A Couple of Ghosts, a Bamboo Stick, and a Backquiver - Lot's of PICS!
« on: December 20, 2009, 10:36:00 AM »
Done a little trading over the last couple of months, and thought you guy's might like to see some pics. I shot recurves for many years but was never really satisfied with my accuracy. That changed when I discovered the Hill bow, and that's pretty much all I shoot now. But I continued searching for a short bow that I could shoot well and now i've finally found them! Also picked up a super nice longbow, and the best Hill style backquiver i've ever seen! Many thanks to the guys who traded with me - excellent transactions as always with my Tradgang family! Hope you enjoy the pics!

58" GN Ghost, 62@28", Oak riser with Osage limbs.

60" GN Super Ghost, 59@28, real Osage riser, center lam and power wedge, with really nice Hickory outer lams.

Backquiver and armguard from Nate Steen at Sunset Hill - what a beauty, and the best backquiver i've ever used! Thanks for your help Nate!
   
   
The grip on that Super Ghost fits me better than any recurve grip i've ever shot, and it's the most comfortable to carry because it doesn't have that sharp edge on the outside of the grip! Both are fast, quiet, stable, and dead in the hand! The Miller is super sweet - what else can I say! Nate's backquiver is awesome! Just the right stiffness in the leather, custom fit to my arrow length, draw length, sleeve length, and chest size - fits and functions perfectly! Well there you have my latest episodes. Hope everyone has a safe, healthy, and happy holiday season!

Ken, that Miller is SWEET. I am trying to save up the money to attend David's bow building school to learn how to build those all bamboo bows ala Howard Hill and John Schulz and now David Miller. That Nate Steen backquiver is SWEET as well. I had David build me one but it needs alot of breaking in to work right. Thanks for sharing your pictures and Merry Christmas. Flint  :D

I really like the looks of your super ghost.  The back quiver is great also.  I'm in the process of searching for just the right back quiver for me.
