The bow is actually not the colour combo I was originally going to have, due to a slight miscommunication (arising from only using email and not a telephone - so my fault), I ended up with a dark flare and lighter riser.
No problem for South though, he just stained the outer edges (which were zebra wood) I actually think it turned out so well I couldn't have done better if I'd tried to choose. I love dark woods so this one is right up my alley.
The bow itself came out stunning, everything about the lines on it are great. It shoots like a dream, even with the narrower grip (which I'm completely unused to)
The first shot was quite amusing, I suppose you would call it a bloody handshake. I gouged quite a big chunk out of my hand with the fletching due to holding it a little high... Obviously I worked that one out pretty quick.
Funny thing was though, even with the bump it still landed about half an inch from the centre of the target. Guess that sets the tone for such a bow, doesn't it? So now there is a nice little bloodstain on the white fibreglass just on the inside.
The only minor complaint I guess I would have is that there are a few bubbles on the finish but it is only visible up close and doesn't effect it in any way.
The bowyer himself was a super pleasant dude to deal with, did a great job and got it out quickly too. I think the total turn around was around 9 weeks from start of emails to having it at my doorstep... and I live in Australia so that's not a bad feat at all.
I had originally planned to put snakeskin limbsations on it, but I quickly realised it would be a total crime to do so when I saw it in the... wood? I guess you would say?
So took it down to the range for a few hours. Put about a hundred and fifty arrows through it. All smooth, fast, straight and tight groups. The arrows themselves actually stuck in quite a bit further than my other bow since the static tip really likes to fling them out fast and hard.
