It is paint and I could`nt tell you if it will come off or not. It was a tad shiny and it was made for killing.RC

I stuck a doe Friday evening with my Redman. Unfortunately my phone battery was dead so no pics. Heading back in the morning to see if I can do it again.

Boy, it is a miracle that between RC and Pat there are any animals left for the rest of us to hunt!

Nice buck RC.

Bob.

I love that sentiment. Made me laugh. And if was made for killing, it appears to have been made well....

Dave has told me that he feels the split bamboo is the sweetest shooting bow he makes. I really agonized over a choice between the Hawk or the Expedition - must have changed my mind 20 times while I waited form my spot on the list to come up! Lol

What sold you on the split bamboo?

My next Miller is likely to be an all natural bamboo and yew - I love how they look!

Dave himself sold me on the split. He said if you had both versions at the same specs side by side, you probably would not be able to tell which one was which by looking at them. And most people couldn't tell the difference shooting them at the lower draw weights (under 70-80#). They are both smooth being made from bamboo and being tillered the same. The CCCV bow would have a very slight performance edge over the flat laminations at my 55# draw weight, but if I wanted the last drop of performance, I wouldn't be looking at an all wood/boo bow. He said that things do change at higher draw weights, you see a little more delta in the performance. He also thought there was a touch more stability in the CCCV design, allowing Howard to keep the heavier weight bows thinner compared to a split.

So he basically had me convinced that I probably couldn't tell the difference at 55# and that he'd recommend I go with the split bamboo and keep the extra money for another bow down the road. Who am I to argue with the man on this point?

Nice Dave! You're gonna love that bow!

How long is the wait time for a Miller bow now! He was over a year when I took delivery of my Expedition in the Spring...

Love that pic of you and your son Chris.

There is so much that goes on in this thread with its' contributors and new bows, quivers, etc. we need a smiley that says Congrats, Great Job on the order, Good Luck, and Enjoy the Hedoubletoothpicks out of it! :D

Ross - not sure. I had originally sent in a partial deposit to take his bow-making class. (If you go back far enough in the first thread, you can see my excitement about it.) But some deaths in my wife's family postponed it, followed by furloughs and other things that have made it all but impossible to reschedule anytime soon. That and it became a constant source of friction on the homefront. So I called Dave and we decided to use that deposit to make a bow instead.

I didn't ask for a delivery estimate -- I told him there was no rush. But he's had my money since January and said he thought that was too long so he'd work me in sooner than later. So, I don't know if I'll get the bow in a month or two or sometime next year.
