Ok, I realize most folks wait until they actually have their bow in hand to post pics; however, since I have a bit of time and since Sixby sent me some pics and since I'm as excited as a kid in an archery shop...I'm going to jump the gun a little. The bow will ship in a few days.

This bow has a phenolic I-beam in the riser. The woods are cocobolo and gaboon ebony. Belly lams are cocobolo and it is backed with diamondback skins. It is 62" long and 69@28. I'll post more when I get the bow in hand and have had a chance to fling a few arrows.

Hi Burnsie,

62" long

69@28

riser has an internal phenolic I-beam flanked by cocobolo and a gaboon ebony beauty fang

limbs (back to belly) are diamondback skins, carbon, actionboo cores, cocobolo, clear glass

Steve (Sixby) had me send a sketch of the grip I wanted as well as a tracing of my hand. I haven't gotten my paws on it yet, but it looks like he nailed it perfectly. He is a great guy to work with and is concerned with building exactly what is wanted, and building it very well. I ordered the bow about 3 months ago.

That is one of the finest looking bows that I have ever seen! You've out done yourself Steve, and that is getting much harder to do.

Man that is very very pretty. Goodness Gracious!!!

So how is it possible to conceal the mounting bolts so much?

Andy Cooper · « **Reply #8 on:** January 13, 2011, 12:27:00 PM »

I think he put some skin on the face of the bolts, but haven't seen it in person, yet, to know for sure.

RLA · « **Reply #9 on:** January 13, 2011, 12:29:00 PM »

Joe vt I was thinking the same thing? If you look real close you will see them! They are recessed and the snake skin is on the bolt too.
Sure is one sharp bow!

Andy Cooper · « **Reply #10 on:** January 13, 2011, 12:45:00 PM »

Here's a close up of the bolts.

bucksaw · « **Reply #16 on:** January 13, 2011, 03:02:00 PM »

That's a beauty

michbowhunter · « **Reply #17 on:** January 13, 2011, 03:07:00 PM »

That is a nice one for sure!!! Great job Steve!

Sixby is very talented!!

Blake Dustin Adams · « **Reply #19 on:** January 13, 2011, 03:21:00 PM »

Ahhhhhhhh! I just sent Steve a deposit for a recurve and now it will be even harder to wait. Makes my mind easier though on the thought that I should have waited until later in the year and just bought some ski or snowboard stuff now since I'm in Germany.
