Kirk,
      Thank you so much for the offer of trying out your design. I am honored, but, I will not be able to accept due to an ongoing investigation, I will only be stateside for a short period for a criminal trial in DC. I will probably have some time off in April 2013. It looks like Doc Nock is more than willing. Thank you again. Bill

Kirk, I really like the profile of the limbs as they bend.

Sounds like the orders are starting to come in on this and his other bows!

Avoid the rush and get an order in... 6 months will fly by and you'll have fun after it's placed going thru details on cosmetics and such... I know I did.

First it's "Stitching".... then i'm accused of painting the dots on those risers by brutha Steve..... and Doc attributes it to my "autistic" nature   :eek:  

You guys really know how to flatter an old carpenter here....

This is the one that Doc didn't like.... I thought it came out looking kinda cool myself. This was a tough one to pull off doing an overlay back over the G-10 I beam.... That and Mark shoots long distance with this bow and wanted a taller sight window. That's why you see the I-beam at the bottom of the shelf peeking out.

Sweet....yeah, Kirk, we're a "tough crowd to play to!"

I didn't say I didn't LIKE IT, I just said it didn't flip my trigger like 99% of your work. Visually, it looked a lot more RED than that in the early pics I saw... the Mexican Rosewood (?) and the Mexican style look of the redish mosaics...

To be honest, if I knew you could cover up the black G-10, on the riser window...I'd have given that more serious consideration... that is pretty awesome looking...

Bottom line for me in making my decision to go with a Bigfoot was the performance factors and your desire to study and address my personal grip issues...

...what I found in the process, after making my deposit and during my wait time, was your true artistry with wood and combinations that just make the varied woods work together so well and "sing a song!"

I am really intrigued by your new "shortie" bows, but could not be happier with the Sassy Lady I now have! Stellar looks and outstanding performance--and it fits my odd shooting style and grip!

Excellent job Bro Kirk. and here I thought I was the only one ever done that. Perfect alignment and just looks great. I noticed the G10 going up into the window and thought that was kind of cool but didn't hit mewhat you had done. LOL

I like the way you capped the ned of that riser. but what you doing hiding all that pretty black phenolic?

God bless and Merry Christmas.
Man I love everything about those bows. Just fantastic.You really got it going on with all them curves. No full blooded male should be able to resist them. Some will probably start sleeping with their bows.

Ryan,

Get that deposit in and you'll likely have it before the 4th of July celebration!

I don't usually have great luck, but I did when I got the bocote block I did!  Timing is everything after all!

An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward.So when life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means that it's going to launch you into something great.

What is G 10? Is it a kind of phenolic?

G 10 is a commercial phenolic that is composed of fiberglass cloth and epoxy resin instead of linin and poly resin or paper and poly resin. It is extremely strong and basicaly a solid piece of glass. It is a killer of bandsaw blades and usually you get one riser per band saw blade if lucky; Its a major step toward building an indestructable riser. It really speaks to the commitment of the bowyer that uses it towards building an heirloom type of bow .

God bless and Merry Christmas.

I'd bet if you are judging a book the book its cover you'd pick the wrong one bro... I'd say the center block will provide the wildest grain pattern on a finished riser....

believe it or not, you can alter the way these come out with very slight shape changes in the grip shape..... it's like peeling an onion in a way.... take a good look at the edge grain on the center block.... that tells the story more so than the flat grain does.

Does that G 10 material have a grain like linen phenolic? And can it be made into a solid riser? Do you think a riser could be cut further past center using it?
thanks,
Chris.
