Kevin,I don't think its the finish (Matte) as much as its the matching of the Wood combos.The Cocobolo riser blending with the Juniper limbs and Yew cores.I notice reg. bamboo is very white and compared to the Yew looks very Bright and New looking.The grain of the Juniper skins is just fantastic,no camera can capture that look.

Haven't seen the Cheetah done with Yew cores, I'm intrigued! Sounds very nice. T.

that is a great looking bow, is that a locator grip?

You guys are killing me.  I already bought three bows this year and now I want another two or three.  Just got a Paxton Talon as my first D-bow but haven't had a chance to take it out.  Now I'm really wanting a combo of a Redman and a Crocodile.  Also a Black Cougar would be nice, you know Black Locust instead of Honey locust.

It's all murder on my bank account as I'm saving to take my girlfriend on vacation while I'm stationed over here.  I gotta say she's great though.  We were talking about our faults last week and I mentioned wanting bows.  She asked if there was something I wanted right then. "Yeah" I said, "buy it" she said.  I think I need to marry her, plus she wants to shoot with me, bow buying for her too.  I'd be maybe too lucky.

Ha!  Marry the girl ASAP.  :thumbsup:
