Title: Anyone own Wagstaff?
Post by: Shadowhnter on December 03, 2016, 06:21:00 PM
Looking for info on these longbows. I see they are sponsors here, but I haven't seen or heard anything about their bows. Anyone?

I do not own one, but have shot one and held them in my hand. The one I shot shot great, and workmanship and quality seemed to be top notch from what I could tell.

I took a good look at them this summer and handled a few at the booth at the MCAAP tournament. They look and feel to be great bows

Sorry I'm late to the dance. I own two Wagstaff Archery longbows.  Besides being the best looking bows in my collection they are without a doubt the best shooting as well!

My first introduction to Conor was at the Hill Country shoot down in south Texas this past April.  I was so impressed with his craftsmanship that I ordered my first custom bow from him before I even shot an arrow from one.

About a month later when I got my hands on that first bow he made me the very first time I shot it I knocked off a nock in a 3 arrow group.  Needless to say it shoots right where I am looking!

Since that day I have had shoulder issues so I've had to reduce the weight I am shooting.  When Conor found out I was having trouble he promptly crafted me a 40# bow which I have been hunting with since this past August.

This bow has become my go to bow of choice.  Whenever someone comes into the archery shop where I build my leather goods and ask about Wagstaff Archery bows I am more than happy to let them shoot either of these great works of art.

The his and hers bows that Conor posted were ordered after a friend shot my Wagstaff bows in fact.  I was at the shop the other day when those 2 arrived and I have to say there was a nice crowd around admiring them.

If anyone is around Yukon, OK and would like to shoot a Wagstaff Archery bow just let me know.  You will not be disappointed.  These are the smoothest drawing and best shooting longbows out there.  Plus there is zero hand shock in any one of his bows I've shot.

I was honored to be with Conor when he shot his first elk this past August up in Colorado.  The 3 piece longbow he made and shot that elk with was so impressive!  The arrow clipped the front shoulder, came out and entered the neck and completely passed though her severing its main artery and wind pipe.

If I sound biased, well I am.  When you find a product  that performs better than it looks and we all know how well these look, well I think you get my point.

K.C.

Wow. Absolutely beautiful bow photos. If they shoot as good as they look, they will be winners for sure.

My bow is the last LH bow in the pics above. I just received my Wagstaff Pendencia LB for the second time. I am very picky on the grip and sent the bow back for Connor to work on the grip. Connor sent pics to see along the way to see if he was doing what I want. He hit it on the head. This bow is very smooth, quiet and fast. Connor builds a awesome bow and wants to make sure his customers are satisfied. I have owned several longbows and this one has caught my attention with it's beauty and performance. Thanks Connor. Here are some pics. Give him a call. This is one of the best bows for the money. Ken

Sorry for the late addition to this thread but I just joined the forum...
I too have one of Connors bows, a Intrepid take down longbow.  It is so beautiful and shoots so well.  This is not my first longbow as I have a Hummingbird Kingfisher PBS that I dearly love and will never get rid of but the Wagstaff Intrepid has very quickly become my favorite bow to shoot.
As other owners have said, my bow too is silky smooth, whisper quiet and very fast for it's weight...and it is incredibly beautiful, very well balanced.  Probably will not be my last from Wagstaff.

Fred's Intrepid TD Longbow sure is a pretty one..  You have great taste in wood there Fred..!  One of my favorites to leave our shop.

Thank You Very Much for the kind words.. We really do appreciate you..
