Thanks for all the comments guys. Yes, the limb veneers are Tamo Ash. I live 7 hours away or I would love to stop and see Chad. If I ever get up that way I will do so for certain. I met Chad a few years ago at a Trad archery show in Waterloo IA. I was looking for my first traditional bow after 20+ years with a compound. Chad was as nice then as he is now. Anyway, I decided on a different bow and bought too much draw weight. I tried to use that bow for 1.5 years, but struggled and went back to the wheels. After two years with the wheels I realized they just didn't work for me anymore. The successes I had were hollow. Over the years I killed many deer and many nice bucks using wheels, but the thrill was gone. I needed more out of my bow hunting experience so I recommitted myself to trad. I jumped back on this awesome forum and found the desire again. I remembered my meeting with Chad.....how nice he was and how I liked his bows, so I called him up. We chatted about my situation, my previous trad experience, and where I should start this time. So here I am. I have some trad experience, but I am still a rookie at best. So, when you ask how I like the thumbrest, I like it. It feels normal to me because all of my compounds, and my one previous recurve, had a thumbrest. Don't be surprised if you start seeing some questions from me as I restart my journey. You guys are always so helpful. This forum is a great resource. Thank you.
