Man those are some purty bows...I saw a couple of them at the bow shoot yesterday...it was hard to keep from drooling on 'em...definitely a bow to put on my wish list(at the top)...

OK, OK,  Walnut Dymondwood Riser, Shedua Limb veneers, Checkered Grip, Sheep Horn tips, Custom Antler Limb knobs.  However, I did not get the FF option. I  may have an inlay put in but have to send the pics to Dave first and let him see the detail.

Get the FF with the Dymondwood riser ya can and to me I notice the difference, both in performance and just the way they shoot. Shawn

This will be my first custom made bow and only the second bow for me to own.....I talked with Dave on the FF option, He says it is a little more stiffer with it. Due to shoulder surgery and being left with half my cartiladge in my bow arm. I opted out of FF. I have time to change my mind however. I forgot to mention, The bow is 60", 50lb @ 27".

Funny that is why I said FF, I have had both my shoulders done and non-FF bows bither them more for some reason. Great bows, you will love it! Shawn

I have about 9 months left on my order. Hey Dave, You will have to tell us how you like the real bark under the glass on that bow. FF or NonFF it is your bow and I don't have a preferance either way!!!

If it were mine I'd get the FF option that way you can shoot any type of string.

I have the ST 58" 57# @ 27" shedua riser and shedua limbs. Thats 2" shorter than my Bighorn and I think I would check out a 56" for the next one.
 I didn't want the FF either it came with the checkering and I sent it back and had it removed.
 Dave and Beth are great to work with and their bows are super

Cool, it doesn't get any better to me, mine is 64 inch tip 55@27. It is a killer. Gonna get an extra set of limbs ordered about mid winter so I am sure they will not ask for my bow until after hunting season and before turkey season! LOL.

Might think about the extra limbs, ya get a discount if ya buy them with the bow order. Wish I would have.

time for you know takes on a whole new meaning.

Changed my order to the FF option. Changed the riser from Walnut to charcoal. Sticking with the shedua limbs. Beth sent a photo of one and it was striking indeed! Tips will be rough sheephorn. I will most likly have a scrimshawed inlay put in of a crest/sheild  from my roots in Sweden my grandmother gave me with a red stag in it. I sent a photo to them and they said Paul's nephew would do the work. I can hardly wait!

Sounds even better, Toklat1! You'll have to go to NZ or Australia or Argentina to take a red with it...
