Hello. BamaBows are great bows. I currently own 3, but have had as many as 5 at one time. The bowyers name is Nate Steele. He stopped building bows a few years ago due to having kids and needing insurance. Last I heard he was driving a truck. He is a stand-up guy who built sweet bows and stood behind his work with old school devotion. He once offered to replace a bow that developed a problem that I bought used off ebay. His policy was lifetime warranty to original buyer, so it was technically out of warranty. I upgraded to his top of the line model so at least he could recoup his material cost and some profit. If you do a search on TradGang you’ll find lots of info on his bows, along with heaps of praise. I have never heard a single negative thing about Nate or his bows. Also, on Pinterest there is a page devoted to his bows, a good place to see some of his work. Enjoy your new bow!
