I had one years ago. It was real quiet and pretty sure it had a B50 string on it. It was too long for me so I didn't keep it long.

I really enjoy shooting mine, its 66in 49@28. Its made from arroya wood. Its really quiet, this is my second year with it. I couldn't shoot it last year, I had a bone spur on my left elbow that tore tendons. Had surgery March 2015 and just in the last five weeks able to start shooting again. I look forward to hunting season with it.

If you do a search for them you will find lots of information. I shot a pretty nice buck with a Mahaska longbow last season.

I've owned 3 Mahaska bows over the years. One was a flat bow that I built for me It stated out 57 @28 I sent it back to Ken to have a couple of pounds taken off. Second was a 60 @ 28 recurve. The last one was a longbow that was 48 @ 28 that I sold to ron w.

All were great shooters and bows that I miss but old age forced me to sell them. The Flatbow was always and forever has been my favorite.
