Quote from: evgb127 on January 08, 2026, 09:02:22 PMI always wanted to try one of your Follower Extreme bows Mike. It looked like a fine bow.  I have no doubt you could build a backset version that would be a shooter.  If I had the time I'd like to try to build one myself.  I've always been curious about building one with a riser in the center (not a traditional asl or a forward handle, but more of an English style).  I think Allen Boice built one like that, but it didn't get a lot of attention. There are a few pictures of Howard Hill shooting one though.

Here is a photo of one of Allen Boices English model. I liked it a lot but the poundage was too light for me.

The only thing I asked for was Bamboo limbs with Myrtle veneers, and told Jim to use his discretion on the riser. I was going to go with gray colored glass, but my other two ASL's are  Northern Mists-a Sprague with brown glass and a Ramer with green glass so I thought why not splurge just a little.

Great looking bow- congrats!

I started wearing glasses when I was in 4th grade. I am now 70 years old.
My eyes were really bad and I wore glasses most of my life. Funny things was into my 40's when a lot of my friends were getting glasses and some progressed to bifocal I heard a lot of complaints about the bifocals and how they would trip over things. It concerned me as I worked construction but when I did get them I had absolutely no issues. But no matter what glasses I changed to I never had any problems with my shooting.
Then in my late 50's I got cataract surgery and wow what a difference. I could see clearly at every distance except for very close where I use cheap readers for stuff inside of 2 ft.
Such a relief to not have glasses fogging up while hunting. No sunlight reflecting, etc.

Here's a few animals taken with a 62" mojo stick. This bow was built for Tom hackbart and traded back and forth between me and another buddy. Outstanding bow.

Just checking if we can still post on this thread.

Transitional avoids lines and blurring.  No need to get use to them when you are shooting.

There used to be a lot of hunting threads about caribou during the early days of tragang. However, they disappeared for a while as the migration changed or something. Anyhow, it's good to hear a caribou thread start.

I wish you the best of luck. And keep us posted on who you find to take you hunting as I would love to do that one day.

Welcome back!
