[Mack The Knife]

The specifications as given to the bowyer:

Model: Bama Bows Tribute. Right Hand.

Bow length: 68" nock-to-nock.

Draw weight: 65# @ 27”.

Riser length: 16” fade to fade. Riser to be bedded.

Riser width: 1 1/8"

Limbs not trapped to belly or back.

Handle: A straight and wedge / teardrop shaped grip, with the narrower end towards the belly. See attached pictures.
Handle width: Not less than 1 1/8”.
Handle depth: Between 2 1/8”" to 2 1/4" depending on my bow hand dimensions given below.
Wrist to tip of middle finger = 8”.
Finger span = 9 3/4”.
Width of palm, near wrist = 4”.
(The back of the grip should line up with the finger pads between the first and second finger joints.)

Shelf and Strike Plate: To be slightly radiused to minimise arrow contact.

Leather Strike Plate: 3/16" before centre or just enough for a 23/64" dia. arrow shaft. Hence, 3/16" or 0.2032" before centre.

Riser Wood: Cocobolo.

[Mack The Knife]

Come on over on the 26th and we'll fling some arras.

Made up some Tri-colour arras just for the big day.

[Mack The Knife]

You are getting a custom bow made?

No.

It's already made.

BTW, what does the title and four pics imply?

Have you got the Cara cara working?

[kanwar76]

Who me ?

[Mack The Knife]

Who me ?

Yes, YOU! Pick me up in your shiny new Puppy mobile and we'll go to Decathlon and fling some arras.

We'll take Skyman along to retrieve the arras and serve refreshments.

Okie Rusty,

So you again chose not to go reflex deflex way and wait its not takedown is it

[Mack The Knife]

Okie Rusty,
So you again chose not to go reflex deflex way

The correct term is DEFLEX-REFLEX!

And the answer is no. Or should that be 'yes'?

I don't mind a bow with mildly deflexed-reflexed limbs (Nate just built his first one http://www.bamabows.com/mildrd.html ) but I prefer an American straight limbed semi-long bow.

Are you ever going to order yours?

P.S.: This one isn't a take-down.

[Sakobav]

Congrats but for us uninitiated ones could you Mack post the picture of a similar bow...my concern does customs go after these too?

No, i was talking about reflex-deflex only. Its mentioned like that on Nate's site The expedetion, the one which I am gonna order soon very soon just saving some monies

Oops and BTW congrats, this looks like twin of the earlier one

I don't care if Nate's grandpappy calls it a reflex-deflex. That is wrong, as are most Americans who call it that. Next time don't argue with me!

Saving monies, are we? Is the Puppy mobile consuming too much diesel?
