Post by: Todweelz on April 18, 2010, 10:34:00 AM
Have to show this bow off, Gregg did an awesome job, bow is beautiul, more than I expected. Specs are; 52#@27, 56", riser is bacote w/ebony and bacote overlays, limbs are action boo w/ strip of black uni-heft in the middle,  skinned w/ diamondbacks and burl olive ash on the belly. Bow shoots great, no shock, no stack, just very smooth. Bow is very fast have'nt put through a  chrono, shoots FLAT to 25yds., with 550gr. carbon, hope pics go through, Todd

Randy and Mike , thank you for help w/ pics, that bow is my first longbow, I have been shooting recurves for about 14yrs, took a little getting used to [firmer grip, deeper hook], but I'm shootingt it very well now, could'nt be happier with it, Thanks to Gregg as well, bow far exceeds what I thought I wanted, leaving for S.D weds, to break it in on some turkeys.

* pics don't do the woods justice

Do you have a photo of it showing it fully strung from tip to tip? I'd like to see the full shape of the bow when it's strung. Photos of fully strung bows is what attracts me to different models of bows.

Bocote and ebony is a pretty combination always.  Good luck with the turkeys (and good luck to your daughter too)!  :thumbsup:
