I have one that I use out of my pop up for Turkey, and I know if I were to sell it then I'd just be in the same boat you are now.  :)

You may have a little better luck posting this in the classified forum.  Good luck with your search.

What weight are you looking for.

I still have an all black 57 @ 28 right handed to get rid of.

Lon,

Last I heard, nobody is making the sheepeater at this time.  Mike was making them for Brent the past several years but not now.  The last time I looked he had the remaining three Sheepeaters in his inventory for sale in the classifieds here at TradGang; you may want to look at them.  Last time I talked to Brent he said he wasn't going to be making anymore so after Mike sells his, a used one will be the only option, for awhile.  

What weight and grip style are you looking for?  Most of the bows with the original straight grip (my preference) can be shot either handed.
The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.

How does a guy get in touch with Brent?  I too tried sending him an email the other day to tell him how happy I still am with my sheepeater and send him a picture or two.. It is a great little hunting bow that gets a lot of conversation from folks when I show it off.  
Oh well.  I'll post here and maybe he will see it.  Thanks Brent..

60#'s at 26" might be a tough score... Mine is 62@29.  Shoots an arrow with some zip and would kill most anything on the planet with the right arrow/placement.. Good luck...

I'm hoping I can just get in touch with Mr. Brent to get one custom made.

Good luck. I've sent Brent several emails over the last 3 months trying to get a new bow made - no reply. Gonna make do with my older straight grip 55# @ 28". Bought this one used and she shoots so good thought I'd like to have a new one made.....

Yep and now the website is gone.  We found a 2006 archived page embedded in the server.

Thanks for the headsup.
