My new FIREFLY (Route 66)

I went with Jims new Route 66 (low wrist) version. I asked Jim to build the riser of charcoal dymondwood for mass weight, and to go with stained quilted maple to blend in with my michigan hardwoods while hunting... All I can say is this Firefly shoots as good as it looks...Jim makes one heck of a bow!

the limbs are stained a charcoal gray...the bow is a 60" 47@28"...It will blend in great with the winter north woods for sure..Awesome low grip...with some palm swell and a slight thumb rest..very very comfortable, smooth, and snappy quick... Drew and I stopped by Jims shop today to pick it up... I'm very happy to be part of the firefly family.

Steve,
That's a nice bow for sure. Jim is a very talented bowyer, a super nice guy and good friend. Thanks for stopping by to visit and show it to me while you & Drew were in the area this afternoon. It was great to see you guys again. I'll see you in October.

Very nice bow. I have been part of the Firefly family for a couple of weeks and love it. Very stable, quiet, accurate, and extremely fine craftsmanship. When I get a chance, I'll take some photos to post.

Really nice looking bow! Love the charcoal dymondwood and it looks fantastic next to the stained maple. You done good!

Great looking bow! I may have to try a FIREFLY one of these days. Good luck putting meat on the table with it this fall.

Very nice. I would like to shoot one of the low wrist grips as I favor them more. I shot a Firefly at Braveheart Archery and would not hesitate to recomend them to anyone. Flint

Flint.... this bow flat out shoots...If you favor a low wrist and want a take down i'd recommend big time...the pic is a bit decieving because the riser looks larger than it is... Jims low wrist is perfect... i couldnt be happier with the craftsmanship and how this bow performs.
