I love the look of the yew. Very nice looking bow. How about a full length pic. I have never seen a Moab before and would like to see what they look like.

God bless you, Steve

Great looking bow!!

Bought a MOAB from Jim in 2006 at the first Trad/Primative Expo in Wheeling WV. Really a great bow. Klit every deer I pulled the string back on(LOL)! Of course I've only shot at one(@ about 3 steps)One of my favorites!

Oh C'mon now......

You can't cut us off at this point.  Those are just TEASERS!!  We GOTTA have more.

I have wanted a MOAB for a long time.

You simply cannot leave us hanging like this.

I am expecting LOTSA pics by this time tomorrow.  If you don't come through, there should be some kinda punishment meted out here.  Maybe you should have your key to the "Executive Terlette" taken away for a month or so.  
I'd be all for that if there are no more pics.  Or maybe something more severe.

OK Ben, if you had to pick one, MOAB or Mag?  I think I know what you'll say, but I'm having a hard time picking between the two.
