Title: 56 inch R/D longbow
Post by: Dmaxshawn on October 13, 2011, 09:56:00 PM

Hey Gang hadn't put one on here in a while just thought I would show this one off. I might take this one to Nebraska for my Muley hunt in a couple weeks. 56 inch R/D 47 pounds @ 27. 49 @ 28. The riser is just plain ole Cocobolo with Boo cores and the veneers are myrtle. I shot a 525 grain arrow today and the arrow didnt start dropping till i got to 26 yards. I dont have a chronograph so I dont know any numbers. Thanks for looking.

Your "plain" bow is snazzier than my fancy ones! :) Especially like the myrtle veneers. Where did you get them?

I got those from Idaho curt. I get most of my materials from KennyM. Both of them have really nice products.

Thanks for all the kind words fellas.

I'd say that bow is worthy of a Muley.
Very nice :thumbsup:
