Bamboo Dragon By James Parker
« on: January 19, 2009, 03:59:21 pm »
I work a trade out with James for this bow, gotta be my best trade to date :) Anyone who hasn't shot one of James' bows just
don't know what their missing. His craftsmanship and attention to details is just incredible. This is by far the best shooting bow
I have ever shot. Shoots fast, hard and is a pleasure to shoot. I shot every arrow in my quiver through it and all of them shot well,
they ranged from rivercane, tonkin, spruce, hardwood shoots and even carbons. I am impressed to say the least.
Thank you for the trade James and we will talk next fall about our next trade ;) :)

About the bow:

66" NTN 49#@26"
Bamboo back and carmelized bamboo belly, black walnut riser,cherry ,blonde mohaghany lams
paduke and horn tip overlays
rattan wrapped handle

I've shot many of James' bows and everyone has impressed me. You are a lucky Yooper!

Yup I'm a lucky Yooper and I bet I'm the only Yooper with one of James' bows ;D

Hmmm maybe I can be his northern sales rep :)

Nice bow Dana.  ;D What did you have to trade for that your first born child?  ::)

James, do you make your own laminations or do you buy the tapered lams?

 I believe Jame's bows are tillered before glue-up because of his tapers.
