Mike, here is my new Orion.

What happened to the riser? Awesome looking bow! I thought that was a stray dog 3-d target for a second! LOL
Tom,
Did the riser get scratched in the sight window? Or is that glare?
Is that a pet goat or a target?
Mike
Is that riser Shedua?
It's East Indian rosewood and a very dark and pretty piece. I'm just sick about what I see as a scratch. Hopefully Tom will come back on soon.
If it is a scratch, we'll make it right ASAP.
Mike
what are the limb veneers?
very pretty....
:thumbsup:
Bocote veneers over bamboo cores.
Mike
Mike I assume the limb bolts will work with the G.N.qd system.Kip
Yep no problem with bolt on quivers.
Mike
Mike, I don't really know what happened with the riser but you don't need to do anything about it.
I suspect it happened during post or something, or I did it.

Mike, it's a 3d target that was originally brown all over so I painted it to look like the goats we have around here... haha.
Up for Mike to see.
It's a cool target!! Looks like the pigmy goats my neighbor has in his pasture.
Mike
I think I know the answer, but how does she shoot?
Scott, It shoots very accurately and its grip and draw feel good.
It actually has a bit more hand shock than I'm used to, but I think I just need to play with the brace-height a bit more. It's such a light bow (that's a good thing in my mind).
It all but disappeared with the bow quiver, and when I get my strings on there and start the tuning process it'll disappear.
But, it's a bloody beautiful bow and I'm selling my Bob Lee...

Very cool.
The same guy is coming out with a big billie soon.
This is what he calls a good meat goat.

By the way Mike, what braceheight is working for you usually?
Tom...my Orion works well for me at 7 1/2 inches but I think everyone is different...mine is the marblewood that Mike posted earlier...it shoots great!!
Manyletters, what length is your bow? Mine is 60"
Tom...mine is 42# @ 62...shoots like a dream...should be called Dreamweaver...mebbee that is too girly but it certainly shoots nice
I see. I thought they only came in 60" max.
Maybe my brace is too high. It's about 8 3/4" at the momen.
Tom,
Start at 7 1/2 and work up. I have mine at 7 3/4 and Jason is shooting his at 8".
Mike
Thanks Mike, I'll see how she goes.
I love mine, it has become my favorite longbow!, the best thing I like about mine is the grip, my dad(who has not even touched a bow in a couple months), shot it today and hit dead center at 20 yards with it on the second shot!
Yes the grip is amazing. So comfy and everything is in the right place.
Mike..Methinks I need recurve limbs for mine too!! I ll talk to ya on Monday :wavey:
Is that a pet goat or a target

It would be very cheap for you at the moment with our dollar being so crap.
tradbits.com.au email Mark there and he'll sort you out.
Looks great, Tom! Happy days with it to you!
