it's a 1pc tembo, 70", 50@28, candy boo under clear glass, string follow, plain tips, coco riser, locator handle, black laced grip.

wait time is now 5-6 weeks - and counting.   :)  

the tembo blank is due to me inside 3 weeks.

plus another 'hawk t/d ordered as well.

yeah, the fun just never ends ......  :thumbsup:    :notworthy:    :campfire:

Rob...haha !
I am going to try a new one with the same grip as you ordered . I'm normally a straight grip fella but if I can get a well rounded one I can see it gracing a new Redman or crocodile ...

I'll call them this week , those new sponsors of ours !

I am thinking a new Redman or Crocodile

Wow guys I thought I got it bad as I just ordered a Robin Hood. Craig told me about 5 weeks, and I also like the looks of Rob's grip so I ordered that as well. Jeez maybe I need the support group too.

I`ve decided with my Wifes prodding to send my Big 5 to Craig and get a weight reduction as its a bit to stout for me. I`m also gonna get him to turn the straight grip into a slight locator like the one Rob had posted of his.I had thought about swapping with Brother Mudd..actually decided to swap then changed my mind. Sorry Brother I`m gonna keep this one a bit but thank You for your trouble. Should get it back in a couple of weeks. Just in time whack a swamp rooster.

 Is this thread some sort of a "record"? We are all sick. Nothing a big gathering around a campfire for a few nights and some trips through the swamp will not heal though....RC

I just ordered a new Tembo today also! It's gonna be a long 5 weeks. It should have a different look. At least I haven't seen one with this combo.

I know what ya mean Rob, bows coming in from all directions. Two weeks ago I received another BW PCHX, yesterday my lost creek Life-Ender showed up and, in 5 weeks a new Hill Tembo! So many bows and so little time.

Dave, I don't think that is a good idea at all. You have more than I do!

Yep, that new shape to the locator has grown on me, and I really like it.
