Title: New BamaBow
Post by: gorillabows on July 05, 2012, 12:16:00 PM
Just got in the mail a beautiful bow from Nate at Bamabows.

Honestly the quietest bow that I have ever shot with out silencers on the string. Can't imagine they would help much.

Nate builds a quality bow, and is a quality person to deal with.

This is my 3rd bow from him and had a great experience everytime!

In a world where good customer service is getting more and more scarce, you are sure to find it with Nate.

Here are the specs,

66" Amo 100#@28

Walnut Riser
Walnut Veneers
Osage Core/3 Laminations of Osage
Curly Maple Accent
Phenolic Tips

Grip is just right and it points where you shoot. Straight limb bow.

Here are some pics, wish I had a better camera.

That is beautiful. Every thing you say about Nate is true. I am fortunate to live only a couple of hours from him and go down to visit him yearly. Was just there three weeks ago and got me planning my next build. Could you show us pictures of the walnut veneers. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice.

But 100#?     :scared:  
I'd have to use both hands and feet.


I'm loving mine so far, but I've already worn my fingers out. Thinking of switching to a glove.

Awesome bow gorilla, the Walnut looks really nice.  I have been looking at BamaBows for a while and the Hunter model will probably be my next, last bow ever.

I have a good friend here on tradgang who made my arrows. Never had wood fly good for me until he made some.

They are doug fir and are spined 103-105 with 5 inch feathers.

The shafts came from surewood, and he finished them up. Real Beauties.

Here is a pic of them.
