I've adopted too many bows that needed a good home.

Great call!
In fact it's one of Jared's masterpieces. I have several journeyman bows at this point. im pretty picky and he's been really accommodating. I hired him to make me a bow last year and it turned out amazing, I've yet to show you guys or tell its story. But I was a bit rough on it and I've sent it back to him for re finishing.
Anyway. We stay in touch and  he told me about 2 bows that he would be finishing soon the Purple Heart/ tulip wood bow that's on the sponsors classifieds, and this one, which is African Blackwood. Well when they were all finished up and got the first spray I was shocked at how well it looked when it was wet. And suggested he do a glossy finish, which is not standard. He was hesitant but said he would give it a shot...well he did it and said it was coming my way and to give it a shot and see what I thought.  Well as you can all see it's gorgeous and I'm kinda scared to use it.

I love my Journeyman. You'll be hard pressed to find a better shooter or a better bowyer to deal with, Jared's one of the best. That thing's a looker and I'm positive a shooter to boot. What are her specs?

Saw her on his website today while I was looking around and was surprised how good the gloss finish looks. Looks great.

Yup I will! Jared said not to worry it can be polished back up!
Gonna shoot her tomorrow. ,
As far as the specs go. Jared didn't send limbs along with it. But I happen to have 3 sets. And they are all interchangeable so the ones in the picture are my 60" 41@28 olive it's a good match! I have some pieces of seal skin I'm going to put on the shelf.
