Thank you for the info that Chriss is going to carry on Steves work.I think Chriss was with Steve at Denton hill a year ago,seemed like a Steve clone (nice guy).
I bought a yew and cocobolla riser from Steve once,Steve told me it was the fastest bow he had their.If I remember right it was 60" and 42#@28"-I regret selling it.It was fast and a thing of beauty.I have a friend who has a bamboo back and belly abbott-he will never let that bow go,another great shooting LB from the master Steve Abott.

RIP Steve Abbott.. I read about the gathering, a wonderful way to pay respect to an archer..
