So, I've put in an order for a Bamabows hunter after doing some research. I looked at all those pictures on the website and read about the service and the products put out by Nathan Steele. I kept coming across two things...
A) Nathan Steele is one heck of a nice guy.
B) His bows are great.
So far I can vouch for A. He's seriously a really nice guy, and extremely helpful. I can't believe that level of service. He gave me advice as well as just being a very nice and helpful guy. I'm already glad to be getting something from him based purely on how he seems to be really good with his customers.
As far as B - the pictures look awesome but I won't see my bow for about 5 months! That's the backlog, but being that all of these bowyers build these to spec I don't mind at all. I have another longbow I can shoot until then.
Anyways, I'm just excited and wanted to put out there that he's really great to be in contact with. Probably helps explain why the backlog

Also last week I bought Jay Campbell's book and I just finished reading the chapter wherein his son and him rafted in Alaska. Really enjoying the book so far. Best book I've read in a long time...although most of the books I've read over the last several years have all been textbooks (UGH!). Even so - it's a beautifully written book. Almost teared up when he talked about Jay Massey...even though I haven't done much research into him.
