Can't post pics anymore, but I had a very simple, but powerful 62" baraga.  Just a good shooting bow in my opinion. That bow was getting 181fps at 11 grn.per pound at 50#

I have had Baraga's, Superiors, still have 2 Whispers. I need to get a classic at some point. They are top of the line in my opinion, great fit and finish, very good performance and Steve is just a great guy to deal with. I don't have any pics but I'm sure someone will put a few up.

Here's one I used to have.  Kick myself almost daily for letting this on go.  She was a 66" Black Beauty.  Bocote Riser and 4 lams of American Elm with black glass on back and belly.  Just outstanding!  Can't go wrong with a mist!

Trad',

Steve's bows are exceptional.  Among the most gratifying and mild mannered ASL's I have shot.  His attention to detail on the bows is "Superior", you won't find a mistake on one.  They are an excellent value.  He builds several other models not listed on his site occasionally, just call and discuss. He has a longbow for every need.

Not the greatest picture but it's the only one on my phone at the moment. My NM Superior 66" long and 50lbs @ 29"  (http://i556.photobucket.com/albums/ss7/ballanburden/Mobile%20Uploads/101A066C-AC6F-409B-ABDE-F72BBA838799.jpg) (http://s556.photobucket.com/user/ballanburden/media/Mobile%20Uploads/101A066C-AC6F-409B-ABDE-F72BBA838799.jpg.html)

I also have a Baraga that I made a trade for back in 2006 that I absolutely love.

Thank you! It's a beautiful bow but has taken me a while to figure out. Thanks to some advice on here I changed my grip up a bit and took almost all the thump out of her

My go to bow remains my Whisper.There is something about that bow that always draws me to it. 66" 51#@28. It loves heavy wood arrows.

I shouldn't have opened this.  Now I'm thinking about another one of Steve's bows.

I have two of Steve's Sheltons, and they are great. The only problem with Steve's bows is that I can't afford more of them.

I just received my bocote Baraga, it is 60" 49@28", and coco riser with osage/paduak accents with elk tips. Absolute perfect bow. Tempered boo cores, stunning veneers, and a joy to shoot.
Steve is top class, easy to work with.

Trust me no bow will out shoot the shooter.
