We met Cliff at the Nashville PBS banquet and he asked us to build him a bow here are the pictures of the bow and the email I recieved from him.

Thanks Cliff and we are so glad you are happy

The bow is one of our 56" Recurves it is 52@28 the woods are Tiger maple and Sasafrass in the riser and Tiger maple in the limbs. The Tiger maple is stained Olive Drab for hunting Tracey also added a Sweet Gum Leaf tatoo to the riser for Cliff

   
   
 
 

Hello, David and Tracey,

Bow arrived yesterday and I picked at post office today.

Beautiful and the handle is a perfect fit.  Some tweaking of the brace
height and a little tuning and it will be dead on.  I shot it a few times
after making sure the bow arrived as sent, and found it hitting pretty close
to where it was pointed.  Quick little sucker for it's draw weight.  I plan
to trim the herd down to this bow and its backup.  If it performs as
expected this fall, I might just have you make another and get rid of the
current backup.  :-)

Thanks again for a fine product.  Exactly as ordered and I couldn't have
done the sweetgum leaf any better if I'd placed a real one there.

Good looking bow Cliff.  It looks like they did a great job.

Oh man that is one sweet bow! I just love the design and looks of these bows. Gets me excited for when mine comes. I just might end up ordering a recurve to match the longbow I got coming.

Congrats Cliff on fine stick!      

David and Tracey are fine folks to work with and went the extra mile assuring I came away with exactly what I wanted.  I grabbed a bucket of arrows this evening and shot whatever came to hand and the bow digests a wide range of shafting.  It seems to prefer 2114s, my favorite shafting and a size I have a lifetime supply of.  We are beginning to enjoy each's company.  

Cliff, you shooting recurves these days? Are you drifting from long bows or just a little variety?

Man, I like that color.  Don't prop it against a tree and walk off.  The riser looks like an easy fit for however you grip it.

What are you bracing it at?

Billy

Real nice bow.

All native woods, some of my favorites! A sweet gum leaf and it's in my weight range...

Hope you have a good watch dog, Cliff! (One that likes Pupperoni.    :D )

I love the olive drab stained tiger maple, perfect camo but still beautiful.

Yes, Killi'.....sweetgum, of the genus Liquidambar.  You ever chew "liquid amber" as a youngster?

Billy - Come to think of it, I am shooting a recurve mostly these days.  I got tired of bumping my lockon cable and tree trunks in the "moment of truth."

Short recurves have made me nervous for a long time, even though I killed a buck in Desota Parish the first year I moved to Louisiana in 1979 with a Kodiak Magnum.  Never was able to shoot one as consistantly as longbows and recurves of at least 60 inches.  

That is, until I shot some of David and Tracey's bows in Nashville.  I came away more comfortable and decided to pony up for one, especially after looking at a longbow they had in a pattern and color that sort of "melted my butter."

The photos really don't do the bow justice...it's much nicer in person.  

Uncle Buck - I was just down the road from you last weekend.  Not far off highway 5, across the road from Shaw Park.  My parents moved there in 1963, the year I was given three choices...get a job, join the service or go to college.  

Cliff I am so glad you like the bow. It was a real treat to work with you and design this bow for you. And I loved how these woods and colors came out  

Thank you again Cliff, if you ever need anyting give us a call

I really like these 56 inch recurves!! I shot one similar to this, same weight and length and it felt like it drew the same as a bow 6 inches longer.    :cool:
I may have to "test" one of these puppies out in a blind!!!!
