Just for fun lets here who has a bow on order and what it is.
Don't tempt me. I have enough bows already.
I have a Northern Mist Shelton in yew that should be ready in about a month.
In my mind I have a few on order....
I have a Blacktail on order. It is being build as we speak! :jumper: :jumper:
Chad Holm is building me a Goshawk longbow, should be here this week. And I ordered a Northern Mist Whisper dual shelf at Baltimore in May, was going to here in October but with Steve's move south I may have to wait a bit more. :biglaugh:
Shrew Samurai.
Like ron w says "Now I just have to keep away from the classifieds"
Good to here I'm not the only one with a bow on order. And I agree the classifieds can be very tempting.
I'll be shortly demoing a 2pc Toelke Pika which I may end up keeping if I like it. Stay tuned for a photo spread and review in the next few weeks.
Pittsley Predator ordered 2 weeks ago. Never shot one so it will be a new experience. I think the low cut shelf will be nice. I thought he said a 2-3 week lead time? That sounds excellent to me!
While its not inexpensive...it is much less expensive than some.
It will be a 62" bow, 59lb@31", charcoal grip area with fall brown wedges. (predators are usually a 2 wood combo for the riser)
And now actually I forget what wood he said would look best on the limbs! Zircote maybe?
Black belly.
I wanted cocobolo for the grip area. but they were out of it and it is hard to get and high priced right now.
I made a string for it yesterday.

I ordered a light weight JD Berry Morningstar.
I am on the Centaur build list.
I have a Yellowstone Half Breed due sometime in the January-March time frame.
Another Schafer Silvertip, be here in February and a Dale Dye Medicine point, 6 months into a 18 month wait.
Just got limbs for my Toelke Lynx today. On Mike Treadways list for around August and waiting on a check to clear for a 2 piece Treadway, used bow deal.
56" Kanati, green glass and bear style overlays!! 53@28 I'm stoked, should be here end of January
JD BERRY VIXEN
I have a Heartland Surge 3 pc. longbow newly on order. Thinking 60" with 14" riser and a uncommon wood / glass combo that I think is going to be unique and stunning! Pics in about 12 weeks...
I am officially done ordering bows, I have all I want fortunately!
Silvertip.
silvertip lb...should be in my hands in a matter of hours :jumper:
also a hill country bobcat around x-mas

I agree totally. And it looks to me like the silvertip is quite popular.
Not a bow, But a new set of Z4 limbs for my SXT Zipper
Silver Tip t/d recurve, my first one. Should be a few months out.
Expecting a Dryad Orion with ACS LBX limbs any day now. Osage and Pau Ferro Riser.
Just got a new MOAB 2 months ago from Jim. I heard on here that he was gonna be retiring soon so a few weeks ago I ordered another MOAB, 60 in 55@28, this one is a "Po Boy" version with Osage riser and bamboo limbs. Figured I better get another MOAB just in case something happens to one of my other ones!
i got it!!!
silvertip 3pc. t/d longbow
55@28
64in.
rosewood dymondwood with b&w ebony accent wave and sight window overlay
bamboo single carbon limb with b&w ebony veneer
smooth sheep horn tips

Have a Javaman Helms Deep on order - should be coming up soon.
Well, I had one on order. It arrived three weeks ago. A Rose Oak Heritage T/D. A 50#, 62"er. Shoots like a dream.
I have a Kota Killum and a Rose Oak Ace being built. Ken
I have a set of Tall Tines Limbs on order as of today. I bought a bow used but need some different limbs.

:thumbsup: They sure do - I love my 62" 53# TD !
As far as what's on order, I'll just leave this clue...... :coffee: :D
I have a Javaman Elkheart on order, just got on list last week, so i have a long wait. Might have to go to Kalamazoo and shoot a helmsdeep, to make sure the Elkheart is what i want, ive shot the elkheart, but not the helmsdeep.
I've had to sell my last couple of "heavy bows",
a concession to increasing age and a deteriorating shoulder... While I hated to see them go, I feel blessed to be on the list for a late spring / early summer JavaMan Elkheart!! It'll be carbon-limbed to make up for decreased weight. Can NOT wait to see it / shoot it / enjoy it!!

Just ordered a t/d Toelke pika! Can't wait!
