If I can stand to make myself wait, I think I have solution--I' m going to order several " stock" bows, each with a different veneer, and decide from there. I' m leaning towards the waterfall bubinga, just because I' ve never seen anything like it before. The Tamo ash (no pics of it yet) is very nice and very unusual also--this is killing me!

" I only have one." [:' (]what kinda sissified response is that? one bow my left arm![] Weaver, a man can hardly walk thorugh your house without stepping on bowznarras!
Don' t let him fibb you fellas, he has plenty to choose from, he just can' t make his mind up, until he sees one of the new bows that I had ordered then he goes to telling me it is late being shipped and all.
Just kiddin!!!!! hahahahhahaa
I am really diggin that macassar ebony and waterfall bubinga myself, but then again that maple is pretty awesome.
Get a grip Weaver order one, Chek Mate bows $500.00 Canadian, that makes them like $10.00 US right?

Pat thanks for the info, now I know why my bow took so long, old Chad had it trying to figure out if he liked it. Mine was a Marc special, Maccassar ebony riser and curly/birdeye maple limbs A real looker Chad told me the worlds supply of ebony was low and Marc had to ride his bike to South America, cut it down himself and carry it home on his back. Then he got flat tire on the way home in MS and was held up for a few days while he and a " friend" fixed it[>:]

CT, if you believe anything " Beavers" tells you, I got some BeachFront Property I' ll sell ya!
I remember the bow that you speak of. Chad had it at a shoot awhile back, he was sooting ULTRA LIGHT carbons out of it with pink micro vanes and .25 gr glue in nibbs. I think the total arrow weight was like 15grs. He was bragging about how CM bows were indestructable and that all that grains per inceh stuff was a big hoax. I have to say that bow sounded like a 12ga going off and it held up the whole round. After he finished he started letting people dry fire the bow just to test the durability of his strings. MAN THAT IS ONE STOUT BOW YOU GOT![]
What really made me a believer was one of the guys got stuck and Chad used your bow as an anchor point for the winch as the guy did' nt want he metal cable scuffing his new BMW SUV. It is really amazing what a little bondo, wood putty, epoxy, JB weld and superglue can fix.[][][][][][][]
