That's the exact one I was going to order, but with bison horn tips with red phenolic under it.  I just bought a used one here, I hope I hate it or I'll be giving Nate a call and explaining to my wife!!

The Expedition Hunter Nate is working on now will be a 62" 2 pc, 45@28, Cocobolo riser with 3 lams of Boo, and Brown Glass, with a brown Beaver Tail grip. Nate is doing the grip different on this one; a narrower throat with more palm swell to raise the wrist some.

I'm making up a dozen Quillian Supercedars for it.

Most bowyers balk when you say heavy, and when you say 100 they get all nervous, not Nate he's like I thought you wanted a heavy one. I am with you Nate new heavy shooters keep appearing, time to break the 50lb is all you need trend, lets shoot heavy bows even if some of us have to workout to do it, time to get off the couch and get those fingers sore LOL!!

Oh Frank, not all of us are freakishly strong like you!

The most important part is that we are having fun.

In my humble opinion though archery is such a great opportunity to work on our fitness and overall strength.

As a matter of fact the ancient koreans used it specifically for this, and often times did not care where the arrow was placed on a target.

But the goal was to work both sides and attain balance.

The ancient Turks documented that archery training was to start young, and never let an arrow be loosed until after a year or so of training.....pulling the bow and holding, pulling the bow and holding....not sure how long I would last doing that.

HH was under the impression that if you wanted a faster flatter arrow, you pulled a bigger bow.

The great Marlon Torres is always strength training with this in mind. As we all know he pulls some ungodly bows.

Im glad yall are enjoying the bows. Ive been looking for a used longbow for a couple weeks and almost found a Lonetree awhile back.  LOL   :D   It was too heavy for me though realistically. I can only shoot a bow in the 40-50 pound range. Maybe I can find a used one in that range I can afford soon. Hope to see some more pics soon. I love seein some good lookin bows

BOHO..
You should talk to Nate at BAMAbows.

Do not quote me on this, but I think at one time he was thinking about putting together some economy bows. And I know they would be great shooters.

BOHO, I think I found the Lone Tree you were looking for. It's a real nice bow and shoots great. Joe, I did not know you could pull a 100# bow. That's awesome. I don't think I could have done that 20 years ago when I was in shape. I envy you guys that can pull that weight but I can still kill some varmints with my bows. Congrats on a fine bow. Philip

I may be freakish Joe, but sure not freakish strong. My dad always made me work at a very young age, and I had a bad case of little man syndrome which caused me to train. Sure never woke up strong one day. LOL!! Joe you are a humble man, I sent Joe my 112# whisperstick and he draws it to 28'with good form, this is a tough bow, sense it is a 62" recurve, but not for a gorilla man.    :bigsmyl:
