Nice review Ken. I'm anxiously awaiting a chance to test one of these out myself. Steve builds a beautiful bow and puts his heart and soul into every one of them.....You chose wisely        

I just love the Leopard / Zebra wood combo on that riser..... Great pictures Ken.

Yeah I'm pretty much thinking the same bow but in bocote and wenge.  Maybe later in 2014 or sometime in 2015...

Like I said earlier, I am happy happy!! Nothing blesses me more than for a customer to love his bow. That means God is hearing my prayers as I build it.

God bless you all, Steve

I'm really surprised that there are no comments on that 6 in brace height. How many recurves can you get that are top mounted. Much less a belly mount with a 6 in brace> Now if you like it higher no problem. But you get 2 more inches of string time over even a low braced recurve that is belly mounted.

Nineworld, Bacote and wenge I heve.,

God bless, Steve

Everytime I see this thread I feel like I have to call Steve again .....

Notice, I m finishing the first of these with a new belly mount longbow limb. You will be able to get a bow with one riser and a belly mount static recurve and a belly mount heavy d and r longbow same riser. The one I am finishing is presold and is a super custom. If I get permission I will show a few pics of it when I get the finish on. Talk about stunningly fast!!! the d and r limbs are outstanding.
God bless, Steve

Need pics and details on speed......

Not for a while Mike. My tester in chief is playing in Costa Rica.

Grin

God bless, Steve

Updates on testing???!

Yeah Steve!  Would love to hear more about the longbow limbs!

Sorry gentlemen, Really, I have had some real delay stuff here lately. I have kept up on all deliverys in a timely manner but have had no extra time to even send anything off for testing. I delieverd the last two bows and am finishing up one on an elkhorn platform right now. I do not have a longbow version in stock to test as the customer added in an extra set of limbs at last moment.
Here is what has happened, My father in law who is a ww11 vet and 98 years old got Noro Virus and came down with pneumonia which almost killed him. After a long stint in the hospital and a nursing nome he was completely bedridden and well on the way to dying. I got him out of the nursing home and fixed up a room with a hospital bed and moved him in with us., No choice IMHO. He has required extensive care and rehab which takes every extra minute I don't have. Sooooooooooo Mike and everyone else , please do not feel like I am putting you off. I'm not . I am just completely worn out and do not have one second extra to do anything.

NOw the good news. From not being able to stand up when we got him , Jim is walking clear from the bedroom to the dining room with his walker. He is getting better every day and the coughing is gone and he is finally eating and sleeping. When he came home I bet he was not getting 300 calories a day and that was just Insure. So we are rejoicing and things are really looking up.

I am working on bows as fast as I can with being called every 10 minutes to come do this or that that the girls cannot do LOL . But we just keep going and praising Jesus and things are great.

I will probably be sending this elk antler bow out to test but it is a short draw. 27 in and high poundage. 65 lb. I am building another really quick and it will be in the new D and R version. Probably in a 60 in model. The limbs are exactly the same limb as the recurve but without the recurve. The bow I just delivered with thim was lower poundage target and 45 lb hunting limbs. The really felt fantastic and it was a tackdriver.

God bless, Steve

Pray the lord delivers your Father in Law to 100% and provides strength for you and the wife    

I sure appreciate that prayer!!!! God is really good to us. We were able to give him the first shower he has had in two months just now. Have had to sponge bathe him in the bed. He is happy happy. Me too . haha.
God bless you all, Steve

Prayers for his recovery Steve.

We will be here my friend...take care of business at home.

If you need any help in testing anything that will fit on the riser you built me, you have my info.  Would be more than happy to do anything I can.

World would be a better place if there were more people who put family first.

Prayers for your Father in laws recovery and God Bless you  and your family for doing for him. Some folks are quick to throw the elderly into a nursing home at the first problem..... I started reading this thread very impressed with the bow I saw ( I gotta have one) and am even more impressed with the man who builds them!! God Bless  

This one needs to go back up top!

Isn't that the truth...... That's a purty  bow  

Be thinking about ya Steve....I have a dad in assisted living now too...and I'm run ragged doing his job and mine at work.  All the while trying to keep wife and two daughters happy, helping my mother around her house, and keeping TradGang on course.

I've never been busier in my life.

Beautiful bow BTW.

Take care..........  

Hope all is well. Glad it went back to the top so I could see this bow.  Very unique riser and limbs. Interesting!

I hope your father in law is doing well!

Any new devolopements or info on this fantastic Steppe Eagle?
