I just wanted to get some input on what you folks think of gray fiberglass on a bow.  I have built a couple of these and think it is a neat look.  The riser woods really "pop" with the light gray glass.  Before I pursue any more of these I think I should get your opinion.  Would you choose the gray over the other popular options availiable?  Is it too light colored?  Etc.

Thanks for your honest opinions...you won't offend me.  Chad

Personally I think that its a cool look. Makes your bow stick out in a crowd. It looks awesome with purpleheart.

Great from a pop-up or treestand. I'd be leery if hunting from the ground though. I'm sure it still shoots as great as the rest of your bows though!   :thumbsup:

I saw the one you had at Denton Hill.......looked real good to me! It has kind of a classic look to it! This one looks every bit as good!   :thumbsup:

I have an old Massie longbow that has gray limbs.
The riser is some kind of laminated gray wood that has red laminations in it. One of my favorite combinations of woods and colors. The gray is really sharp.

It looks sharp I like it a lot. This must be the bow Karl was telling me about on the phone.

It's different.
My preference would be brown or black glass on the back with gray on the belly.

I like the looks of it, but does the sun reflect off of it?

Outwest

To light for me.
I am partial to black glass or dark veneers.
Maybe if it was a couple shades darker.

It's unique, but it's not for me. It's great to have choices. You do fine work, Chad.

It looks good but I wouldnt choose it for a bow of mine. It is a very light gray, I wonder what a darker gray would look like.

Chad, Nice work, I do prefer a bow that shows the grain of wood... but I think some guys will like the grey.

There was a Hill in the classifieds that had grey glass ..... It was the first bow I'd seen with it. I was a HUGE fan of that Hill and I'm a HUGE fan of your bow too!

It is a light shade of gray, I wish I had the option of getting a darker shade but I don't.  It would be a better target color then a hunting color.

I had one on my rack at Denton Hill.  It got a lot of attention.  Alot of people thought it was cool but chose to purchase a clear glass bow instead. I sent it home with Tippit and I came home with one of his knives.

I like it better than black ok green. Do agree darker shade would be better if available.

I never thought about two colors, I can see how black on the back and gray on the belly would be really different. Could you do a River Runner in Gray?

It is a cool look Chad! I little darker with some grey dymondwood in the riser would be awesome...but I'm a "grey" fan   :campfire:

I prefer it to black for hunting, the dreary overcast sky we've had lately and White oak bark would go good with it. Clear is my favorite. It really helps show off the accents nice work.
