New Habu Vyperkahn arrived yesterday!!!
« on: June 09, 2013, 11:47:00 AM »
Well after a long wait my VK is here. As promised I will get some pics up on here, with a little help.....

I got Chris to make me LB an his new recurve limbs.

Bow is absolutely beautiful - the riser is Macassar Ebony as is the LB limbs. The RC limbs are bocote.

64" 48@30 LB
62" 47@30 RC

I really have not had time to test this bow out yet so MUCH more to come - promise a good review.

beautiful bow but I would get rid of that bear weather rest and shoot it off the shelf.  You will get amazing arrow flight with this bow shooting off the rest.

Great looking bow.  Do you regularly use an elevated rest?

Man what a beauty Mike. My name should be up soon. I'm getting one with the recurve limbs. Chris said the new recurve limbs are really special. Let me know what you think of them.

Kirk, Wow! That looks just like an Eagle Wing riser.... Good looking bow. Congrats.... [clapper] [clapper]

I know you mean well bro and that is a beautiful bow but lots of difference. I will be sending Mikes new bow out to him this next week. Perhaps he can do side by sides.

God bless, Steve

Chris has built Macassar risers in the past and is merely offered based on availability.

Beautiful bow...Congrats!!!

Great looking bow....wish they would quit using the BOLD white logo on the riser though...I know it's their trademark but to me it downgrades a otherwise work of art....

Beautiful bow, i have the all Bocote longbow, awsome bows. However i do agree about the white lettering, i am suprised Chris would do that, even black would be better. You will really like the bow, good luck with it.
