I've been wanting a straight-handled 2-piece longbow for awhile now and finally asked Nate to build me one. I wanted the entire bow in black walnut with clear glass, no locater, and 70" long. I asked Nate to pick the rest out for me and he added buffalo horn for accents and tip overlay.
I received it this weekend and am extremely happy with the result. This is now my favorite Bama. It is smooth, quiet, and looks amazing. The takedown system with the graphite is awesome. Fits snug when it should and isn't that difficult to remove when necessary.
I'm a fairly tall guy (6'4") and absolutely love the 70" length, especially at 47# at 30". I also have large hands so the grip is nice and thick. The walnut made for super smooth shooter. It is my favorite wood by far.
Nate even nicknamed it the "Sniper" for me. I've been preaching to the Bama choir for several years, but he truly outdid himself on this one. I can't say enough about it.
