Tembo Ordered!
« on: June 17, 2017, 12:12:00 PM »
Hello All,

I am a long time reader, but seldom post.  

When I turned 50 my wife said I needed a custom bow so I got an HH Cheetah that is the most amazing bow I have ever had.  Now, turning 55 in August, guess what?  That's right, I have the go-ahead for another bow.

This time it's going to be a Tembo, 68" ntn, [email protected], black glass, purpleheart riser and tip overlays, locator grip, and a satin finish.

Can't wait!

Barry....great choice. I have had three 50#+ HH bows made by Craig.    

Over the past few years I've had to drop 10# in draw in order to continue to shoot.  Found a 40# HH Halfbreed here in the classifieds and all is well!

Post a pic of that bow when you get a chance!  If you have any problem with pics, just shoot me a PM...I'll talk you through it!

Also, eventually, the folks in the "Hill" thread would appreciate a look-see   :thumbsup:

I just ordered and am waiting on a Howard Hill Ruffed Grouse 2 piece 45# @ 29, 68" long. My wait is about half over. I have 6 Hills and a few other Hill style longbows.......such fun to shoot.

Thanks everyone.  If it shoots like my Cheetah I will be super happy.  Spoke with Craig this morning to finalize the details.  Now the wait!  I will post pics when it arrives.

purple heart and black glass is a very nice combo IMO, I bet it will be a real nice shooter.
