Boy's she's back.

This is what quality looks like when you close your eyes and Imagine a new bow , My Robertson Stybow whent home to Montana a month or so ago to be re-finished in Matt and have new limbs fitted 60lb @28" The Timber is so rich and full the finish just brings it to life.

" And he looked at it and he did see that it was good "

I had an Iroquois Indian phrase insribed on her Riser above the shelf
"DAKA RIH HON TYE" Iroquois braves believed there were strong spirits in their bows , Translated it is "The Silent Messenger".

Its a nice reminder of the bows earliest masters.

Nice bow mate. What type of timber is the riser? I like the idea of the matt finish, it does away with the need to worry about reflections or camo socks.

I don't reckon it's fair, you've only been really into traditional archery, seriously, for a short time and you've got better bows than me. I've been bending the stick since 1969. :cry: :? :) :D Good luck to you mate!

Mate that is one fatastic looking bow and a very well thought out picture to boot.

The 'naming' of the bow is a very nice touch to round it off.

Love the look of the timber in that bow and also the name you have given it.

That is a clasy looking bow.It is hard to beat good craftsmanship and tastefully selected materials.
