Simple but elegant. A bow that meets all hunting regs for all game in the USA. Yet isn't so insane in its construction that you would hesitate to take into the woods. A bow to rule them all (my collection anyway) a bow to do it all that was my goal. I know more about it on saturday.

Beautiful bow. Good luck with it.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Indeed Kirk. It's been a long day but I finally got around to making a string for my new bow. Still waiting on arrow shafts and the rest material I ordered to come in. Here are some fragmented sentences that I was thinking as I got and unpacked the bow.

First impressions: the quality of the built is second to none. The limb profile is wonderfully thin. 52 inch bow is going to be a dream to shoot out of a tree stand. This bow is freaking light weight. I guess with all my flatlines I forgot how light a one piece bow is.

Strung up. Strung profile is beautiful and shows that the limbs really hold some power. Cannot believe how small this bow is.

So despite not having my calf hair rests yet I took 2 shots off the shelf. First I should say that I do have a 56 inch prairie predator and this despite being shorter draws smoother. I really love bamboo as the limb core. Two shots were taken on the target in the fire light and I am quite impressed with how smooth and fast the bow is. I went inside after shooting and un strung my other bow.
