I ordered this at the end of June and it's finally here. I got some birthday money and some money from a friend via a bet so I ordered this one...that is where the "Friends and Family 2008" comes from.
Kota Kill-um #55@28", Cocobolo with Ebony flare and Curly/Spalted Myrtle veneers over boo cores and Pronghorn Antelope tips.
My daughter with said bow:

That's one beautiful bow. And I have to say that nine months isn't all that long for a work of art that shoots well. Congrats. :thumbsup:

QuoteOriginally posted by Curveman:He only makes them in 60"...but they are very smooth. I can tell this one is 9 lbs heavier though. I shot a 50 lb longbow all summer so I felt it was time to go up in weight.
Beautiful! What length Did you get?
Just as an FYI...he had I believe two that looked just like this come out to heavy so if you're looking for something like this at #60 or more he has one if not two.

Josh,
Would you mind posting a picture of your wife? If your kids look that good and get their looks from their mother, she must be a beauty queen! The bows look good too, but your kids put them to shame. :thumbsup:

Hey Josh-
That new one would look real nice next to my Kota! Want to sell her? Just kidding. Trying to get a bow from a man that just waited 8 months.
Congats! It is a beautiful bow. I'm sure she will be well worth the wait. I just spent the afternoon shooting my Prairie fire. Kota bows are a true joy to shoot.
Great looking family! Now that you have 2 does your wife get one? It would only be fair.

Thanks again all...wife is in pic above, as you can see she has the looks. :saywhat:
Looking forward to shooting it...weather has been crappy and I've been busy. I'm shooting it tomorrow regardless of the weather.
Katie...if she shot bow I'd let her try one. :knothead:
