Title: Lone Tree Archery
Post by: Marcus Bratton on September 03, 2008, 06:10:00 PM
First post here, great site. I am trying to get into traditional archery and have been bow shopping for a while. In my search I have stumbled onto a longbow made by lonetree archery. I have searched all over the internet for info on this bow, but have came up with next to nothing. I did shoot the bow, one of several, and liked it the most by a large margin. Asking price was $350, I was hoping someone on here may have owned or shot one in the past. Any info would be greatly appreciated

Marcus, If I am correct the bows were made out of Oklahoma by R.L.Castoe. He is deceased now, but the bows had a following and I heard nothing but good about them. Hope this helps and maybe some others will chime in. Thanks Flint

Flint is correct.  They are sweet bows and I have one that is not for sale.  I heard that one of his sons is going to start making them again, but don't know for sure.

Just wanted to say thankyou to all that replied.
It gave me the nudge I needed. I shot several bows in my search and for some reason this one kept sticking in my mind. Prob did not hurt that it was so smooth and hit were I looked. To bad R.Castoe has passed, it seems he built some very nice bows. Look foward to spending way to much time on this site!

Thanks Again
