Does anyone know if Chris Cox is still building Habu bows? I left a voicemail and sent an email I’m just curious if you could still order one of his bows? It doesn’t seem like his website is really up to date so just curious.

Thank you

2016 price list on the website. It has a phone number. Those are pricey bows. Not sure what they offer that is worth the cost.

I’ve seen that and tried to call with no response. Simply curious and I agree they do tote a heavy price tag

Chris goes to South America to had pick the wood. From what I hear they are very high performance. I've been looking at one for a long time, but I'm too old to get past the delivery date.

Maybe he's in SA?

They're in the same price range as a Border Covert Hunter with Hex 9 limbs - i.e. top range pricing.
Border has probably sold more units as they are better known, but from the Habu owners out there, they do seem happy and at least he is US based.

I sent an email and gave a call. No response yet. No worries just curious

Same thing

A fellow here in Utah has quite a few of his bows. I’ve shot them, I think they’re top notch. I called him maybe eight years ago, put my name on the build list, he said it was about a two year wait. I still haven’t heard back from him. I sure do love my Black Widow though...6-8wk lead time.

Even thinking about a 2 year wait makes me feel ill. My recent Toelke was quoted at 7-8 weeks, took 4. The part that took the longest on my Border was communicating what I wanted with the large time difference.

They still have an ad in the most recent issue of TBM. It appears to be a new picture in the ad, so I'd say he's still open. The ads cost money.

Conner, you have been on his waiting list for 8 years <!> ???

Ya, no bow is worth that....at least to me.

He sounds like Indiana Jones.

Yes, me too, not happening. If I was in my 30's, or 40's, maybe.

I'm a 67 year old cancer survivor, they tell me I should be OK, hope they're right.

I am not waiting that long for a bow, heck, I don't buy green bananas, now :wink:

My Omega Imperial came in, 42 days from date of order, I can handle that.

I once waited 16 weeks for a Covert Hunter and thought it would never arrive.... usually it is 6 weeks. And now with the new machinery, I suspect that it is faster.

Coeur d'Alene man who fired gun during altercation gets 45 days in jail

COEUR d’ALENE — A man who fired a gun during an altercation with his neighbor is serving a jail sentence.
A jury convicted Christopher N. Cox, 63, of aggravated assault in May.
The charge stemmed from last November, when Cox confronted a neighbor who he mistakenly believed had trespassed onto his property. Cox fired a gun as his neighbor was walking away, according to court records, and later threatened to “hunt down” his neighbor.

First District Judge Rich Christensen sentenced Cox to five years in prison, the maximum possible penalty, but suspended the sentence and placed Cox on probation for three years. Cox must spend 45 days in jail as a condition of his probation.
“This was a scary event for the victim, as it would have been to anyone,” Christensen said before delivering the sentence. “You were a hazard to society that night.”
Prosecutors had asked the court to retain jurisdiction over Cox and place him in a prison treatment program, called a rider, for up to a year before either placing him on probation or ordering him to serve the rest of his sentence in prison.
“There was a severe lack of remorse or accountability,” prosecuting attorney Matthew Welde said of Cox.
Legal counsel for Cox said a presentence investigation found that Cox has a very low risk of reoffending.
Cox told the court that he fired his gun to “establish his boundary.”
“I was trying to protect my family,” he said. “I tried not to pursue my neighbors in any sort of legal affair or accuse them of anything that would inflict any harm on them. I tried the best I could to abide by the law and follow the open carry law.”
Before handing down the sentence, Christensen said he’s seen a troubling increase in cases involving people who “reach for their weapons first” in a dispute.
“You had every right, until conviction, to carry a weapon,” he told Cox. “Having that weapon in your hand and speaking in the manner that you did, ‘I will hunt you down.’ How can anyone take that as anything but a threat? That is not how a good citizen acts. Why couldn’t you have walked up to the person, who is not on your property, and asked w
hat is going on without a gun in your hand?”
