Nice looking bow. Bill builds a great bow. Thinking about ordering another myself... thats quite a wait though.

Two years,  that would definitely give me time to pay it off.

Very nice Danny! The "Quest" is on my list to own/shoot. Sure hear and read good things about the Brack bows, and  they rarely come up for sale. That says a lot about them.

Very pretty bow. I bet that Wenge looks awesome up close.


Danny, Have you ever shot his Deflexed riser Quest? Also I know you shot his Peerless model; why didn't you go with that model? You can PM your answer to me if you want.


I have the same Zebra limb veneer on my Quest....I love it.  Bill has one of the best grips out there.

Beauty of a bow Danny! I may have to knock Ray off to get to the top of the list for this one. I figured you were up to something since I haven't seen a new bow in your arsenal in ,say, a week!

Danny,

That is a beautiful bow made using Bill's favorite wood -- zebrawood. The figure in the riser and the cathedral cut grain in the limb veneers are outstanding. It looks like zebrawood is your favorite too. That wenge is an especially nice looking piece of wood and is perfect with the zebrawood. I have 7 Quests, 2 Non-Typicals, and a Peerless, all of which Bill Howland designed and built, and another 8 of Jim Brackenbury's original designs. Bill Howland is the most meticulous bowyer I know, and the bows he designed and built shoot as well as or better than any other bow I have ever shot. Quiet, smooth, accurate -- it just doesn't get any better. There are other bows I own that I prefer for some purposes, but for shooting excellence and being the closest to construction perfection, Bill's bows take the prize. I didn't think a bow, even a Brackenbury, could get any better than the Quest and Non-Typical, but the Peerless lives up to its name in my books. I know you like Quests better, and I can understand why for some folks they would be. What's not to love about them? That's why I have 7. You got one of the best looking Quests I have seen, and I'm sure it shoots as good as it looks. Congratulations on finally getting it after a VERY long wait. Getting a bow from Bill these days is like winning the lottery. My Peerless took two and a half years from the time I ordered it until the time it was delivered. But it was worth waiting for.

We have to get together after missing each other repeatedly over the last year. And Donald needs to be there too!

Take care,

Allan,

You are correct, we do need to get together.

I will be in Texas 1-30 Nov so maybe we can hook up. I have three hunts booked, but have a week or so clear in the middle of the month,14-20 so maybe we can get something together, not sure of Don's work scedule but hopefully we can come up to OK or something.
