Got this today, courtesy of a trade with Ralph Harris. All I can say is, "OW!" ...er, "WOW!"
...We spent about 5 hours out in the yard getting to know each other -- real well! Add to this, the fact that she's about 3-4 pounds heavier than what I'm used to, and you begin to understand why my shoulders demand the afore-mentioned "OW!"
Anyway, the specs are: 62" 57@29, all walnut stained with checkered grip and antler tip overlays. If you have not tried one of these bows, you owe it to yourself to beg, borrow, or buy one!

I think I'm going to name her "Patience" -- because I'm going to have to learn to govern my urge to keep shooting, or only shoot about every third day... I like me some big ole bows!
:readit: :saywhat:
Congratulations, they really are fantastic bows. One of the few I regret parting with.
I have 2 of them and love them, you will also!

I won't say how many I have but welcome to the club!
Congrats!!!!!
Welcome to the family. :thumbsup:
Top buy; have fun!
Love mine as well, enjoy. Mine's 58" I can't imagine how smooth and stable the 62"er is.
I bought one used with two sets of limbs, I could shoot the light 44 pound limbs all day. Get a lighter set of limbs and you won't be sorry.
Yesterday was all about shooting a Silvertip. Managed to work the soreness out enough to do some tuning today. This was shot from 23 yards. The fletched shafts are in about a 1 3/4" inch group, and the bare shaft only a few inches right. 29" CX 150 with 175 grains up front. I think we're getting close!!!

Think I'll stick with the 57@29 limbs. I really like the trajectory on those arrows!!! It is still feeling a little heavier than what I'm used to, but I think I can work into it real quick. Didn't feel half bad shooting today.
