IT'S HERE, IT'S HERE!!!!!!  My new Echo, Dad's Bow, is here!!  What a gorgeous bow!!  Chuck, it is perfection, exactly what I had envisioned!!  Thank you so very much for what will be an heirloom in my family.  Sorry for hijacking your thread.

Chuck did an unbelievable job on this bow.  It is very simple, understated, and elegant.  It is absolutely stunning.  I have been practicing with and planning to hunt with my Two Tracks Longwalker.  Not anymore.  Out of the tube, I shot my Echo like I'd been shooting it for years.  Even without the supplied Two Tracks string silencers, it is the ultimate in quiet, and light as a feather.  I've only got to shoot it maybe a dozen times (I'm doing housework while the boss lady cleans the barn, company coming today), all wandering through the yard with a judo point.  I'm good out to 25 yards.  

66" 56@28, black walnut limbs under brown glass, birdseye maple riser with brown leather grip.  I have fairly big hands but love a small grip.  Chuck nailed it, the grip just melts in my hand.

Love that Bird's Eye! Your Dad had some fine taste in wood. You share that good taste in bows.

Very Nice. Good on both of you.

Man o man.  That looks fantastic.  To know the history of the woods used makes it even more beautiful to look at.
I'm very happy for you.

Phil, I just got in from some deer hunting at a friends camp in Northern MI. No deer taken but plenty were seen along with Bear, Coyote, Turkey, Porkie's and plenty more. Great time spent with great friends.
I am so happy you are pleased with the bow. This has been one of my favorite builds to date and to know the bow fits and is appreciated is just icing.
Give a call this week sometime and lets chat. Enjoy your bow.
