Take it back, I talked to Jason. My bad. I just talked with whoever answered the phone and later found out it was actually him. Nice guy though. Very helpful.

Well I asked for his thoughts on a Cheetah vs. an all bamboo bow like the Big 5 or Tembo. Jason said that they really aren't that far apart and your looking at a difference of around 3-4-5 FPS. He said he personally shoots a Cheetah because he likes the look of Juniper.

So in the end, I decided on a Cheetah. Cocobolo riser and overlays, black leather grip (laced up), and a silver bear inlay. I opted for the locator grip, and did decide on ordering 50#'s. So it should be around 53-55 I'd imagine. No string follow, just straight. (Hope I didn't forget anything.) I figgered the black leather grip would make the Coco and Juniper pop a little bit. I just hope the Coco and Juniper on mine is as nice as I've seen on the other's.

We had a dog pass away on Christmas morning of this year that my dad and I were pretty close too. We called him "Pond Bear" (from the show Ax Men), because he looked like a big ol black bear. That is why I wanted the Bear inlay. I'm also having Jason put "Pond Bear" on the limb instead of "Cheetah". That way he'll be with me wherever I have my bow.

Congrats... nice choices.    Your wait will be about the shortest out there for a custom bow.    My entry on the board is July 8.   I'd have gone with July 1, figuring they'd try to get it out before the holiday, except for the inlay.

Nice to touch on naming the bow with your Puppy's name . As a dog person [ no kids just dogs and horses ] I have named a bunch of my Hills bow after pooches and ponies , both living and passed.

Pictures? I have to take some of those? Not sure if I'll be able to find the camera and I'm just so busy these days... :dunno:  

Jason said 4-5 weeks. I hope I get lucky because I'm going on a camping trip the week of July 11. We'll see though.

Well, my projected date for your bow may be off.   It's possible threads like this one and "HH Bug" are backing Craig up.    I know when the Hill Longbowmen started ordering LBC's a couple of year ago, delivery slowed down by about a week and a half!     :biglaugh:

New betting possibility:  Will Dick finish his current bow project before Craig finishes   K. Mogensen's?

(And OK, already... What's the "K" stand for?)
