That is a sweet looking bow. I second Jake's sentiment lets hear a review. As soon as I read your OP I went and checked out Great Northern's web site. I like their Super Ghost the best out of all the bows they carry you made a great choice in my opinion. Very 50's as far as aesthetics go which is my preference in a recurve bow. With excellent materials, fit and finish. Thank you for sharing you may have helped me find my second bow. The only difference is I would go for the Grayling Green version. My nostalgia meter was pegged as soon as I saw that green mixed with those lines. All I could think was WOW!

Thanks guys, Paradocs, big thanks to you! It is a sweet bow for sure. So far I am getting used to the grip. I have slapped my arm a bunch. It's quite a bit thinner than the sage. 48# it is zipping my 466 gr arrows. It draws so easily, it doesn't feel like 48-49#. It's very quiet even with my arrows. I have not messed with the brace yet. the rec from Great Northern is 7 1/4- 7 1/2 a very small variance. It is set right now at a touch under 7 1/2. The bow has very thin string from A.S. looks like an 8 strand. I think Allen and myself are going to tinker a bit with strings at the end of the month. Im not sure if my arrows will work. 3555 trads gt at 29" 195 gr up front. Im very happy with this bow. How do you post pics? Please tell me.

Yeah setup a photobucket account and upload the pics.  Then follow the directions in the "Tradgang and computers" or the "photography/video" forum.  There are a bunch of how to threads.
