Craigs info is right on. They are made by Jim Martin and in my opinion are one of the best kept secrets in traditional archery. I shoot both his longbow , which is a mild R/D cocobola and osage and his recurve, which is a bamboo-limb cocobola and zebrawood repro of a '57 kodiak. Fastest recurve I have ever shot.

Well... I guess I better get my next one before these bows start getting too well known. They are awesome.

Hey Paul, you're right the Mahantango recurve is an awesome shooter, but I'm a longbow guy. And thanks to you I've been shooting this one for the past year.
