Title: Big East recurve
Post by: indianalongbowshooter on August 14, 2008, 01:07:00 PM
Anyone ever own a bow they cant get to bareshaft, this bow is only the 2nd one out of about 40 that I cant get to bareshaft anything since I started bareshafting bows...it shoots a fletched 29.5 in. 2016 very good but bareshafting it looks like a snake going to the target, so far have tried 2115,2114, 2018,2016,2117 and 35/55`s..all with point weights from 125-250 gr.... 2108 is the only thing that even came close and it was still pitiful looking going to target.
Bow is 60 in. 56@28 but scales 54.90 on my scale, being drawn just over 28.5 in., its shooting a 500 gr. 2016 189 fps. All my other bows bareshaft perfect but they also have homemade elevated rest on them, cant put one on Big East as it has a small one built  into the wood of the rest, also has a bump built into wood on strike plate...bow hands down has the best grip of any bow Ive owned period even the Fedora.Posting some pics and if anyone has owned this bow please tell me what you were shooting and at what draw length...Ive put a new TS-1 string on bow and moved limbsavers to the fades where they belong...sorry for the long winded post.

Mike was very talented but his business and  people skills were sadly missing.  He left some very angry customers when he skeedaddled.  Pop and brother build fine bows as well and are class folks for sure.
