I got my new BamaBow from Nathan yesterday and man am I stoked over this bow! I've been really itching to shoot/own an actual longbow for awhile now. So far I've shot Recurves and Hybrids exclusively. Maybe it was all the Hill Bow threads lately. Anyway, this bow is awesome! She is 63" AMO, and draws 53@26. Stained Curly Maple Riser and Limbs, with a Bocote Accent, and Overlays. Nathan realy builds a fine bow. The finish is perfect, the Take-Down system fits like a glove and feels absolutely solid as a rock. The grip feels great and I know I'll be used to it in no time. I haven't had time to tune arrows properly to her, but I put some AD's thru her and she just shoots and feels great. I couldn't be happier with this bow. If you are looking for a fine bow, at a great price, Nathan is the man to call. On top of it all, it was a three week turn-around, which I know will be getting longer as more people get his bows in hand. Here's a link to his site: http://www.bamabows.com/index.html

Sweet looking bow! Congratulations. :thumbsup: :clapper:
Nice welcome to the family, I love my Hunter and also my new Royal! Nice looking bow! Looks alot like my Hunter only darker!
Ripforce56, you and your son's reviews of your Bama's helped me pull the trigger one this bow, so I have you guys to Thank. I plan on an Elite or Royal later in the summer. The color came out just the way I hoped. I can't wait to carry her in the woods.
Very nice....I like it. The woods look great stained.
Congrats
Sweet looking bow, I bet she's a real shooter :archer:
been curious about these bows. hmmmmmmmm
Love the wood combinations.
Nice looking bow.
I have seen alot of different bows in my life, alot of different wood combo's, yours my friend is one of the nicest combo's/lines I have seen...
Enjoy....
Nice........ :thumbsup:
That is a very nice looking bow from BamaBows, love Nats work, and my Hunter model as well.
Great lookin' bow, that riser wood looks great!
Congratulations, Eric.
Really nice bow. I can't wait until my Bama Bow gets here.
When I get it, I'll shoot and arrow your way.
Welcome to the fold my friend!
Matt if you shoot an arrow his way, odds are it is going to go right through him and into the wall.
:thumbsup: Nice!!!
That is a great looking bow!!! Rich, Deep, wood colors. Great choices!!! Congratulations !!!
Awsome looking bow.
that is an awesome combination !! that dark stain curly maple with black glass is sweet!
Cottonwood, I just read your post on Matt's thread, very nice. Your bow looks great, love the wood combo. I wanted a dark bow this time, but I'm a grain freak also and I hoped to get both with the Curly Maple. I'm very pleased with how it came out. As you can see in my pics he used your Logo and it looks awesome, I think it adds a very classy touch to a classy bow.
Thanks for all the nice comments on the bow guys.
Here's my Bama Bow that arrived today.

That's a real beauty Matt. Beautiful woods. Congrats!
great looking bows! maybe ill get my hands on one to try one of these days!
Man he makes some noce lookin bows - love that darker color! Rage there got me wanting a bamabow and now this thread pops up!
DannyBows - That's one of the most beautiful bows I've ever seen posted here! Great character in the riser, yet still simple elegance. Lot's of guys go for all the fancy exotic woods, but in my opinion, none of them compare to curly maple.
That's a beauty - congrats!
You guys aren't very nice!
I keep coming back here to look and... dang it I was set for life with my two Hills and "Vango" Mohawk classic.
I've tried, I mean I've really tried but I had to send Nathan an e-mail and my last e-mail was to tell him that I think we needed to speak person to person.
See what you've done!!
God bless,Mudd
PS: So many bows, so little money... I pray I have the time to make up the difference.
sweet !!!
Very nice bow Danny!Congrats!And the takedown system is a far cry from our spike longbows,im gonna seriously take alook at these bows.

Friend you've got me scratching ?????????
Yep, left off the "S". I think it adds some charm.
Hahaha.. I finally got it but I thought it sounded just fine as I read it.

I didn't see a thing in the world wrong with reading it this way!...lol

God bless, Mudd
jsweka, Curly Maple and Bocote have always been two of my favorite woods, but I can't take credit for how they are used in this bow. Nathan had some pics of some of his bows and this one just grabbed me. I simply asked him for one like it stained a little dark. Everything in the bow just compliments everything else. You said it perfectly, Thanks.
Gil, you're right about the take-down system. It's solid. If my Spike had been built like this, it would still be around.
ok how do these bows shoot i love the shelf!
RN I'll let you know in about a month or less..lol
Ooppss! I let the cat out of the bag...lol
God bless,Mudd
RN,
I just got my new Bama Bow with a dished grip. (Light weight 73# at 28").
I have only had time to shot 5 arrows thru it (work has been a b**ch).
It was almost completely dark. I had just strung it up to 7 inch brace ht. I did not have a noch on the string. I was shooting split finger. Normally, I shoot 3 under.
Anyway, I never really saw the arrows fly, too dark and not enough light from the back porch. But, they all sounded real good.
I walked up to my target and from 20 yds I had an 8" group.
Again, I never set a noch on my string, guessed at the brace ht, shot split finger from 20 yrds. WOW!
This weekend, I will set my noch on the string, go three under and I bet I will have a fantstic grouping.
Stunning
