I like it, really different.

I like the looks and would be tempted to build one, maybe even a couple, with the gray glass. However, if I am laying out money for a a nice bow the wood veneer under clear glass (even with the poor quality glass available) would definitely get the nod. I just prefer the look of wood. There should be a nich market for them though.

Very nice indeed Chad.

I think it looks great...with Ebony in the riser it is stunning!

Not a huge fan of the grey as one of my favorite things about traditional bows is the woods that are used so that you have that awesome grain under the clear glass. That said, the work is top notch and very clean! I may change my mind if you send one my way and I could hold it in my hands and further evaluate the grey accent. :D Nice Work!

Not sure if it is "Gray" or "Grey" LOL.

Ron, I could do a River Runner in Gray but in my mind the grey looks better on the narrow limbs of the longbow.

Thanks for the comments guys. It is fun to build something different once in a while. Chad

I love the look...and with the right wood combo, I would order a bow with it. It would have to be the right wood combo for me though.

Great lookin bows Chad!

I gotta tell ya'll, that gray glass bow with cocobolo riser jumped off Chad's rack. Then I shot it, smooth as butter. I'll get a picture to post of it...absolutely beautiful! I had anther gray glass bow before...HH with ebony riser and tips. The gray glass is stunning and very functional color for hunting...tippit

Chad, your bows are excellent for sure. The gray glass is definitely an eye catcher, maybe not for me but it does stand out.

i like the gray in the riser and on the tips.I dont like the gray back or on the belly at all.The other too bows in the picture look alot better to me.But on the other hand its nice to have options.

Can't say I like the gray but that Cedar is awesome.

Chad,
That gray was cool at Denton. Glad to hear that Jeff got it. I do think he likes the colored glass as I know he has a very sharp Stewart with black/brown glass. I am a colored glass guy myself. Clear is nice but only if it doesn't streak.

Take care buddy,
Craig

I like brown or black glass better. The gray reminds me of a primer job that hasnt been finished yet. Nice bow, just not what I would pick for myself.

I would prefer the clear over a nice veneer although iI kinda like Green glass with a nice contrasting wood riser.

Steve Turay (Northern Mist) told me that the guys who typically prefer the colored glass on their bows tend to be older guys who remember the bows we used to shoot back in the 60s and 70s (I am one of those older guys :D ). He said younger guys tend to look them over then order clear glass on their limbs--do you find that to be the case as well, Chad?

Cyclic-Rivers · « **Reply #37 on:** January 03, 2012, 07:37:00 PM »

I am not sure how I feel about it. I like colored glass but would have to see it in person before placing an order. Since I dont order new bows ever, well I wouldn't have to worry about it.

I wish i had more time to spend at Denton looking at booths. I found out they have a closing time

I wonder how it would look with thin snake skins on it? you think it would bring out the patterns better?

Bernie B. · « **Reply #38 on:** January 03, 2012, 08:15:00 PM »

You make awesome bows, but I personally wouldn't choose the gray. I agree that it looks a little like primer and would be a little leery using it on the ground. For a target bow, it definitely would get a lot of looks! I was very impressed with the quality of your bows when I saw them in Waterloo, Ia. last spring!
