Wow Bud, thanks for the kudos! I'm feeling guilty now that I didn't put a LH riser together to go along with the package. Hmmmm.... that's got me thinking...what about a LH'er pass around??

That's what I'm talking about!!!

I would go for a LH'er

FYI, I weighed the two handles that just came back from Steadman. One is 14 1/2 ounces, the other 15 ounces. They are both made from lighter materials (birch actionwood on one and walnut and actionwood on the other). These should be on the lighter end of the handles. I would guess Boone weighed in a couple of ounces heavier with the coco/bocote combo.

PM sent South...

How does that compare to a similar Coyote riser?

[rbcorbitt]

My two cents as well!  Had the opportunity to handle, droll over and shoot Boone at the Wild Things hunt.  Beautiful bow!  Like Bud states, the grip felt like it was made for my hand specifically!

Very smooth and quiet.  Braced up at 7 3/8" and set nock for where I typically set my bows and took it out to shot at the 3-d's that Andrew has set up for practice.

Arrows hit right where I was looking with a EFOC set up!  Really slung a arrow with plenty of penetration into the new 3-d targets!  South has a winner here!

If I had only know earlier that the bow's name was Boone - that is my mother's maiden name!

[Bivyhunter]

Hermon, I threw a Coyote riser on the scale with the same wood configuration, it was 1 pound and 1/2 ounce.

[Hermon]

Thanks so much.

Katman had to leave town and passed Boone to me. I got to shoot it today a bit and WOW this is a fast bow.
I have a couple TradGangers coming to hog hunt the 26th through the 28th and was hoping it wouldn't mess up the rotation if I sent it out on the 30th.
If this doesn't work please let me know and I will ship it before xmas  

[Ryan Sanpei]

NOMAD88,  that should be fine.  Please try your best to get it out by the 30th though.  Then the next two guys will have a little over a week each before Kalamazoo.


Gang, please post all info about here about Boone here.  

Thank you!

wow no news on the bow in over a month?

Well I can report that it made it to the Kalamazoo Expo okay and I picked it up yesterday afternoon.  I did manage to get it together and set up yesterday.  Shot a few arrows and did some tuning until my fingers gave in to the cold.  

I plan to tinker a bit over the next few days and hope to get a weather break this week for some outside shooting. Single digits for highs next couple days then some warmer but windy days.  Could be tolerable by the weekend.  Maybe a trip Friday to an indoor range for some longer shots.  For now it will be 10 yd. indoors in the barn for short sessions.  

First impression are that it is a sharp looking bow and I love the grip!

Just a few short weeks till it will be in my hands!

Can't wait!

[Ryan Sanpei]

Yeah, to be honest, I was pretty surprised with the lack of feedback…

I'm just glad that it made it to K-Zoo…

[Nathan Killen]

Ryan, I'd say with all the really cold temps we've been having most folks probably never really got to put it thru the paces like they normally would have ! Maybe that's why !?

[Ryan Sanpei]

Thanks for the insight Nathan!

[DarkTimber]

Nathan's right, or at least that was the case for me.  I received the bow in the middle of an ice storm and and was only able to get out and shoot it one time for about 30 min in the sleet and freezing rain. I was very impressed with the bow for the short amount of time I had it.  I shot some Carbon Express Heritage 150s with 200 gr up front and they shot great and hit right where I looked from the first shot.  The fit and finish on the bow were superb (really loved the textured type finish).  I also loved the grip, which was the main reason I wanted to test the bow.  Unfortunately the bow was running a little behind schedule and I had to overnight it to Andrew before the weather broke to give him time with it before K-Zoo. Thanks for putting this together Ryan & South!

I shot that Jackal at kalamazoo and was really impressed.  I think he nailed it with the grip and it was exceptionally quiet.
