I got to order myself a bow for Christmas and after talking with several different bowyers decided to get one of Mike Ballenger's bows. After chatting with him for awhile I followed his recommendation for his Short Night. Mike is a great guy and will answer all your questions and give all the time you need to make your decision.
I have not had a chance to shoot it extensively, but I will share my initial thoughts. The fit and finish are spectacular. Mike was able to take what I wanted and make a beautiful bow. The draw is smooth and the bow is fast. I didn't notice any hand shock and the grip is quite comfortable. Now what everyone cares about: specs and pics.
The bow is 62". 51# @ 29" (I asked for 50 @ 29, so he did well in my opinion). Limbs are 4 lams of eastern red cedar. The riser is cherry and walnut with an accent stripe of osage. The overlays are osage, and I believe cocobolo. All topped off with a string ray grip wrap. Enjoy!
Got a few more...
