Title: JavaMan Falcon on the way- arrived with more pics pg 2
Post by: pdk25 on May 12, 2017, 02:48:00 PM
Gregg sent some pics of my bow before he shipped it.  Should be here Monday.  60", 55#@29", buff tips and overlays, 2 piece takedown with bowbolt, crazy spalted mango veneers from IdahoCurt, and stabilized Myrtle riser from IdahoCurt.  Hope it shoots as well as my shrew Safari that Gregg built.

Enjoy your Falcon!

That's a beauty, and knowing Gregg's bows, I bet it shoots even better.

It's a beauty for sure.  I'm thinking real hard about getting on the build list. By the way that one will never shoot good cause the shelf is on the wrong side.

Holy crap Pat! That thing is nuts.  You know if you mix Idaho Curt and Gregg it's going to be special.  Just wow.

I have a Shrew that Gregg built and it is a wonderful bow... So comfortable and easy to shoot.

I would like to see some reviews of the longer Falcon XL, which is 64", but no-one seems to ask for one to be built.  i would have thought 64" longbow would be the ideal length for stability and accuracy..

Cheers
alex

The bow arrived today, so I drove home and strung it up over lunch so that it would not be sitting out at the end of the driveway.  I took some pics then headed back to work.  I will get some shooting in over the next couple days.
