Title: New Bow Pics
Post by: Fletcher on April 19, 2008, 07:35:00 PM
This is my "new to me" Robertson Stykbow Vision longbow.  62" and 55 lb at my 26", just what I've been looking for.  Handle riser is cocobolo and limbs are bamboo with really nice juniper veneers and horn tips.  Very quick, quiet and gentle.  She doesn't seem too fussy about arrows either, altho she'll be getting some new ones soon, maybe some pretty fir shafts to compliment the juniper.  Thanks Eric!

Looks nice. Is that some the highly figured juniper that he uses? I think that veneer is the best looking of all that I've seen. Hap

Congrats on the new to you. I like it when someone else takes the depreciation myself.

Thanks guys.  I figured I was going to like this bow and I was right.  Even at my 26" draw she handles 600 gr arrows very nicely.  Yeah Hap, the juniper is really nice, more red like cedar and lots of character.  Some of my bows get names and I think she will find one soon.  Rick
