Post by: Flatshooter on September 03, 2020, 10:22:43 PM

Ordered a Great Plains Traditional "A" model longbow about 2 weeks ago. Specs are 62" 47# @ 28'. Shane called today to let me know he started the build. Riser will be cocobolo and Birdseye maple. Natural bamboo limb veneers and polished black horn tips.
