Bamabows Hunter Expedition (Pic's Update)

Just got the word that my Hunter Expedition is going in the mail tomorrow.:D:D:D After about an 8 week wait, Nate is now a proud father of a baby girl, it is finished. It would have shipped out Wednesday, but he saw a boo boo in the finish and sanded in down and re-shot the finish. Now that is pride in workmanship. Can’t wait to get my hands on it and do some shooting. Will post some pic’s when it gets here.

Randy, questions about specific model bow, arrows, whatever, always get the fewest responses,logically. Plus most of our members are out hunting right now. Hang in.

I went with a Bocaote riser and riser overlay,3-lams of walnut + coreglass limbs (Nate recommended walnut for speed) with phenolic,Bocote,and Elk tips and he hit my weight,45# @ 27″ right on the money. If it is anything like the reviews I’ve read it should shoot like a dream.

My new baby came in the mail today and Nate did a beautiful job. Now to name her…..Any ideas?

That sure is a beauty…really like the black glass and handle wrap with the bocote. How about naming her “Black Beuty”?

What is the brace height on the bow? Look like it is about 12 inches.

The running brace height is 6.5″ – 7.5″. Got it set at 6.75 and it shoots great. The pic above was after it was first strung and was setting on 7.75″.

Congrats on the Expi you are gonna love that bow, i have been hunting with my 60in Expi all week, very manueverable in the woods, i have been hunting from a ground blind much easier to use than my 66in Royal Bama! Nate sent me pics of HIS personal bow, very nice! He should be starting my 62in Royal Expi any day! I am going with Orange Osage with a little contrast on the riser, I told him to pick the wood,going with bamboo cores on the limbs about 47@28 plus I am adding the stag limbtips can”t wait to get some pics from him when he gets it started! good luck with your new bow!

Congrats on the new bow getting built. I’m already thinking on a Royal Expi for next year, And Nate builds one hell of a bow. We’ve been back and forth on e-mail as to some gold tip Traditionals for mine going either efoc or uefoc. Going by the easton charts I should be using a 1916 @ 28-29″ but mine seems to like a 2114 @ 28″ which is about 2 spine sizes heavy….go figure…lol

Wow, I’m away for awhile and come back to not one but TWO brand new Expeditions! Nate must be a busy man! Brand new daughter and still cranking out the bows.

This one is beautiful. I absolutely love the look of it. That is a keeper!! I’m currently hunting with mine and love it.

Yes Nate has been a busy man. Mine took a couple of weeks longer, his wife and baby was in the hospital for 10 days but everything is ok and back to normal and business as usual. I love the darkness of the bow and still thinking of a name for her, and already thinking of what woods to use in a Royal Expi for next year. Ive got a week left on tuning and practicing to be ready for bow season which opens on the 15th. Wish us luck…LOL

I really like the feel of the bow in my hand. I’ll see if the wifey can take some video of me this weekend shotting in the bow to post.

Sweet….Can’t wait to see some pic.’s. Sounds like we are going to have to start a “Bamabows” club on here….lol…I need to stay away from Nick’s web page….I had to try one of the American Leathers Elk gloves, and I must say it is the best glove i’ve ever used.
