My buddy Troy recently ordered a Static Stalker Recurve from South.  When it comes to building a custom bow, we're complete opposites.  Personally I could care less what it looks like, I just need it to "shoot".  On the other hand Troy wants his bow to be a "masterpiece".  When he first showed interest in a Stalker, he drilled me with questions about wood choices.  I was upfront with him from the start and told him, "buddy you're talking to the wrong guy, South is the guy you need to be talking to.  After an extensive phone call between the two,  the collaboration begun.

Here are a few pics that were emailed to Troy from South.

     

     

     

It would take me a year to make a decision with all those amazing choices!

Looking forward to this one...

Totally agree Jake,
South does all my decisions when it comes to wood choices.    :D

This is the combination that they finally decided upon.  



Black and White Ebony, Macassar Ebony, and Claro Walnut.

WOW that looks great! Cant wait to see what the finished bow looks like!

That is a great selection of woods.I am waiting for a very similar bow, very curious of the finished bow pics.

Great looking stuff !!!

P.S. Does anybody have Souths Number? Them woods are SWEET!

Nice job Dude,

South is building my bow right now, also a static, osage and cocobolo riser and cocobolo limbs, should get it in about a month !

Let us know how those static limbs feel. I'm curious if they feel smoother, faster, or quieter, in your opinions.

Your going to have a very nice bow. Nice looking woods.

I was just testing you Charles...P.S.  you passed.    :p  


That bow is going to be in the top 10 for best wood combos for me.

South sure is a bow artist!  And make one of the best grips out there!

That is so awesome. I cannot wait to get mine.

How do the static tips shoot? AMAZING! My buddy KHALVERSON will tell you they shoot arrows like they are lazer guided. I'm extremely happy with mine!
