I just had to write something about the bow I'm currently shooting. It's a 70" 75#@28" Northern Mist Classic. Black glass on front and back. Here's the thing. This bow was built in 1994 and still doesn't have a mark on it! I got in another location from a guy who's friend ordered it but when it came in he couldn't handle the weight. Years later the guy I bought it from bought it but couldn't handle the weight so just left it in a bow sock. I was looking and bought this bow for a song! Of all the bows I've seen I can honestly say I've never seen the meticulous, hand work that this one has. The edges are smooth and pefect, the riser the grip, all of it is a work of art and it shoots heavey arrows just as good as it looks. In the Traditional magazine article with Steve I see he hadn't yet began building bows full time when he built this one but I now know why he had a good enough following to do it.

Steve makes a great bow and is a great guy, to boot.

I just picked up a Sheldon used. I can't wait to try it. It seems these bows have a good reputation, yet they are very inexpensive.

I have a NMist classic that I got on a trade that was built in 2004 and is in new shape and shoots so smooth.Steve makes the best of the best.

My Classic is hands down my favorite bow. Gil is getting his Shelton from me and it is also a sweet shooter but too light for me. No reason for it just hanging on the wall.
I also would like to see some pics of your classic, and if you ever want to part with it, please let me know. Steve makes an awesome bow. Personally, I doubt I will ever purchase another new bow that doesn't come from Steve.
