Mine will be 66" with Wenge and Bocote riser, and yew limbs.
Congrats on your order.
NICE!!!    :thumbsup:

I know just how you feel, Ryan!!! 2years ago, we settled our Union Contract. The "back pay" check, was "found money" LOL!!! I called Big Jim, and ordered the Bear Kodiak T/D that I've been wanting for over 40 years... Sometimes "someday" actually comes!!!
I only shoot WOOD arrows... My kid makes them, fast as I can break them!

There is a fine line between Hunting, & Sitting there looking Stupid...

May The Great Spirit Guide Your Arrows..... Happy Hunting!!!

I just put in an order for one of the takedown Columbians also, macassar ebony riser and limb foots with yew limbs. Left the riser footing up to Alan. Also ordered one of their heritage bows as a gift for my father as he's about to finish up his North American superslam.

The contrast of the yew and ebony is going to be stunning!!!
What an awesome gift and amazing accomplishment!!!    :clapper:
Congratulations to your father and good on you for such a thoughtful gift!!!

Lookinf forward to seeing your bow Ryan and especially how it shoots. Best of luck with it.
The essence of the hunt for me is to enter nature and observe+ return safely occasionally with the gift of a life taken.

I was fortunate to shoot both the redesigned one piece and the new 3 piece, they are very, very nice bows in every aspect of a stickbow. I know the price tag seems high but there resale is the best on the market. Plus they look great laying next to  your critter in you field photo!

Awesome! Hope you love it. I have two TD Elite VLs, one from a decade ago, and a recent 2016 riser built for my extra set of lighter limbs. Now I'm drooling on the new longbows!

Mine's coming in right at 7 months so I'm guessing his is due in August or September.
