In 2000 KOM was making them and they are the fastest ever made.

cpnhgningct, Fred has real nice hand writing too, I think he did all the writing on the bows when he was part of the company.

I think Rich Burch did a lot of the writing.  I think the fastest and smoothest Bighorns had the RamFlex limbs that Rich developed.  Im not hooked on speed but none of my Bighorns are slow.  Certainly not my Grand Slam that my bro killed a couple elk with as the arrow blew thru them.

Taxidermy, you're correct. You can tell an asbell era by the handwriting first and foremost..

Well I guess my trade fell thru. I sold the bow that was to be traded and I can't get in touch with the fella that has it. Oh well, sometimes you win sometimes not so much.........lol

I have a curved bed "Colorado". I cannot recall how many whitetails I took with this bow. I preferred the dark red solid color of this riser to the others. I haven't shot it in awhile,it hangs by my other bows,every time I look at it it brings back cool memories. It has the best handle of all my bows. It hangs now 65lbs is abit much.

I'd like to get a lefty around 45-50#@28".  Most I see are much heavier.  I've never owned one of these.

A one piece Bighorn was my first custom bow. I bought it when I was 19 and newly stationed in the AF in Colorado in 1985. I drove up to Ft. Lupton to order it and pick it up. In all truth it was as much to meet Fred as it was to get the bow. It was 75# @ 29. Great shooting and simply gorgeous bow. Shot it for years. Had a couple of his earlier T/D recurves as well. Simply great bows. I ordered them all way to heavy but I didn't know that then. I thought a man's bow started at 70#.
