This is one just like your picture Mike!  Shoots very nice!  No hand shock, smooth as silk, and very quiet too!  Molson shot this bow also and feels the same way.  I thought it was 55 lbs at my 29.5" draw length since it is very smooth drawing.  At my draw it should be about 64 to 65 lbs but does not feel a pound over 55!!!  Very impressive bow.  Can you make one with clear glass so I can see the bamboo?   :D

Great looking, but all the bow you and Jason craft are great looking and great shooting. I'm drooling all over my keyboard.  :help:

Hey Mike & Jason-    :notworthy:  

Looks Great!  I hope you're going to bring a couple of these to Compton's?

OK,here's a report after field testing my new Orion.I have the lefty on pg 1.First impression after opening the package,it's a beautiful bow.Jason,you did a great job blending the 2 woods.Bacote riser w cocobola swoop,overlay on the back of the riser,tip overlays and limb wedges.

 The limbs are perfectly aligned,something you expect in a new bow,but believe me,you don't always get.

 I was a little leery of a 58" LB,but arrow flight is perfect with CX 150 Heritages cut to 29.25.It's got excellent speed and is quiet to boot.Very smooth with no handshock.

 Let me qualify this by saying I've been making bows for about 15 yrs.and have bought and sold probably 30 customs in the last 5 yrs.This one is as good as any I've bought,and better than most.
 
 Jason and Mike,you've got a winner here.
