Title: Bighorn Legacy Update
Post by: Roger Norris on February 11, 2026, 09:12:03 AM
Bighorn Legacy Update - We have been offering the Bighorn Legacy....our tribute to G Fred Asbell, for about a year now. Sales have been brisk. It feels good to be caught up and have inventory to offerwithout the wait.
It was important to us that we duplicate the prototype provided by Teresa Asbell as closely as possible. We weren't just trying to build a great recurve. We were trying to duplicate Fred's design and build as closely as possible.
This past Kalamazoo Traditional Expo, the Bighorn Legacy was shot quite a bit by Bighorn collectors. The grip, the lines of the bow were inspected and compared to vintage Bighorn bows.
Everyone that inspected and shot our bows came back with similiar comments...."Wow!"..."It feels exactly like my Bighorn!".
We are very proud of that. I knew that the bow shoots great. I was hoping for the approval of the collectors. We are very pleased. More to come!

Used to love my old Bighorn until it became to heavy for my old bones :archer2:

Most of our orders have been for lighter weight than I expected. 38# is popular.

Another odd statistic....of the first 20 bows sold, 1/2 were left handed. :dunno:
