Not a HOyt, it is a new riser from A&H, name is Apogee, no joke.

Nice. Lets see that thing bolted up and braced.

A full draw pic would be nice to.  :thumbsup:

I will post that picture, but I need to wait a day or two, want to be sure the overspray is 100% dry before I tighten the bolts.

The limbs were just sprayed friday evening and need to cure another day before they are bolted on.

That is indeed an A&H Apogee riser, I have dipped two of them now. The first was a prototype dipped in Predator Brown.

A&H has one left hand on available. Go to their home page, the riser is on the right side of home page, about 1/2 down the page, click on the picture.

Yep that's quite a bow.  John was hunting with a prototype back in '04 with us in Alaska.  I enjoyed shooting it a lot.  Very stable and quiet in the hand.  Also has a great COOL factor.

Nice job on the Carbon dip.

Pretty space-age, but I bet it's fun! It'll not only shoot deer, but Martians too!

These metal riser bows are not for everyone.
They are not very traditional looking and some do not like that.
If you get a chance you might try to shoot one just for the experience. They  are nice.

That Apogee in Predator Deception is really cool!   :)

Really nice. How does it shoot?
Title: Re: Check out this new bow!
Post by: Cherokee Scout on January 25, 2010, 08:37:00 AM
It shoots very well. It is smooth and faster than most others I have had. This one is 62" and 41#.

That is definatly the best of the bunch when it comes to shooting.  :thumbsup:

Rod should like that riser, I dipped it for him!
Personally I like the prototype riser Rod has better than the new ones.

Post by: SHOOTO8S on January 25, 2010, 04:45:00 PM
Yeah Lonnie did a great job on my Apogee!

I'm thinking the carbon weave would be the ticket for one of my old Conquest risers!

That carbon fiber dip looks good even with a dull clear coat but gloss really lets you see the detail.

This was a neglected, rusty muzzle loader with a matte finish dip.

And this is the gloss finish on the same pattern.

Rod, this bow looks even better than the pictures show. What he did on the limbs is super.
