I just got in from shooting mine, and it is Deadly quiet. You'll be happy when yours arrives.

I took mine with me to hook up with some friends for a day of shooting and I didn't hear even one negative comment about my Bama bow.

I am giving serious consideration to giving up all of my non-Hill style bows. At least then if I want to shoot several different bows they'll all have design in common.

God bless,Mudd

I like R/D bows but also like Hill style bows, looks like Im goin in the direction of Hill style bows for the time being! If I love my Bama enough I'll just get a lighter and heavier version! That way I'll have like a #40, a #53, and prolly a #65-70.

Thanks for starting this thread. I have been trying to decide on my next bow and have been visiting Bama Bow website a lot. It looks like the decision has been made. That stained curley maple is beautiful!

For those of you that are apprehensive about buying a Bama Bow. I just have this to say.
I would compare Nates bows with any of the bigger names that I have owned including HH. Nate builds a superior product and should be charging far more than what he does. One day when his name gets bigger his prices will have to go up as all the big boys do. If you wait, you'll wish you hadn't.
If your really looking buy one now You won't regret it!

Harold,

Actually, Nathan has gone up a little already. He used to sell the Hunter for onlt $279!!!! Can you believe it? Great bow at an incredible price.

I suggest we flood him with orders until he is a year out like the big boys. Buy 'em while they are cheap!

This thread prompted me to pull my Hunter out the other evening. I'm ashamed to say I had ignored her for awhile as I've been distracted with my Big Jim's and Ambush Bow. I've been shooting her in the dark, with a flaslight pointed at my target. I'm starting to get used to shooting in the dark and it's helping me to concentrate on my spot, and anchor. I have a bad habit of flicking my vision back and forth between the arrow point and my spot. Shooting in the dark eliminates that. Anyway, I had forgoten how incredibly quiet the Hunter is, and I love quiet! I'm off tomorrow and will get to shoot her in daylight. I'm going to try her with some heavier arrows than I usually shoot.

How much are they now Matt? I have two new guys that were shooting mine on Monday and asked me if I would find out.

Thanks in advance!

Mudd: They are $389 plus a $17 shipping charge so it winds up being $406...not bad at all

I talked to Nathan and he said he had to raise prices because woods went up, so obviously he still wants to make them for the right price!

That's still great pricing, especially considering the outstanding quality. Even if you add $150 for the 2pc option, and I love mine, it still puts you at, or even below the starting point for most bows. The sleeve system he uses on his take-downs is great. It's fit perfectly and rock solid. Nate said it adds just a little weight to the riser and helps reduce the already low amount of shock/vibration. I picked-up some thick felt at Wally World and made a basic case that works well. Sure does make toting a long bow around a breeze. A 1pc just couldn't work for me.

Matt,for the amount of lumber you need in a bow I'm surprised he didn't charge you double! Danny that is one nice looking bow.I really like the profile,it looks like it stores some power.

I love my Bama.  Always been a recurve guy and this was my first longbow.  Felt so comfortable with it this year that I used it as my primary for my elk hunt and killed a big bull with it ...Shawn
