First off I want to thank Jess Stuart for helping me with the design.

I've been looking for a RMR for several months now and couldn't find one. Since I couldn't find one I decided to give a shot at making my own.

After talking to Jess he gave me quite a bit of info in what it takes to get the design right.

All I like is steelwooling it with 0000 steelwool to remove the high gloss.

The few shots I took before spraying tells me it's going to be a nice shooting bow. I'll know more once I have several hundred arrows through it.

The riser is CheChen and Bubinga with Maple accent stripes.

The limbs are Lamboo core inside black glass.

I stippled the grip as I've done on my past few bows.

Finished stats are 62" AMO 60#@28"

Again Thanks Jess.... [Not Worthy]

I like the whole bow! If it was #50, it would be perfect for me. I like the stippling, have done a couple factory bows like that, seems to really get hold of your hand.

Troy, that is a great looking bow. I been waiting for this one to show up, very nice indeed. Great wood choice, love the stippling.
It is good to see another remake of a classic, they are a very nice looking and shooting bow.
You are most welcome but thanks are not necessary, you wouldn't believe all of the help people offered me on my first ones, just passing it on a little.

The gloss finish is now history. Really looks great to me. All it needs now is the strike plate, shelf pad, and most likely string silencers.

Troy my experience with them is they need very little silencing. That is one of the things I truly love about them is how quite they are, especially since I shoot three under. Again, absolutely stunning!!

Jess,

If it wasn't for the twang of the string I doubt you would hear it when shot.

I'm using a 12 strand padded loop DF-97 string.

I cut the sight window to center, the velcro strike plate puts it just before center. I just tried to shoot my arrows and I can see right now I'll need to build out the strike plate. 800grs still gets to the target pretty quick. Much faster than they did out of my 55# bow.

Owl,

The Kingwood and Flaming Ambrosia Maple bow will be in the works in a few weeks.

I've been shooting the RMR today. Havn't chronied it yet. All I know is it's shooting really great. Smoothest 60#er I've made.
