Fox High Sierra? Anybody?

I am thinking about buying one and am curious as to what yall that own them think of them. Big Jim had a used one at Compton so I picked it up and it felt great in my hand but was way too much weight for me, I would really like to see some pictures if you have any.
Thanks in advance,
Steve

It was my first recurve in 2001 when I started contemplating a return to my roots. I love the grip on these bows! I have a 1-piece Maverick now. Smooth, quality workmanship, and like I mentioned, very comfortable grip.
The only thing I didn't like about the HS, and this is PURELY a cosmetic preference, are the limb bolt insert ends that show on the face of the riser, top and bottom.

I'm not a big fan of the exposed limb bolt inserts either but I think I could get past it. Are they a good performer? Quiet, fast pointability? Thanks for responding Roy.

Bought a used High Sierra on this website 10 years ago. 60 inch, 53@28"; Zebra/Cocobolo riser with red elm limbs and antler tips. A very pretty bow with excellent craftsmanship. Very happy with it. At first, I was on the fence over the exposed limb bolt inserts. Then I realized that it's probably a stronger design than the hidden inserts on other bows. The brass inserts have aged and taken on a nice patina, kinda compliments the wood now. It's quick enough, and quiet. If anything ever happened to it, I'd buy another one just like it.
I think you'd be happy with one...

Thanks Bill, I really like the riser, the way the sight window is cut out and the handle fit great on the one Jim had. I would have bought it if it wouldn't have been #74@28!! These days that's about #20 more than I care to shoot.

Love mine, it was my first custom built for me. Originally had it made with 55# limbs and later got a set of 46#. It is the quietest shooting recurve I have ever shot - just a dull thud.

Anything built by Ron King is a winner. Top shelf quality and he builds em to shoot.

I ordered a breed back in 96 I think. It was a outstanding bow and I killed a lot of critters with it. I started shooting longbows a couple of years later and have been with them ever since. I sold that breed a few years ago, but after picking up that fox at Crompton I'm going to have to have one.
Thanks for the responses fellas

I have a Maverick and if it was my only bow I would be a very happy bowhunter...quick, quiet, and I shoot it very well

The High Sierra has been my go to bow for years and it's taken a lot of critters! The draw cycle is it's most impressive feature. Right before i hit anchor, it let's off and just tucks in while i draw a bead on something's chest. I've owned some nice bows and there's nothing like my Fox.

I got a High Sierra in '98, I believe, and will never give it up. Although I have been shooting a longbow for several years now, I still get the High Sierra out and play with it quite frequently. I just simply love the thing!
