New Bama Bow.

gorillabows · February 10, 2012, 08:30:00 PM

Just received in the mail today a new Bama bow. I have heard some good things about these bows. A good friend....sorefingers....is the one that suggested that I call Nathan at Bamabows.

The bowyer was a joy to work with, and was more than tolerable with my gift to gab! Which according to my wife requires a lot!

Anyway I just want to say that I had a great experience with the customer service, and received a great bow. If you want to see some photos of the bow, it is the top bow on the "in stock bows" link on his website.

Thank you Nathan

I like the dark woods! I've been looking at his bows for a while just need to save a little more money first!

Curious what arrows you shoot when your draw wt. gets into triple digits?

Sweet Joe hope you have fun!

Congratulations on the new Bama!

My other bows have seen much less use since I got mine...

Congrats I like the dark wood with the contrasting leather grip! 100# Yikes

I really like a simple and clean look in a bow. Pretty bows are really nice, and I can appreciate that too. Simple looks for a simple man I guess.

ONEWHOHASFUN.....Sorefingers here on tradgang makes some great arrows. He has built me some that fly perfect out of this bow.

Here is a photo of them.

Photo does not do them justice.
If I remember right, they are spined over 100 and Frank added some weight up front. Just the best wood arrows that I have ever shot. Doug fir is the wood.

Thank you Marlon. Have you talked to Nate about those monsters you shoot?

Welcome to the brotherhood! Great looking bow you've got there. Ol' Nate is the man!

kestimator · February 11, 2012, 11:39:00 PM

Congrats on your new bow!!!
My shoulders creak drawings half that weight

DannyBows · February 12, 2012, 08:26:00 PM

Well Done, and Welcome to the Bama Clan! My 5th Bama is in the works right now. Nate's bows are addictive.

BOHO · February 12, 2012, 09:06:00 PM

you still likin the new bow Joe? How long can you hold that at full draW? LOL

I was wondering who the crazy guy was that bought it. I really liked the dark wood on that bow, if it would have been 50 lbs lighter I'd have bought it! I just bought a used Bama from a fellow TG'r, I'll be waiting at the door everyday this week for the mail lady!!

"If it was just 50#s lighter."..

... Usually it's only, "If it was just 5 #s lighter." ..

..There's one in every crowd.

Hey Boho, I am a snap shooter. that is I come to full draw at the corner of my mouth and let go.

I hold to a count of three to get built up though.

It is a nice shooting bow, and feels real nice in the hand. Nate has worked the handle so that it fits perfectly.

Any pics of the expedition would be great to see if anyone has any?

DannyBows · February 13, 2012, 03:30:00 PM

Here's my Expedition. She's 58", 50@28, Dark stained Curly Maple riser with Boo lams. Very sweet shooting bow.
