Those are incredible. Very nice bows!    

Michael Arnette is going to post a couple of pics of my Hummingbird Kingfisher 3 piece longbow by Ben Graham. I'm biased but I don't think anyone makes a better looking bow. Thanks for posting for me Michael.

You win.

Yeah there's nothing like functional art.  My Blacktail:

 

She's darkened down over the years.  When I first got her ~2007: Cocobolo and Bocoate.

 

Now my Stalker Coyote is no slouch either:

RER LX,

Good stuff from Ben Graham:

This Hummingbird I use to own. I probably shouldn't  have sold it but the Hill bug bite very hard. God bless, Sco tt.

No, you shouldn't have. That's a beauty.

 

 

 

This bow is called a Black Ram Traditions.  I tried to contact the guy who made it but I believe he only makes bows for his friends at this point. Bought it at an auction and its a very fast bow.  Trad gang members were able to give me some history on the builder and the original owner.  The receipt and some bow info were in the bag.

It was completed on my 17th birthday.  I remember my dad had me out turkey hunting and trout fishing.  we caught a few trout that day, saw our first ever white turkey and adopted a  stray dog who followed us home from the trout stream          :rolleyes:     .  she would eat the creek chubs off my line before I could get them to shore and had developed a method of catching field mice just like a  coyote. Then on the way home my dads truck broke down and my mom had to drive 3 hours to rescue us.  BTW it was also mothers day... she wasn't happy and was even more upset when I brought a dog in the car lol.  good times.

anywho, its a good bow if you like a  fast flat shooter.  I get 185 fps with a 12.5 grain per lb arrow.

Nice bow Charlie. Do you hunt with it? Never heard of the make.

Hey Dave, I have not hunted with it..  It shoots flatter than anything I am used to and have to shoot it a while to get used to it.

The guy who built them was from WI. I don't think he ever built a lot for commercial  sale.  The guy who passed was a friend of the builder. he shot strictly indoor target league and was more of a a compound target archer.  He got into the recurve for a bit before he passed.

Here's a Rose Oak Heritage that was finished for me a couple of weeks ago.  It is Macassar and Bolivian Rosewood.  The bow is 58" and 47@26". It is of course a lefty.

I love the looks and feel of a Bear Super K.  However, I love the convenience of a TD.  This bow is a super dooper combination of these two preferences.  The bow is smooth shooting. It is so quiet, with just the single set of puffs that sound isn't something that crosses my mind when I shoot it.

The limb to riser fit of this bow is so cool and nearly seamless that I get a big grin just looking at it.

Don't know if I'll get it done but I'm planning on only one more bow and it is due next month. It will be the same model (Blacktail T2 Sitka) but different woods as the one pictured above the Heritage on my mantle.  If I break this promise to myself it will be for a bow being made by a new bowyer located in Texas.  (Sheesh, I didn't even get that "one more bow" sentence written before I thought of a possible exception!)

 

 

Looks great Roy.  I'm sure you'll like yours at much as I like mine.
