Title: Masters of the bare bow 4
Post by: Miner49er on May 14, 2017, 12:14:00 PM

I can't remember the young mans name,but he was in the military.He talked a little about his bow,and how it was made exactly to his hand.He also gave the name of the Bowyer,and I can't remember that either.I loaned my DVD to someone so I can't check it out.Can someone tell me who he said made his bow?My memory SUCKS.

I believe you are talking about Joel Turner.  He is not in the military, but is a firearms instructor for the police department he works for.  He was shooting a Brackenbury takedown longbow with a grip custom made for him.  I believe the Brackenbury company is no longer in business.  Joel now has a website, ironmindhunting.com , where he teaches control of target panic.

Almost any bowyer can make a custom grip for you. You just have to be close enough to them for fitting. Or if you have a grip you like send it to them. Joel went to Brackenberry while they were shaping his riser and got it the way he wanted it.
