High Sierra that is.....about a month ago I received a new to me Fox High Sierra but due to some health issues was unable to shoot it right away. Well, I've been shooting it for about 3 weeks now and all I can say is WOW!! Not only does is the grip the best I've ever felt in a 3 piece recurve but it draws extremely smooth and stacks the arrows where I point them. Initially I was concerned because at 48#@28" with my 29+ inch draw it was at the upper level of my comfort zone and thought I was going to need some lighter limbs but this bow is soooo smooth that I don't think it I'll need them. I don't know what took me so long to try a Fox, but I've definitely been bitten.

Ron builds some sweet bows, I love the longbows. The Fox grip is very very similar to both the Stalker and Wes Wallace standard grip, they melt into your hand.
:clapper: awesome bow!
Looks nice!Love my 62 inch Fox Breed 2 PC. T.D.The Best 50s style recurve I have had overall.
Enjoy
Well......at least you won't have to see a Dr. for shots........lol. Good looking bow :thumbsup:
Good looking bow Fred. Ron builds some beauties!

Beautiful bow!
Stunning riser indeed!
I have lusted after the fox lineup since 2004. Nearly every year at the Kalamazoo Expo I looked 'em over but the longbows seemed to dominate my focus. Still do and I can't complain... :p
Those are really nice bows. Congrats on a sharp bow.
Have fun with it Fred! "New-To-Me" bows are great!
... mike ... :archer2: ...
Congrats I have been looking at the Fox website a lot here lately.
Beautiful bow Fred! I have always liked the looks of Fox bows.
Boy Fred that is a beauty. It just looks like it would shoot good. Keep enjoying it. Philip
Sweet looking bow Fred. Enjoy it, plenty of nice days to break her in.
Great bow, built by a great guy.
I have had my High Seirra for 10 years and still love it. Had a lighter set of limbs built for it so I can keep shooting it when age startd taking its toll.
How long is it? Are you going to Denton Hill in a couple weeks?
Ed, It's 62" 48#@28". Unfortunately I won't be making Denton this year.
Great looking Fox Fred. Glad y'all are getting along well.
Sweet bow! Congrats!
Fox bows are top notch. I killed more critters with a Breed than any other bow..excellent on ya!
Thanks guys for all the positive comments. This bow is a keeper and a shooter!!
Fred,
Sorry I was so long not responding to this thread and I thought you would like the Fox Sierras once you shot it a few times.
The one I have I had traded a Whip for to Shortdraw about 7 years ago I guess and something about the grip really makes these bows comfortable in the hand and as you said "Smooth as silk " on the drawing with what feels like an easy transition to the point of any "stacking"!
Some bows seem to come to a point you feel it stacks suddenly but these High Sierra's just feel like they "softly" let you know it's there if you know what I mean.
My bow is 43# and folks thinks it's heavier by the way it shoot's an arrow . Not sure what the speed is but it's plenty fast.
Yours looks really awesome with that Boa quiver on it and just the right size if you ask me.
I guess that is your Lucky tree and wasn't the one you lost a few years ago lol. :goldtooth:
Love mine! Best bow I've ever owned.
Love the High Sierra bows. I've been hunting with mine for almost 10 yrs. now. Cocobolo riser with two yellow fenolic stripes and Ron's signature bamboo limbs. 58" and 55#'s at my 27" draw. Smooth drawing and smoking fast.
That is a nice looking bow, Ron King makes some masterpieces for sure.
Great to see the love and support that he has on this and other forums, as he does make buying a custom bow a great experience in My opinion.
But...As you can see by the number of Fox Bows on my rack that I am Bias :)
Good looking Bow Fred
Ron makes a sweet bow, and is great to deal with. He fixed me up with a Triple Crown that was as smooth as butter.
Good looking bow ya got there. I'll bet it shoots great too! Congrats!
First class bow by a First class guy. My Royal crown is my holy grail. You have a beautiful bow Fred.
