Well my stalker 3-piece Longbow has arrived. As many of you may remember, South Cox, owner of Stalker Bows had a contest shortly before Christmas to name his new line of longbows. He was giving away a custom bow to whomever came up with some new names for his bows.
I ended up being one of the 2 luck winners!
When South contacted me I couldn't believe it. He told me to choose whatever combo of woods I wanted. I almost felt like I was stealing!!! I ended up going with a bocote riser footed with ebony. the limbes are bamboo with a strip of carbon and a carbon inlay on the limbs. I choses bocote on the back of the limbs and South picked the veneers on the belly. Not sure what they are? Look like figured walnut? He also used, I believe , leapardwood for some of the overlays.
The bow is VERY pretty and although not tuned yet, shoots very well also.
It is 58" 47@25"
I have thanked South several times, but I want to say it again publicly!!!!!
Enjoy the pics, Steve

Sure hope I never get an opportunity to shoot one of these. They look to tempting to just try, set it down and just walk away.
Congrats!!!
Makes me sad I'm not wrong handed :D
A beauty of a bow and from what I've read so far, it should perform just as good as it looks.
Beautiful bow you have there! Enjoy!
