I've been wanting to shoot one of these for a while. Last week I spoke to Chris, gave him my info and this came in the mail today.She's a try before you buy takedown longbow. Padauk riser,maple limb cores,osage limbs, 62"s with a 15" riser,48#s at 28"s. I grabbed a handful of carbons and took her for a ride. I have shot and owned a bunch of bows but the riser on this one fits like it was molded to your hand.Fast, quiet, smooth to draw, and no hand shock. How does it shoot? Check out the pictures.

Quality workmanship and Chris is a true gentleman to deal with. The bow is very impressive and priced right. I might have to get a partime job now.Lewis Hollow Bows is also a sponsor here.
Nice bow
I have two Lewis Hollow bows. A 1 pc recurve and a 3 pc longbow. I am not sure there is a better deal for a custom built 3 pc long bow.
Bentpole- you are absolutely right-"Chris is a true gentleman."
I am lucky to call him a friend as well!
Enjoy shooting that thing!!!If I were you I'd try and buy and then order another ;)

Merf, your a lucky man. Chris makes an awesome bow. I forgot to mention we Trad Gangers get an additional 10% off.
Hard to put this bow down.
Those bows are shooters for sure and alot of quality bowyers in the state of OHIO .
Tom,
Nice looking bow! She's a bit powerful to be able to knock that big maple tree over in your yard! LOL
Larry
You coming over to try her out? Call Reiner too.I'll make coffee.
Nice looking bow Stiff Rod....good luck with it.
i've got one on order it should be in sometime around the end of april and i can't wait.
Me and the boys put her through the paces today. Bucky's supposed to start a thread with pictures. Joe Skipp she's a try before you buy bow.

Joe,
I have always told Chris that his pictures dont seem to do the bows justice. Your pictures do! I always enjoy seeing your photos! Those are outstanding!
merf
Wow nice pictures Joe! She can shoot too can't she? I'm going to hate to send her on her way.
Just spoke to Chris.Of course he was in the shop building bows. I told him I regret to send her back but she'll go back tomorrow. Thanks again Chris!
You're welcome Tom, anytime it's my pleasure
Chris
