Had this bow for awhile and have shot it but not alot, here lately been shooting it quiete a bit, great shooting no handshock and very quick. It has a 16 in. riser and limbs make a 62 in. bow. Not sure of riser woods but think the darker is Shedua or Bocote? The lighter wood might be osage or Tulipwood but again not sure, it has a fairly heavy riser but the brass limbbolts add to the weight. The limbs are flatcut red elm I believe, if anywood recognizes the woods please speak up. Sterling is a very good bowyer you dont hear much about.

Beauty of a bow there! It looks like te darker wood is Bocote, the accent stripe may be Yew & it looks like the limb veneers may be red elm (Only guessin' though :p )
Looks like Shedua and Tulipwood to me! I LIKE IT!!!! The stealth stabilizers are nice too!
Are those limbs trap shaped? How can you get in touch with the bowyer?
Interseptor, send me a p.m. and Ill give you his number, not sure if allowed to do it on here...Dean
Brian, It really doesnt need the limbsavers but it does make it a little quieter, which is always a good thing.
I missed the Limb Savers, I was talking about the big limb bolts. I guess I am desensitized to Limb Savers after shooting my Dalaa and now my DAS Hunter with them since last fall. LOL!!!
My first "real" bow was a 62" Sterling recurve TD. It was a great shooter and his static limb tips really do work. His TD longbow sure looks sweet too.
