Title: New Pronghorn is here!
Post by: on June 02, 2011, 10:51:00 AM
After a 4-month wait my new bow has arrived--specs are 44#@28, 58"AMO (short laminate riser), amberboo cores, and dyed matched curly maple veneers on the back. Herb was originally hesitant to use a gray dye on the curly veneers--he thought the grain wouldn't "pop", but I think he did just fine--in person the veneers look just like granite. The contrasting brown belly of the bow is, I think, pretty sharp and Herb says it's totally unique among Pronghorns--judge for yourself-- I am a happy camper!

Very cool looking for sure, stained maple looks awesome. Hows the grip on these 3pc bows?

I like the brown & gray.  I have a brown stained riser & just got an extra set of limbs that are brown glass & it doesn't look as good as yours.

Nice!

To answer about the grip--I would describe it as a mild locator grip, and on the short riser the grip is a bit shorter as well, like 1/2-3/4". Fortunately, my hands are not too large and it suits me.

Sharp. I like the grey with red in the riser. And the two tone limbs. Well done

Susan, did Herb mention what kind of dye he used? I have a bow in the planning stages that I want grey stained/dyed limbs on and my bowyer was looking for a good dye to use.

Herb knows how to build 'em.
That is a great looking bow and I'm sure it shoots as good as it looks.
Congrats.

Thanks for the great feedback-- I don't know if Herb cruises around Tradgang, but I'm sure he would be pleased to hear it as well. He said he's "never make another one like it". I am left to wonder why........PS just got back from some stumpshooting and it shoots great!
