Title: My Stalker being built!!
Post by: String Cutter on October 22, 2011, 09:37:00 AM
Got some pics of my bow being built by South Cox of Stalker Recurves. I am so excited I just had to share it with somebody.
But first I would like to say of the 8 custome bows I have had built for me South has been the most pleasant bowyer I have ever worked with... If you want a truly great experience when ordering a bow I would highly recommend South. And I haven't even gotten the bow yet. His customer service I think ranks right up there with Black Widow. I am really looking forward to ordering from him again ...  :)

And finally the final special touch he is going to artfully put on it to make it a very special one of a kind bow for me.  (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v731/stringcutter/IMAG0124.jpg)

If you feel just a little excited and little out of control, then there should be a very good reason.


'THIS IS THE TIME!"

South's customer service is top notch. The Tracker longbow I won last Spring in the nicest shooting longbow I have ever shot.
