My New Mail Order Bride Has Arrived, and She's HOT! (Bamabow)
« on: July 02, 2012, 03:26:00 PM »
After weeks of almost unbearable waiting, Nate Steele of Bamabows contacted me to let me know my bow was ready to ship. Unfortunately, it arrived the day after I left for a week vacation.  

But, I finally got home yesterday and ran in the house to unpack her. She's pretty. This is my first serious endeavor into the traditional world, but I know enough to know that this is a great bow.

The specs:

Bamabow "Hunter" model, curly maple riser and accents, bamboo and glass lams, 66" AMO, 53# @ 28".

The photos:

   

   

   

   

   


Despite the 106 degree heat yesterday, I, of course, had to go out and shoot it. Untuned, it was flinging darts. Once I get as good as the bow, the deer will be leaping into my freezer.     :bigsmyl:  

In summary, I'm very pleased with the bow. Nate made exactly what I wanted. I'm a simple guy and I wanted my bow to match. I didn't get crazy with a lot of different woods, but I really love how this turned out. The arrows and quiver I made myself.

Congrats.  That's one beautiful bow.  I think I'm about to fall off the wagon ... AGAIN!


Can I see a picture of the bow unstrung?

You have a very nice set-up there. Nate is great to work with. I was in his shop two weeks ago and between that and seeing the new Bamas showing up in threads has got me planning my next build. Let us know how your season goes this fall and enjoy your new bow.

Yep. This is the best I could do. It's hard to get a good close up of something as long as a longbow.

If it shoots as good as it looks you will be very happy.

Beautiful, and I am glad it's everything you wanted. Mates stained curly maple is unmatched In  beauty. And those specs are great.

Beautiful bow, I have had 2 of Nates bows, and one in the mail on the way, and they were both shooters.

He does great work.

This is a real nice bow.

Enjoy

Thanks everyone. Today, I've been going out and shooting a few arrows every now and then. I'm trying to get my form down before I put too much effort into tuning. The arrows seem to be flying very well though, so hopefully I won't need to do much fine tuning.

Well Done Scott! She's a beauty. I've gotta say, for a guy that is just getting into Trad Archery, you sure do have some excellent gear! I like that quiver, nice work.

Congrats on the bow. I just got home from the range, guess what I was shooting today? Yes, a Bama Hunter.

I have my beautiful and wonderful wife to thank for the bow. I caught the traditional bug a while back and she got me this for Father's Day. I'm a lucky man.

Thanks! I'm 35 and I got my first real bow (Pearson compound) when I was eight. I've been fletching arrows almost that long. But, this was my first attempt at splicing feathers. They turned out fairly well, but it was a learning experience, and I think I'll do the colors a little differently when I refletch.

Wow!  I like the looks of that bow!  That curly maple is awesome!  You'll have to be careful not to set the bow down when you're hunting, or you won't find it again.  By the way, you make a great looking quiver!     :thumbsup:
