Title: Apex Predator Bows website!
Post by: Apex Predator on September 20, 2009, 06:41:00 AM
I've had lots of inquiries about a website lately, so decided it was about time.  I want to thank everyone for their support through the last few years.  Check it out, and let me know what you think.

Thanks again, Marty

That's a nice website, Marty. Easy to navigate and ya gotta love pitures!  
Let me tell you, the way your tip overlays and riser overlays blend into the limbs make your bows stand above the crowd and elevates them into the elite class. Excellent finish also. At those prices and your craftsmanship, your bows are probably one of the best values in traditional archery today.  Keep up the great work!  Mike

I appreciate all the kind words folks!  I agonized over it for months.  I finally purchased the .com name in June.  It took me until August to spring for the hosting and other goodies.  I spent way more than I should have on stuff I didn't need.  I ended up returning the shopping cart, and the other stuff that went with it.  I figure it will work best anyway if I have more contact with the customer.  I built this thing from a free template.  I'm not the smartest computer guy, but bungled through it.  Luckily, my wife is a phenomenal writer, and my personal editor.

Nice looking website?  I really like the shape of the Cumberland.

How big of a piece of wood do you need for the riser section on that bow?

It was only a matter of time and it is good to see you getting after it, as you should.  I remember when you first broached the topic with fellow Tradgangers about starting up this business and it shows your dedication to make it work.  
BTW, I have a couple of questions:
1. What style is your go to bow? and,
2. Does the Ossabaw have the extra strength at the fades to, like your prototype, to enhance the energy at the limbtips?  That is such an impressive profile.
Title: Re: Apex Predator Bows website!
Post by: Apex Predator on September 20, 2009, 08:11:00 PM
Oliver Stacy,

The Cumberland has a 16" riser.  I like to start with a riser block of 1-5/8" X 1-5/8" X 16-1/2" for that model.

Christopher,

I'm using a 17" riser and power lams running up the belly ramps in the Ossabaw.  She has a beautiful bend to the limbs! Here is a shot of a 64" model.

Steve,  

I retired as a Senior Chief Fire Controlman.  I worked on the Phalanx Close in Weapon System most of my career.  In the later years I was busy running various divisions within the Weapons dept.  My last couple I spent most of my time as the Anti-terrorism/Force Protection Training Supervisor aboard USS Carney, where I retired.

I love the string follow bows. Getting hard to get these days with everyone thinking that last bit of speed that can be pumped out of a bow is the most important thing there is. Alas the world is ready to give up the wonderful control, the forgiving nature of the string follow for 3 or 4 fps.  petty  :)

Congratulations on having the good sense to stick with a first rate tried and true hunting bow.

So,

looking for opinions in a hunting bow - for ground and tree stand both, which is better over all relative to hunting deer at 22-17 yards ranges considering these aspects, heavy arrow, silence, accuracy ( forgiving bow ). 64 to 66 inch bow, 45pounds at 28 inches.

Ossabaw,or Sapelo?

Bob.

I have to just pipe in and say that 64" Osage is the bow Marty built for me and it will be one that will always stay. It shoots swift, straight and quiet folks! I hope to some day have a pic of me and "Wood Runner" on Marty's trophy page.

Congrats on a fine site Marty. All the best to you and your future!   :thumbsup:
