        Now it is time for the grand finale! Introducing my new hunting bow named “Killdeer” made by my good buddy Troy Breeding. This bow is both a real looker, and an amazing shooter! Fast, light, accurate. The limb design gives an amazingly fast and smooth cast. I have been shooting an older set of EFOC arrows out of it so far that are about 32% FOC. I have never shot a bow that throws an arrow with such speed and force. Enjoy the pics, she is my new pride and joy!:) And thanks again Troy, this is a work of functional, deadly art. “Life is too short to hunt with an ugly bow” Unknown smart guy quote.

          Sweet! That’s a beauty. I like the slim riser, and the stippled grip. What are the specs?

            The specs of this beauty are 62″ overall bow length, 59# @ 29″.

            Bruce, we are headed out that way fishing soon, how’s the run off?

                Lucky man! I love stippled handle grips. I once bought a bow for that reason alone (at a trad archery event, where we can go a bit crazy you know).

                  Things are clearing up, but the creeks are still running high and strong – still a surprising amount of snow at higher elevations in the Tetons.

                      Interesting grip with the off side material removed below the thumb rest… I wonder if that’s functional?

                      Nice bow!

                        Did he cut to center for the EFOC or did you have it cut past center and then build out the strikeplate. Really like the style and the wood combinations with that stippling.

                              I’m jealous. Am I the only one here that shoots a ugly bow?

                                Jans,

                                She is an absolute beauty! I love how slim the riser is below the shelf, and gorgeous limbs.

                                Jealousy is a stinky cologne, and I am emitting a strong funk 😉
