I have a 29" draw like Rob. My 58" Expedition has no stack whatsoever and is a real shooter!

Dang Rob you're making me crazy. First DannyBows asks me if my Bama TD Hunter is done and describes the Elite he's getting. Now you post pics of yours. I was a rock, I wasn't going to ask Nate how much longer didn't want to bug him. Well I had to email him and find out, about 3 more weeks.                                      That Hunter you just got is sweeeet! I went for the curly maple as well with boo limbs and bocote overlay and tips @ 64". Hope I don't go insane waiting. I love to here that it's sooo smooth. DannyBows and Mudd have told me how nice they shoot. Enjoy!!!!

Whenever I reach for a bow to shoot it always seems to be my Bama Hunter. I just can't shoot it enough. I also have the dark stained curly maple.

Congrats on the new bow.

Sheesh Rob, you've let out the secret. Now everyone will want one!   :biglaugh:  

I love my Elite. It has ligher brown stained tiger maple riser and reddish brown stained bamboo limbs.  Nate's matte finish is one of the best in the business, no reflection at all but still still highlights the wood beautifully.

Oh yeah, it shoots good too and is exceedingly quiet with a very user friendly grip.

Nice looking bow
The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.

I can't put my Royal down. I just keep it hanging by the target now. It's good to see so many recognizing Nate's work now.

I want a takedown Royal real bad. Especially with Nate's new carbon system. No more metal.

If you think the Hunters are fast you try a Bama Royal with the 6 lams on the limbs!

Rob, I just started shooting longer, D-Shape bows last year. My Bama was my first. I knew it was an excellent shooter and so much fun to shoot. The workmanship is top-notch also, but I didn't know how it compared to others. It's excellent to have a review from someone that is very knowledgeable and experienced with many different bows of this style. You've saved me a ton of money buying and selling to find out.

I'll be putting my money into more Bamas! Thanks!  :thumbsup:
