I needed a bow to take down to TN with me as I dont have one due to giving away, trading, selling, breaking, ect. ;D I didnt have much time to spare so it was a rush job but it came out real nice. Its from David Knights highly r/d blank I thought at 59" it would be a good bow for stalking through the brush so thats how it got the name "Knight stalker" ;D Sorry the pics are not the best. It was starting to rain and the finish is not quite dry. Its bamboo backed ipe with maple and ebony accent in the riser. The boo is dyed a dark gray but it doesnt show well in the picture. Its 59" and 52# @ 27" and as usual with these bows its pretty darn quick :) I'll get the full draw shot tomorrow :)

Thanks Hatch. Davids blanks are great. I had a bit harder time tillering this highly reflexed design but he helped me through it :)
-
looks great, can't wait to see the rest. Scott

Looks really good Jesse, I like the name. 59" should make a really handy hunting bow. Have fun in TN, and good luck with the new bow.
-
That's a really nice bow, nice colour combo!
-
Looks good Jesse, I don't need to see a full draw pic as I know the tiller will be good and no doubt the arrows leave contrails :)

Wow ! I like it. You did a great job as usual. :).. If it is OK with you. I am going to use your name Knight Stalker for that design.. I have been trying to come up with something to name them for awhile and I like this one.. ;)
-

Nice Jesse. You've got those tips opening up nicely. 8)
-
I can't say anymore than the rest,but I sure would like to shoot it! Looks fine... I just bought 10 blanks of boo from David . They are real fine material too! Denny
-
Jesse, That is a cool name, and the bow looks great too naturally. I too think that is an ideal tiller for that bow, and when they open up too much tend to lose a little fps according to the humility machine (chrono).
I'm also envious of your back yard ;)
Rich
-
Sexy Sexy bow! Great Job on that!
-
Thanks again guys. Whoever is at the classic is welcome to try it out if they want.
Rich- thanks. The yard is a work in progress. I had to dig the pond to build my house because the land was too low. I needed cheap fill so the pond was the result. For a landscaper I have a pretty messed up yard ;D Weeds everywhere. I just tell people I'm going for a natural look ;D
-
Dang Jesse thats gonna make a nice Birthday Present for me ;D
-
Full draw looks real good. I sure hope that last pic was on auto timer, and you didn't have the wife taking it. ;D I second the backyard envy. I like the natural look. ;)
-
