I ordered this bow first of the year and sent South a set of copperhead skins a good friend of mine gave me to back the limbs with. Im not a good story tell like most of you are, so ill let the pictures do the talking,I think they will tell it well ! Its a Stalker coyote FXT with static limbs. Its a 58" bow and pulls 53@28.

Ive not got to handle the bow yet because its somewhere between here and California, but boy o boy is it a awesome looking bow ! As soon as it gets here I will start another topic with a review.Enjoy !
That is one pretty bow! Is that some sort of figured walnut on the riser?
WOW, now that is a looker!
Yes ! Its figured Claro Walnut. The center peace is a nice figured myrtle. I should also mention this is the first Stalker recurve South has ever backed the limbs with snake skin !
Beauty for sure. love that riser, and the skins ain't so bad either. Congrats on a very nice bow.
Im not a huge fan of snake skins, BUT that bow looks GREAT with them! nice looking bow.

Nice.
Nathan, I'll get you some more pics on Monday. Those were taken with my phone, my computer was being held hostage at the repair shop. I'll get some "good" ones uploaded and emailed to you--ought to make the wait a little more painful :p
Oh the pain!!! Congratulations on the fine looking bow! I can't wait to see the other photos.
After seeing Ryan's build along and talking with Steadman, then giving South several calls, and taking a test drive. I decided to "pluck the string" as well. I'm lucky enough to be on the "waiting list". Nathan your photos make the waiting easier!

Sweet ! It can't get much more painful ! Lol, luckily my "antidote" will be here this week ! :bigsmyl:
Beautiful bow! Congratulations.
Hey mate, already said so on Facebook but what a beauty. Glad you went with the walnut, looks amazing with those skins.
Thanks Scott ! How you liking that beautiful Stalker South built you ?

I really like snake skins, but if the backs of the limbs look like the belly, I'm not sure I could have covered it with anything. Beautiful woods.
VERY GOOD LOOKING >>>>>

South used just plain maple on the back for the skins to cover, nothing fancy !
Love that walnut ...It really has some nice hues in it... :thumbsup:
Looks real good Nathan!! Bet it shoots as good as it looks :)
Gorgeous bow
Glad to hear it's on it's way home Nathan! Congrats, that is a fine bow.
Loving it - just set it up with some 640 grain arrows. It absolutely blasts them out. Although I'm thinking pretty seriously about some skins now...
Shes due to arrive today or tomorrow ! :goldtooth:
Well?
Wait your probably still out shooting.
It showed up today and it as beautiful in hand as it is in pictures ! Its pouring rain here but I did sneak out and shot 6 arrows thru it. And I can't tell you this, its by far the quietest recurve I've shot ! Stay tuned for more details, hope to put several arrows thru it tomorrow evening.
Sounds good Nathan, glad you like it! I really want to get one of Souths static tips to try out, I love a quiet bow!
I must have missed the new thread with the review and more pictures. Can someone point me in the right direction please. This is a gorgeous bow!
