Gary Hall talked me into going on the Bear Quest hunt this year (it didn't take much talking) and I decided I needed a new bow for the event. I've been wanting one with green glass and wanting to make a reverse handle longbow, so this is what I came up with. Green on the back, gray on the belly, actionboo lams, and bubinga riser. It's 68" and 57# @ 28".

So, do you think it will kill a bear?

I wrote B.Q. X on the bow since this will be Bear Quest 10 coming up.

Nice- that's a good looking bow! No doubt it's a bear killer...

Nice bow! I should get the job done

Thanks for the compliments Guys.

Rob - It's some of the new stuff from OMC and is a shade darker than the old stuff I got from you a few years ago.

Looks great John. Like that green and grey glass with bubinga. Very nice. What kind of taper are you using now on your ASL's?

jsweka · « **Reply #12 on:** January 03, 2016, 10:58:00 PM »

Ben - 0.005 total taper with 1 1/8" width at the fadeouts and then narrowing to 1/2" at the nocks.

Very nice John, I would really like to get my hands on that if we can cross paths at one of the shoots this year!

Sweet John. That will work for a stuffed teddy bear maybe..

How do you like the reverse handle John? I like the looks of it

David Flanrey · « **Reply #19 on:** January 04, 2016, 11:03:00 AM »

I like this one for sure! Not usually a fan of the reverse handle but I really like the looks of this one.
