Nathan is an outstanding Bowyer, you can't go wrong with purchasing any one of the models he offers. He is very easy to work with and will go out of his way to insure your satisfaction.

Agree with bawana. I am fortunate to live about 2 hours from Nate and at least once a year make a trip down to visit with him. I have two of his bows and love them. Among the best in quality and craftsmanship.

I own 5 of Nate's bows, you can't go wrong with anything he builds.

Here's a link to a review Rob D. did on Nate's Hunter model.

I should be getting my hunter model from him any week now. All I can tell you is that there are nothing but positive reviews of his bows on the Internet and he's really easy to talk to and work with. I'll let you know if all those glowing reviews are legit as soon as my bow arrives.

Heard nothing but good reviews till date about Nate's bows. I am planning to order one soon, just short on moolah now days and Indian rupee to US $ conversion rate is not helping much..  :(

Can't say much more than what's already been said.  He makes an outstanding product, and it fantastic to deal with.  Communication with him is always top notch.  He's always returned emails, phone calls, etc.  His bows are beautiful and are great to shoot.  He will answer all your questions and talk you through anything you're not sure of.  

For wanting to get a more custom hand built bow you'll be hard pressed to beat his prices anywhere.  His turn around time at the moment is a bit longer than normal.  I am currently on his build list for the second time and am waiting until later in the year to hopefully order an Expedition.  

I hope this helped.

Hello all. Thanks so much for the input. It was really helpful. I am about to buy my first traditional bow and I found Nates website here on tradgang. It was the most professional website I have seen and his bows look amazing. I just was hoping to get some feedback from those that actually own some of his bows and I have!

Thank you all again and have a great day.

Nathan

I own 2, have owned 4, and have a special one on the way. Something new and different from the Bama camp.

It sounds like you've heard all you've wanted to know, but I'll echo everyone's comments and give you my .02 for the sake of beating a dead horse. lol

I took a chance on Nate's bows a few years ago before anyone had heard of him around here and watching his business grow has been a trip. The happy customers keep piling up and his bows continue to improve.

You'll be happy with a Bama. I suggest a Royal if you can afford it. They are worth it.
