Title: McDonald Bigriver bows
Post by: Wudstix on March 15, 2026, 11:18:35 PM
Just thought I'd get some others thoughts on John McDonald's bows, may he Rest in Peace.  I've got a Kodiak clone recurve that was my first custom bow, and still dearly love it.  Have a 21st Century clone radical D/R longbow that still amazes me when I shoot it.   Finally, have a moderate D/R longbow that I got from Don "Ned" Nettleton, prior to his passing.  All these bows are superb specimens and preform better than more expensive versions.  I'm sure there are some others out there who will chime in.

Sorry to hear about Ned,Don Nettleton.We bought and or sold a few bows with each other.
