There wasn't a scratch on this '80 (?) B riser when I picked it up last year.  The limbs are 51# RER #2s.  

I've been shooting my '59 KSpecial since the start of this year and hadn't picked this bow up in ages, so I decided to take it out this afternoon.  The first group of 3 at 15 yards reminded why I love this bow, so I stepped back to 25 and shot this group - all 3 arrows are touching the leaf edge, but not a one cut the leaf!!  :)

I really like the way the "S" grip fits my hand and the straight medium wrist fits my style much better than the later contoured grips.

The chances of me finding another riser like this one are slim, so I worked out the machining process for sockets and latches and will make my own. I'm also eager to try the #3 limbs Brandon should be coming out with soon!  :D

Green Stripers are nice. That is a great riser.

There is just something about the B risers, and the green stripe ones are great. With #1 limbs they are just so smooth. They shoot really well. And your green stripe is in great shape -- a real beauty. And that is some great shooting!

My green stripe is so beat up now that I am going to have to send it off to be refurbished this winter. I mean is is embarrassing how beat up it is. It has been a shooter and a hunter and an old friend, and it needs work.

Have fun with that great looking bow!

I think the Bs are great bows as well Jeremy. Unlike you, I'm more partial to a straighter grip- this style ! is modified considerably because I don't care for the blocky features of the StyleI- the heel is tapered (similar to the green stripe) and the flat raised finger pad on the off side is gone. My styleII is a neat bow- I'm just not nuts about the radical S shape. Great bows for sure IMO.  Grant

Oops- that was too big. Sorry guys.   Grant

Nice looking bow, reminds me of the Predator.
