Got my new NM from Steve at K'zoo. Its not really new, it was made in '05. Steve made it for someone and missed weight on it, and then he must have put it in the corner and forgot about it. The bow has a larger than normal grip (just the way I like'em) which is why he didnt just finish it up as a "stock" bow.
It came out 63# @ 30", a little stronger than I've been shooting lately so I'm gonna have to grow into it a little at a time. From from what I can tell so far, its typical Northern Mist, smooth..shoots strong..and quiet as a mouse with a bare string.
I'd say it doesnt rate too high on the "flashy" scale, (niether do I), its more of the smooth..subtle..clean kind of purdy. Walnut handle and veneers, tempered bamboo limb core, Ebony tips.
Its marked Baraga, so its the only 66" Baraga in existance.
Here she is..

Yeah Ben, at this time this is NOT the bow I'd take to an all day shoot.

That is a good looking bow. Hope you can get worked up to the weight.
