver on the bow and it's still nice and light to carry all day. Also Ron and Debbie are top notch to deal with.
