So after seeing how cool @Bowhunter4life made his Suppressor I was contemplating buying a micro to do something cool myself. After missing out on a couple I said to myself..."self you have the perfect canvas hanging on a hook already". So I reached out to Jeff to make sure he didn't mind if I did a little makeover on the ol Hybrid. He said he didn't care so off I went. I painted the limbs with a flexible paint designed for car trim and bumpers to make sure if could handle being cocked and fired. I sanded the stock down and re-stained it black and attempted red after but that didnt work the way I planned and kinda blended with the black. I decided to go with an antique look and lightly sanded the stock in spots to make it the way I envisioned. Once I saw it I was in love and sprayed it with semi gloss poly. Today I reassembled it and threw on a beautiful Myers flemish he made me when I had the black and black cherry vision. I think it still looks great on it and adds some flavor lol. I shot it today and like always it was spot on to 40. What do you guys think?

Super cool! Jim!
Tell me more about the numbers...
What limbs?
Power stroke?
Draw weight?
Arrow weight?
Fps?
I love it!
Not Jim, but…

CRT limbs
9.5 power stroke
340# @9.5”
Not sure what Jim is shooting, but it has shot 450 grain at 325 fps.

What a beautiful bow. I’m champing at the bit to get back home for the tail end of our archery season. We traveled to Maine to see leaves change and camp...y’all see that all the time but not many colors of Fall in Fla. Hunting in these mtns. must be hard...im glad I’m a flat lander for hunting. Lol.
