Title: New to me Horne takedown.
Post by: RC on December 07, 2007, 06:34:00 PM
just got a new to me Horne takedown recurve. Got it from Larry in New Jersey.Recurve 50lbs I think is his handle. Promt delivery and a very good shooting bow. I could not get it as quiet as I wanted so I but a dacron string on it and it still is pound for pound as fast as any bow I`ve owned.2020`s with mag I`s fly perfect . I`m gonna bleed something soon Lord Willing. Kinda hard to adjust , I`ve been shooting a 64" homemade longbow so this is kinda like jumping into a sportscar out of an old truck.RC

Hey RC Glad you got it. I like my Horne's TD longbow too.  I also like the G&L bow I got from you. I think we'll both enjoy our (new) bows.
I gotta get time to shoot it more.  I want to make us of the leftover MoJo before it dissapates.LOL

I live ten minutes from Larry. I tortured myself for a week over going to see him and the bow. I was looking for a longbow though and knew if I held it and shot it I'd have to have it, then I'd have to get LB limbs and that was over my budget. I ended up orderng a Wapiti Spike T/D from Keith Chastain.
 I'm glad you got it and like it.

Hey Danny,
You would have been welcome to come up for a test shoot but the drive is a bit longer than 10 minutes from Sayerville. Maybe we could have a get together in the spring and do some shooting.

Larry,
I was thinking that was the Horne's for sale by me in Keansburg. I've been thru Boonton numerous times years ago on a driving job. Nice area. Doing some shooting in spring would be great.
