3 votes for all left handed..its unanimous..

I would go for green or brown on the back, dont like black. Same colors for the belly, or clear to see the nice color of the tempered Boo, all 3 lams on the front of the handle. FF capable, wedges usually take care this with a good padded loop string.

It will have to be an inletted medallion or symbol.
The bows will need to be as varied as we are. We are of different heights, draw lengths and strength levels. We all have different tastes in woods and glass. But we are bound together with the love of a simple bow, to be signified by that medallion or icon inset in the riser.

Well, well, my Wesley Special was waiting when I got back from a camping trip. I would post pics, but Photobucket is being testy today. Maybe I can get some up later.
Anyhow, the bow shoots just like I hoped it would. Hitting where I'm looking with field points and broadheads, and tuning was a snap. There is noticeable handshock compared to my r/d bows, but that was to be expected, and it is really no biggie.
Specs: 55@28, 68". I'm shooting cedars spined 65-70, 625 grains.
Now I will be able to hunt elk with it in a bit over a week. Yahoo!
Tried Photobucket again and at least got one pic loaded. Caramelized bamboo limbs and bacote riser, with moosehide wrap on the grip. The inscription is to honor my old Army unit, and those who have been there know what "Sat Cong" means.

I think I feel sorry for people that don't shoot Hill style bows....

I've had mine for not quite a week and I could not be happier. I'm mad at myself for not getting one sooner though. There just something awesome and easy about it. I love how the bow tells you when you don't shoot her the way she likes to be shot. Instant feed back! But when you do your part it just the sweetest shot sequence I have experienced.

I guess what I'm really saying is.... I've been bitten HARD by Hill bug!!!!

Very cool bow Centaur! I have a Tembo on order, I hope it comes out as nice as your bow.

 I hope you don't mind that I looked up your quote " Sat Cong" translates to "kill communist" for anyone else that was curious.
I was still in diapers when you when in Vietnam. Thank you for your service.

For you Hill shooters who are also addicted to elk, here's something that will bring a smile to your face and a longing in your heart.

The weather forecast for Stanley Idaho tonight is for a low of 25 degrees. If you have ever hunted elk, you know what that means. The bulls are going to start getting fired up!  None too soon either, as I am loading up the llamas and packing in my elk camp in the morning.

It's been a long time coming, but elk season is just a few days away. My Big Five is hungry and so am I.

Sharp bow centaur! Congratulations. Thhat handshock will feel like an old friends handshake with a little time spent with her.

Yep Blaino well said. You hit the nail on the head!
