Joe, the last few weeks of waiting is tuff but you will have one of the finest longbows made today by a true master bowyer. David work is functional art and well worth the wait, I have a few Miller longbows and they are as good as it gets in a true custom longbow, David is a stickler on limb alignment and limb timing. Also the expedition with the CC/CV limb design with the carbon adds a few FPS to the quickness. I almost ordered one myself in 2011 but decided on the Hawk instead. Its the quickest bow I own. Ron.
