My new Bama just arrived from Nate at BamaBows. This is the 5th Bama in my current collection. Nate just keeps amazing me with his work and design. This bow is AWESOME!
She's an Expedition Hunter model. 62" and 50@28. Cocobolo riser and overlays. 3 lams of Bamboo limb core with brown glass instead of the standard black. The brown glass is really sharp and goes perfect with the Coco. The grip is brown Beaver Tail.
Nate got the grip exactly the way I wanted it and the fit and finish is excellent.
Now about her performance. I already have an Expi in 58" and it's a sweet bow but this 62" version is so smooth drawing I was blown away on the first shot. It almost feels like it has invisible wheels giving it let-off on the last half of the draw! Incredible feel. I don't know how Nate does it.
He cut the shelf closer to center than normal making for a very spine tolerant bow. I shot 3 different spined arrows, carbon and wood, and they all shot right on.
Nate referred to her as a Spit Fire when he 'sighted' her in for me. After shooting her I agree. This bow is really fast, but very stable. Quiet too, all I got with a bare string was a bit of string buzz, which a half pair of Hush Puppys will eliminate.
This is a great bow and I'm as happy as can be with her. Nate got her exactly as I wanted her. I'll be bringing this little 'Spit Fire' to the Whittingham in 2 weeks, can't wait to hit the courses with her!
Thank you Nate for another great bow. Well Done!
