Gary Hall talked me into going on the Bear Quest hunt this year (it didn't take much talking) and I decided I needed a new bow for the event.  I've been wanting one with green glass and wanting to make a reverse handle longbow, so this is what I came up with.  Green on the back, gray on the belly, actionboo lams, and bubinga riser.  It's 68" and 57# @ 28".

So, do you think it will kill a bear?













I wrote B.Q. X  on the bow since this will be Bear Quest 10 coming up.

Thanks for the compliments Guys.

Rob - It's some of the new stuff from OMC and is a shade darker than the old stuff I got from you a few years ago.

Looks great John.  Like that green and grey glass with bubinga.  Very nice.  What kind of taper are you using now on your ASL's?

jsweka

Ben - 0.005 total taper with 1 1/8" width at the fadeouts and then narrowing to 1/2" at the nocks.

Very nice John, I would really like to get my hands on that if we can cross paths at one of the shoots this year!

Sweet John.  That will work for a stuffed teddy bear maybe..     :laughing:

How do you like the reverse handle John? I like the looks of it

David Flanrey

I like this one for sure!  Not usually a fan of the reverse handle but I really like the looks of this one.
