Hi,I'm thinking about getting another HH bow and I'm looking at having white or grey glass on the limbs like the older bows did.Has anyone seen or have one,I was wondering just how it looks?Thanks

Neither, I would put brown on it for camo purposes! I had a Griffin with brown on back and belly and it was perfectly camoed. It was a pretty bow! Ken

I have ones with black,brown,and clear.I was just thinking of something a little different.I should call Craig and see if they have any green glass that was on the older Bears.I always liked that look.

I think the grey looks classy with a reddish brown riser, like Cocobolo, but I don't care much for the white, even though I own one.

I really like the looks of the Centennial with the green back and white belly. I myself wouldn't want grey or white on the back, but that's just me. The "Blood Trail" model being built by Steve Shultz has black on the back and white on the belly - looks real sharp!

A friend of mine has an older Tembo from the 60's when Schulz was building for Howard. White on belly and black on back. One of my favorite bows! White glass use to be considered the strongest and most consistent in quality. Good shootin, Steve
