Herb is one of the best guys in all of archery.  You will like the bow and dealing with Herb.

I ordered my new one, Zircote Riser with Bamboo limb core and Zebrawood veneer in early January.  Do the math.   :bigsmyl:  


    You will be very happy with your Pronghorn. Herb is one of the best!

Good on you Fred.

If you're going to spend any money, you may as well order what you want and get the length, weight and woods you want.

4 months will breeze right on by before you know it.

I could never wait for one to be built.
I wish I could settle on one and put in for it like I want it done. Never happen!!!

TJ is right I can see some new appliance or coach purses and matching shoes if she is like that.

Fred,

Just think of it this way.......come August you'll be tuning a new bow for hunting season.  Four months is not a bad wait considering how long some of the rest of us have been waiting (and are still waiting) for a new bow.

Something about patience and new bow waiting lists that don't go hand in hand.

Anyhow, congrats on ordering a new one!

Tony
