Well i kinda got tied up doing a bunch of testing on some bows. Sorry i couldn't have jumped in sooner to help you with the photos.....But... it looks like brutha Thom jumped in to help you out.

I gotta say one thing... i took 84 pictures of this bow with two different light settings and these high gloss bows are tough to shoot with a camera and do the bow any justice..

I've still got to do some uploading to the bucket here myself but here she is with the limbs mounted and strung for the first time...

Kirk,

Back in the day...

I learned to either shoot light through cloudy plastic to diffuse it, or bounce it off of while cardboard... you'll never get good gloss pics head on with light.

But you probably know that!

That riser is stunning to say the least... and I second the notion that you might just love the looks, till you start to shoot it and dial in the arrows...then your focus will surely change from looks to the performance, dead in hand, and how it harnesses ALL the stored energy driving it into the arrow flight and not your body!

Mine did!

Kirk has it all going on!

Always glad to help out, especially if it means stalking around photobucket and seeing what the mad scientist has been up too! Congrats to you both, that is a beauty!

(And yes, I do think a pair of Limb Savers are in your future!)

Waiting waiting
Checking the USPS
Driving my wife nuts
Oh here's another pic

It seems every time we get a thread going like this someone asks me how i piy these belly ramp caps on the riser. So i thought I'd show you a clamping jig here and how they go together....

Btw... This is Black walnut on the belly ramp caps on this one, with black glass accents.

After getting the wood strips and accents all fitting good i use epoxy to glue it all together.

This is how she comes out.

Kirk will do almost anything to hide an I beam \\. I love the bed liner pads. I have to go get me some of those. God bless, Steve

Ahhh, yes...sleepless nights and long, long days---waiting! :( Got the T-shirt!

Several were shipped back East here at the same time as mine, and of course, mine was delivered LAST!

Very nice bow.

petalumapete · « **Reply #51 on:** January 08, 2013, 01:26:00 PM »

Well got a little more sleep
The bow is scheduled to be here tomorrow
Told the wife I'm taking tomorrow off work
Can't wait to string that baby up and put some shooting time in

This is Kirks first shots

Doc Nock · « **Reply #52 on:** January 08, 2013, 02:33:00 PM »

Trusting the USPS for a actual delivery date to miss work...

:eek:

I'd rather get an emergency call to come HOME from work! LOL

Rest assured that Kirk will have put a BUNCH of arrows thru the bow before he ships it... he's anal about making sure he has a good brace for the new user and ironed out any kinks...

Very sexy lines on those limb curves...

Good he's using targets now...I remember not too long ago he shot his chordless drill! :rolleyes:

Hey Doc, I still have that trophy.

Well this fits the name of the thread to a tee here. Here is a bit of a tease for you Denis...

Look at the cat whisker string silencer and the pine tree above... i found that interesting...

Wow...Kirk...you outdid yourself!

Not much use throwing out that drill... it's been made infamous on GAng!

That is perfection right there in those pics!

I'd not want to hunt with a high gloss bow, but danged but that sure makes things "jump".

Denis, you done good, Son...you gonna be smiling for DAYS!

Beautiful work! If you're going to take the day off you might as well get some stalking practice in.....on the postman. Lol.

RLA · « **Reply #56 on:** January 08, 2013, 10:36:00 PM »

That's a Beautiful bow, enjoy it!

That is a looker! Congrats

petalumapete · « **Reply #58 on:** January 09, 2013, 03:09:00 AM »

Using that bow will be like using one of those ghost blinds. LOL
Just got home from work. Lucky it was busy I'll probably sleep tonight.
Darn I'm excited
This is the bow I've been dreaming about for quite a while. With some luck ill have it in my hands tomorrow..
If not tomorrow ill be a little cranky but it'll sure be here by thurs.

Doc Nock · « **Reply #59 on:** January 09, 2013, 09:17:00 AM »

I don't think I've ever seen a bow of Kirk's I didn't think was attractive!!

and your tales, Denis, of anxious moments just make me remember my "willies" when awaiting mine back in August I think it was...

I never thought I would allow myself to invest in a "looker" bow, because what I wanted was a workhorse.

With Kirk, I got BOTH! And it was custom fit to a grip issue I've had for YEARS and never been able to figure out or have addressed.

You will NOT be disappointed! Let the good times roll!
