Post by: joe vt on January 31, 2007, 04:17:00 PM: thanks!

i know i have some strung pics but can't find them. i'll tell ya though, it's an awesome shooting longbow. it handles just like my recurves.

anyways, here is a pic of someone elses crow creek. it was THIS pic that made me call elmer. elmer made two bows identical in the wood combination. when i called him and told him i had just seen a awesome looking longbow with bocote and ebony, he said he had another one just like it. so i bought it!

Post by: BMOELLER on January 31, 2007, 05:10:00 PM: Does Elmer make a recurve? About how much did that bow cost, if you don't mind me asking.

Also, where does Elmer live?

Post by: JC on January 31, 2007, 06:14:00 PM: Norb (beachbowhunter) sent me one to shoot some time ago. Very nice bow. If my rack wasn't full and my pockets empty from two still on the way, I'd be sorely tempted to order one of his. And I'd be tempted again to have one made just like Joe's....that's a looker for sure Joe!

Post by: benderofwood on January 31, 2007, 08:56:00 PM: You can also buy his bows at Archers Advantage in Little Rock Arkansas; phone # is 501 663 2245; I have been to Elmer's shop and he lives in Forrest City Arkansas; the shop in Little Rock has a very large inventory of his bows along with many others bowyers as well; if you call, you will want to talk to the owner, Gary; very nice and very knowledgeable on traditional equiptment;

Post by: vermonster13 on January 31, 2007, 08:59:00 PM: Yes Elmer makes a Recurve. Not as many of them out there though. His risers sell for $350, at least if you let him choose the combos an I have yet to see him make one that wasn't a looker. If you ever get to see his private collection for family and friends, your jaw will break your toes when it hits the floor.

Here's my bow break down in price.

Exotic 2-wood combo: $675
Bamboo core: $40
Ebony was extra $$
