Looks like a twin to my Quest sans the deflex!  Bill builds a drop dead gorgeous and great shooting bow that is sure to make you grin  :) .  Congratulations on a dandy!

Great looking bow. The most difficult thing about a Brackenbury is the long wait to get one. Love the looks of a Brack.

Last year I bought a Quest from Jwilliam (Bill)that must be the real twin of Claudia's -- a cocobolo/leopardwood flair non-deflexed riser with leopardwood veneers over actionboo core limbs, 60" 51.5#@28". Do you miss it Bill? I have 6 Quests, 3 with the deflexed risers and 3 that are the straighter ones. They are all wonderful, beautiful bows that I won't be selling or trading. I really like the looks of the cocobolo and leopardwood together. I think it is one of Bill Howland's most popular combinations, and with good reason. I currently have a Non-Typical ordered from Bill Howland, but with his arm injury it will probably still be a long time before he will be able to finish building it.

Amazing shooting for sure!
You were able to switch bows, from Longhorn to Quest with the same deadly accuracy, an blow nocks of your arras!  :thumbsup:
