This bow is 55 lbs. @ 29.5 inches. 64 inches long with Bacote and cherry in the riser and bamboo limbs. What a beauty! We chronoed it and it shot a 485 grn. arrow at 184 ft./sec. Not bad for a longbow. As a matter of fact it is 4 ft./sec. faster than my Tornado of the same weight.

Kirk,Thanks, been having fun with this new longbow.I like the amber look of the bamboo under the glass.Although the black glass over the bamboo looks awesome with some risers too. We are going to have a good time at Western States,cant wait.

He's a lefty so I think I'm safe. We're going to try to make the shoot.

I have been shooting this bow for a few days now and I have to say that it shoots even better than it looks. I think we are going to be friends for a long time to come. Each day I like it a little more. And it's looks don't hurt it either, what a looker.
