I never thought I would be capable of building my own glass laminate bow! Here it is, it's the 62" hybrid from Bingham, Wenge riser, action boo core, and walnut limbs. I call her "Nilgai Quest," which is a large antelope native to India and common to parts of coastal S. Texas. I've been quietly reading and researching this forum for information and used the helpful build alongs as guides. Thank goodness for this site!

Very nice. And you got it done with 3 months left in season. So when do we see picks with its first deer? Or Nilgai?

Well that is a very sweet looking bow. Now give us the money shot. Full draw pics are a must.

Very well done!!! I really like that wenge.

You sure did a much better job than I did on my first bow.
