I got the call from Mark last week and on Friday my wife called to say that there was a package waiting for me when i got home.
Huntsman 60#@28" 62"long Burdekin Plum with Cocobolo overlays and Red Elm limbs.
Its quieter than my Bob Lee and I think I will be more accurate with it cause of the greater stability with the extra length.
This will be my bow for a long time to come I reckon it shoots excellent .Mark had problems with making the bows there for a while and he offered a lot of people there deposits back.Twice to me and I held on .
Here she is I cant wait to take some game with it. :D

Great looking bow Jeffro.
I know you've been waiting a long time for it mate, I remember you telling me about it a couple of years ago up the cape, good to see it's finally in your hands. I hope you have some good luck with it on the hogs in a couple of months.

Hopefully you get a heap of good ones mate, you've got an edge in that you know all the good spots now.

I was going to try and make it up there mate, but a move to Pine Creek in the N.T. around September might be on the cards instead.

I was going to place an order on one I had spoken with Mark via email on a couple of occasions and then when I went to his web site to place the order he'd stopped taking orders:(:(:(:(:(:(
I'm hanging for when he starts taking orders again.............if he does:(
