I have fallen for another, my Bigriver`s are jealous. My good friend Dave Ricke(knifemaker on here) and I made this bow with a different riser. The glue joint failed & she broke at full draw  :scared:  .

The limbs came thru unharmed, so Dave made me a new riser from Osage & lacewood. This baby is nice. Real quick & the grip is purrfect.

It is my indoor & 3d bow, but I think I am going to deer hunt with it this year. I cant believe how accurate I am with this thing.

Hope you like the pics.

Dave sure enough makes a fine knife! Real nice bows too I guess.

I had the opportunity to shoot one of Dave's bows up at Compton last year and was REAL impressed with the way it pointed. The grip was very "friendly" to my style of shooting also. That is one nice looking bow you have there.

I haven't had the pleasure to see any of Dave's knives.......but if they "cut" like his bows "shoot".....they would be awesome !!!

Don I was standing with you when you were shooting Daves bow, I know not to shoot you for money with any bow after that day!

Oops forgot the specs. 62", 47#@ when I draw to 29 1/2" with the clicker. We made it with bamboo limbs & brown glass. I put on the antler tips myself & I am thinking i`m gonna put some skins on her for a little dress up. I`m using a d97 string.

Thanks for the kind words, this thing is a shooter.

I am shooting cheapo beaman 400`s uncut with 145 grain points & they are flying really nice. I put on a bear weatherest for giggles, the arrows fly soo perfect, although they flew nice off the shelf.

Brian,

If you don't mind, and are coming to Compton this year.....PLEASE bring that bow. I'd like to have one dance with her......if you don't mind.

Providing my shoulder is healed up enough for me to shoot. That grip looks "mighty friendly" too.

I will have it along for sure.Dave has made a few more too. I love the grip, I think it might need some checkering, shes pretty smooth. Hope you heal up.
