Sorry about the lighting. This bow is a reflex deflex longbow with a D shape when strung. Please believe me when I say these pictures don't do it justice and I need to get some of it in the natural light. Bloodwood riser with bamboo lams and laminated bamboo cores. I requested moose tips because I personally think a moose would be the holy grail for me. I'll be taking this bow for mountain caribou so I thought the name peak-a-bou would be a fitting name.

Really like it especially those tips. Reminds of my bud's (Apex Predator) always perfect tips! How about some specs & a shoot report?

Straitera the bow is 62 amo, 53# @29. I draw 29.5 but who cares about .5 of an inch anyways. The limbs are bamboo with what the bowyer calls a honey brown finish. The tips are without question my favorite part.

No how does it shoot?
Well I can't shoot it until tomorrow. The bowyer left for south Dakota and didn't want me to have to wait 2 weeks, so he gave me the bow if I promised that I would wait for Sunday to shoot it because he had just finished the finish and wanted me to wait a few days. When strung the bow has a really nice d shape to it.

To quote to bowyer who shot it a bit before he put the finish on," this bow shoots like a house on fire". Given that I consider him a friend I'm going to trust him on that one.

I'm really excite to hunt with it and start developing an arrow for it. Likely a 600gr goldtip, but that's just a ball park.

A little stumping in the yard. First videos so I hope they work.

People say I look like I'm humping a football and I guess this is what they're referring too.
