Been thinking about this model for some time now. I had an "Expedition" that was a bit heavy for me so it's gone. I'm leaning towards string-follow. Pics and opinions greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Quite the bow. :-)
I've got some nice pics of my Expedition if that'll do?
More interested in Hawk photos, but if you put some Expedition shot up here I will definitely drool over them.

Mudd, that "Sage" is gorgeous. I've never shot an Osage bow, but it's a beautiful wood that gets better with age. Maybe someday I'll have one. And I think I know where you got that one.
Rossco, is your "Expedition" glassless on the belly or does it have clear glass? I love the exposed fadeouts on the riser. I was really concerned about the look of the carbon backing when I first heard he was using it. To be honest I think it looks great. Like a modernized woven glass. Gives it a 21st century "old school" look. Really nice. If David is using clear glass on the belly I think the Exped is my next (and hopefully last) bow. And that Granpa is sweet. John's bows are top of the line.
Thanks everyone for the pics.
My bow has clear glass on the belly Mike - but Dave will do it clear, white, black or brown - your choice.
I like the look of the carbon too - but more importantly I LOVE how this bow shoots. Carbon combined with the CC/CV construction and limbs that are specifically set for your draw length makes for a very fast bow. The carbon also reduces limb weight causing it to be very soft in the hand.
If you get one I'm sure you'll love it.
