wow. Beautiful. What more can be said. Wow
oyea!
it draws soooooo smoothley!!!
i cant believe how fast it is and the shock is unbelievably unoticable!
still need help figurin out the bowyer,
help guys!!
Exactly what fisher said, what a downright bangup job, especially for your first one!!!!!!!!!
wait!!
do you guys think i made this!?/
lol
Yeah, that's bocote alright! Looks like you made a great choice. Have fun.
You got a sweet lookin' bow there. I like the design in the riser, and those Bocote limbs are sharp. Great natural camo too. I just started shooting longbows this year also. I got two 56" hybrid longbows and can't put them down. Haven't shot any of my recurves for months.
Good luck with her!
very nice bow , congrats :0)
Sorry I am a horrible reader, bangup job picking a longbow that is...LOL
Nice looking bow whatever the woods are
thanks guys!!
any idea who the bowyer may be?
:clapper: great looking bow :clapper:
one more thing i might add about the bow, which I've never seend on any other longbow, limbs are shaped like a trapazoid.
thanks

Trapped limbs are fairly common on longbows. Some are narrow on the back and some on the belly. I'm not sure why, perhaps the materials make a difference. My Kanati has trapped limbs as well, but yours is not a JK bow. Sorry, I can't tell you who did make it.
Very nice looking bow though!
beauty for sure...looks like a Berry bow except for the normal tips... :) very nice.

hey bob I checked out berry's bows!
i think we have a winner!
I say that because I'm lookin at the lines his Renaissance bow has in its riser,
they are just the same as my longbow!!
thank you!
still not a hundred percent sure though lol!
though the tips are kinda of a throw off!
that is a very nice longbow. I really like the looks of lonbows. i am looking abotu getting one some day. i shoot a recurve. "very nice"!!!
I guess it helps to have owned about every bow made... :) James Berry used to make bows with "normal" tips like that...It seems like my favorite Pit/Pin Viper was a lot like yours. If it had been less than 70# I would still own it.
You have a nice one there.
