Thanks for the kind words guys.  In case you didn't notice this ones "in stock" so you can have it for the $50 below the custom order.  Only $700 plus shipping.

We started doing the horn on the SoothSayers because customers started asking for it.  All I can say is WOW.  Gotta talk Blacky into testing one of these babies.  One thing I know from shooting it.  Smooth and very fast.

I'm EXTREMELY glad this bow isn't 3-4# lighter!!  I'm out of places to hide a new bow in the house and my very understanding wife might cease to be so!  :D
That bow is drop dead gorgeous!!

I normally don't care a thing for non-fiberglass bows...other than to look at...but this one not only looks gorgeous, I'll bet it leaves vapor trails! Beautiful bow Mike, wish I wasn't so hunting trip poor   :knothead:

Wow! Thank God it's right-handed or I could be in a lot of trouble with the wife. Beautiful bow.

pretty bow Mike. Hey, i'm finally getting started on that second glue-up i got from you and had a question--will it screw anything up if i want to leave the rind on the bamboo back ? this one's pretty dark and i think it'd be good natural camo, just wondering if it'll take the finish and be moisture resistant enough

Joel,

Actually we have changed to leaving it also.  We just sand it lightly to remove the shine and apply the finish.  Works great and keeps the natural camo beauty of the bamboo.

Wow.   There are so many beautiful bows on here and yet another comes along that blows me away.  Very cool.

Mike how short NTN do you recommend when making these at say ~60# and 28"?
