Recently decided I needed another bow in particular a Border Ghillie Dhu,here are the specs & some pics
AMO: 52" (45" when strung) 70#@28" - Limbs Hex7 - Riser Bubinga
A 52" bow is not for everyone but I am very impressed with the bows performance :biggrin: only 52" but smooth to draw, fast & quiet, loves 700grn arrows, and puts the arrows where needed, the arrows in the first pic were shot at 18m.

Very clever design, very long limbs for the OAL and a minimalist Riser no doubt contribute to the Bows smooth draw
