Absolutely Blown Away
« on: May 02, 2016, 11:55:00 PM »
A few days ago I bought a used ( in new condition) Stalker Coyote FXT long bow off of the classified section of this site. It is 49 lbs at 28 and 62 inches long. It has highly reflexed limbs. I got it in the mail today!  I was super excited as the bow was absolutely beautiful. I took it out of its packaging (which was superb) and put it together. I twisted the string up to 7 and 5/8 inches and guessed where the knock point would be based on my other long bow.

This thing is super quiet, steady in the hand, the grip feels like love. and its ability to handle my weird form speaks for itself!  Here she is!

I think the riser is ebony and cocobolo with maple accent stripes.
   

The limb vaneers are cocobolo and bocote with lace wood overlays on the tips and limb bolt pads  

Here are the first 6 arrows I shot out of it. I wanted to see which ones it liked better. This is at 15 yards. (looks like either set will do the job!)
   

One more. why not?
   


Thanks to Ermont for being a pleasure to do business with and selling a bow exactly as described!

Props also to South Cox of Stalker Stickbows for making a GEM!

Holy cow!      :goldtooth:     I am not going to get any work done!

I had just seen that bow and was getting ready to make a move on it right before you bought it darn you! Lol. Congrats on the new stick!

I believe the woods are ebony and cocobolo, with Bocote veneers and leopard wood overlays. I have the big brother to that bow in the same wood combos in a wolverine fxt static tip and working tip recurve limbs. Hands down the best shooting bow I own. I would really like to try a set of South's hybrid long bow limbs. Enjoy her. I'm sure she'll treat you well.
Plant a fruit or nut tree today, and have good hunting tomorrow.

Love the Ebony and Bloodwood combo.  Congrats!  That's some fancy shootin.  I don't think I could have put them in by hand in a tighter group.

Now that I see your pics I wish I did.
You have a beautiful bow, congrats and enjoy!

That's a beaut!

I looked very seriously at South's bows for my first custom.  I went another direction, but I'm not ruling one of his out of the question someday!

Thanks for sharing    :clapper:

It looks like you may be buying lots of arrows if you continue to shoot like that.  NICE BOW!

Some bows are very functional as well as being very artistic. This is one of those bows. Be sure to show pictures of game taken with it.
