Title: North Wind "Gem" ?
Post by: RRock on January 27, 2009, 08:00:00 PM

Who builds these bows? I just traded for one a couple weeks ago and this darn bow is a shooter!
60" 52#@28", Curly Maple back and belley, 4 lams of maple in the limb core 3 tapered and one parallel. Riser is a reverse handle and looks to be Ebony and Coco with maybe a Osage strip. Limb tips looks like Buff.
Can't wait to see what it dose with some arras that are correct for it.

Gerry fiegel in NY. A great guy to talk with and outstanding bowyer. I had one of his recurves, but now make my own. He is in the right line of work for sure. I think he still advertises in TBM.

Gerry from Northwind is a good guy.I have shot a friends Gem and I have one of his 56" Kurves. Good bows that shoot very well. His prices are also very fair.
