Maybe. I had three longbows made by John Sherman, Jr. All were a reflex, Hill style bow. I bought mine directly from John. He built bows on a limited basis for himself and some friends and customers. He never built them on a large scale.

I still have one of the bows. Mine is a 66" 61@28 longbow. Mordillo riser, bamboo limbs, a strip of carbon on the back under Pau Ferro veneers. The finish isn't great anymore but it shoots really nice.

I had two sleeve style takedowns that I wish I had never sold. One was a 67", 74@28.5 bow. The other was 68" and 68@28. Both had black glass bellies, carbon on the back, sleeve takedowns.

Did you find one or are you selling one?
