I just received a sweet bow from Kevin Hawkins aka sleek and his wife helped with making the case. The bow is osage with buffalo horn inlays on the riser and fossilized mammoth ivory inlayed in for the strike plate. The siyths are bamboo and some kinda of redwood burl on the tips. This is Kevins own design and it is 50" 43@28 and shoots right around 170 FPS also it is sinew backed with copperhead skins. The case is leather and the arrows are leopard wood with two turkey fletch. It looks like a display piece. Thank you kevin

Outstanding! Speaking as a wood bowyer, that is an amazing specimen! Very high degree of difficulty executed perfectly! Way beyond my wheelhouse! Congrats to both of you.

Cobra. This design feels just like I am shooting a 64 inch bug jim buffalo longbow. Maybe evendors a tad more dead in the hand after the shot. And pretty peppy for a 43# bow.
