Title: Black River Pass around interest.
Post by: Will Cocke 2 on May 23, 2016, 02:30:00 PM
Thanks for the welcome, glad to be part of the gang.  I would like to gauge the interest in a pass around bow.  So what do you guys want.   Recurve or a hybrid or both.   What length riser 14-16-18.   What length bow 56-64".   What poundage is most comfortable for everyone.    Write your perfect specs and if the is enough interest we will get it started.    Thanks again Will

I would be most interested.  I would like to see a 56" hybrid with a 14" riser.  I prefer 50 to 55 #s, but know that would knock a lot of others out of a generous opportunity.

Hybrid

62"-64"

45# - 48# @ 28"

18" riser

I would love to give the bow a test ride!

Recurve, 45 to 50 lbs and 60 to 62 inches

I am with Bisch 62 or 64 Hybrid would be great or
Whatever longbow or recurve 50ish pounds
But in a longer bow I feel like every time someone does a pass around they are short bows. Your bows look fantastic I would love to shoot one before buying.

Right hand.

Will you are building some awesome looking bows.
Title: Re: Black River Pass around interest.
Post by: highlow on May 23, 2016, 04:20:00 PM
Great looking bows. I would be interested in a recurve or hybrid in whatever length, however, due to the age factor, something in the 45-46# range would suit me.
Title: Re: Black River Pass around interest.
Post by: KSCATTRAPR on May 23, 2016, 04:22:00 PM
Recurve, 14" riser, 45-55#'s, 56". Your Bows look great!!!

I like a bow around 60" and around 50#@28".
But I ain't picky!!    :bigsmyl:  
Would love to see what I could do to one of these big ole boars I got running around with one of your hybrids!!    Good looking bows for sure!  :thumbsup:
Title: Re: Black River Pass around interest.
Post by: Steelhead on May 23, 2016, 05:00:00 PM
I would think something middle of the road for a pass around demo bow.That would be your 16 inch riser and it would be awesome to have a set of both curve and hybrid limbs around 60"

For poundage I don't think you would want very heavy as it would rule out certain folks as being overbowed.

I  would say 45-50#s is about the average poundage being shot these days.
Title: Re: Black River Pass around interest.
Post by: Joeabowhunter on May 23, 2016, 05:12:00 PM
Hybrid, 50lb, 62"....riser length would be your recommendation.
Title: Re: Black River Pass around interest.
Post by: bucknut on May 23, 2016, 05:15:00 PM
I would rather try the hybrid, but I'm not picky I'd just like to try one out so I could check out the grip. They are Beauties!

I also think that "middle of the road" would probably suit more people. Personally, I would prefer hybrid limbs and I like short bows, but the length wouldn't matter much to me either way. Seems like 45# would be light enough for most people, but heavy enough to be legal to hunt with in most places.

My $.02

Post by: BelegStrongbow on May 24, 2016, 02:27:00 AM
Recurve for sure.  As far as all the other lengths and poundage go, doesn't matter to me. I enjoy both long and short bows.  Really just want to see one of your bows in person.

Ok the results are in. All PMs and post seems like this one is headed toward the longer bows.   So here is what I am going to do for you guys.  

16" charcoal dymondwood riser with a bocote stripe 2 black stripes and 2 maple.  

Limbs will be 62" recurve and a 62" hybrid.  Both 50 lbs   The recurve with bocote veneers and the hybrid with  Gordon gray glass   ( never seen it) or a set of myrlte veneers haven't decide.

Hey Will,

I have a couple of friends down here in South MS, who would love to try out your bow.  I've been bragging on them since seeing your first one a couple years back.

When you do put out your sign up list please keep me in mind thanks.

Any progress on a one piece Longbow   :pray:

Whichever of your models you feel performs the best at 28" draw, in a moderate draw weight.
