And that is why I will never attempt to build a bow. Too much work. These guys are talented for sure. It is a beautiful bow and helping build it adds to the mojo.
Custom bows are not cheap but this shows why they are worth every penny.

Yes sir, and you've helped show why with this great build-along thread Ryan.

Thank you for taking the time to show the pains a bowyer goes through for their product and customers. I look forward to future posts of yours about this bow and the hunts you'll share.

I'm sure South is just as happy with your input as you to have been in being able to provide it.

Excellent thread!

you made a great report Ryan,thanks so much for taking us along and sharing all those pics.
I see one of his static in my near future,it is since the CSTS High Country Shot in Colorado that I am figuring out what I need.

Ryan, the only way that bow will look better is beside one of those Island Oinkers!!!

Great thread, not sure how I missed it. Your bow is going to be beautiful! Thanks for the build along.

Thank you Mark! and yes mojo for sure!!!

I appreciate the kind words Bud! That's one of the many great things about South, he definitely values his customer's input.

You're more than welcome Felix! Take care and keep in touch!

Ed, I agree with you 100%!!!!

Thanks Tod, I'll be sure to post pics once the final coat dries.

Hey Ryan, if your Stalker caps don't show up let me know. I have a couple around here I can loan you

I'd offer some t-shirts too but they would be a tad too large for you.

The pics are awesome. I think a trip to South's is on my bucket list now! I love my stalker, but there is only one bad thing. I keep getting in trouble shooting it and not helping out the wife:)

Ryan, broke in my new-to-me Stalker Longbow Saturday. Picked up the Hope bow South made. Your thread got me fired up. I tuned some arras up and hunted with it for like 5 minutes before I got a shot

Great thread! Enjoyed it very much!

Razorbak · « **Reply #112 on:** October 08, 2012, 07:29:00 PM »

I think I need a stalker cap and then a stalker shirt but most of all a STALKER bow..thats been weighing heavily on my mind since Ryan posted this imformative thread..I have read it and looked at pics honestly 50 times so far...arrgh Ryan why you have to do that...LOL plus when I shot Bill C. stalker longbow..I loved it especially with his endless on it..so QUIET and quick..cant decide which one I want..longbow limbs or the static limbs...Dang Ryan..you causing me restless nights now...LOL

Ryan Sanpei · « **Reply #113 on:** October 09, 2012, 03:10:00 AM »

That's awesome Mike! I just saw your story. Good going! I sent you a pm. Take care bro!

Sorry Art!

Endless string? What type of end serving did it have?

Razorbak · « **Reply #114 on:** October 09, 2012, 02:14:00 PM »

Ryan it was a ts1 skinny string with old school nylon and beefed up halo with small and I mean small wool puffs and that was so quiet like a Flemish string. Bill C would know. I like Flemish myself and I might make a endless out of 8190 for my current longbow. Another sleepless night thanks to you. Lol. Thanks buddy

Ryan Sanpei · « **Reply #116 on:** October 10, 2012, 01:39:00 AM »

LOL Art! I know the feeling of sleepless nights....
Thanks for the info on the string. Let me know how the experiment with the endless goes.

Thanks for the kind words Scott! The final coat goes on tomorrow. It's just a matter of time...

Hey Ryan, just go ahead and post those pics of that new beauty, ain't like I'm jealous or nuttin' already, lol.

Besides I'm not sleeping either but I ALMOST caught a few winks last nite and I need something to keep me awake so I don't slip up.

Bivyhunter · « **Reply #118 on:** October 13, 2012, 09:02:00 PM »

I'll get some pics up, hopefully tomorrow, as I box it up for shipping. Ryan's draw weight is just about right at my length....maybe it won't make it to Hawaii.....
