I am planning on contacting Jim on building me a longbow.I would appreciate any input on them from some owners.I was also wondering if there is any owners around the Port Huron MI area. Thanks for any input. Bob
Jim's bows are great!! Smooth and very well crafted. Jim is also one of the nicest guys I have met. I would call him and talk to him. He has a new designed riser and that thing is just awesome!
well,I would get one 60" or better. I have a 58" and it will let you know it when at 28". I don't sugest that bow past that. But I will say that the bow is absolutely dead in the hand, very stable and very quick. I Love my firefly and shoot it extremly well.I want anohter set of limbs that are 60#@28" and 62"amo. Bow hits really hard down range too.
Jason is right...I'd not recommend the 58" for draws over 28", the 60" will draw nicely to 29 and change but the 62" AMO, Oh my, smoooooth all the way to 32".
I have a 60", 56@28 beauty that I need to sell to pay for a hog hunt. Zebrawood and macassar ebony. New condition and beautiful. No name on it. I can send pics if anyone is interested...
Bob, call Jim and he will be a great help...his new riser design is sweet! It's called "Route 66"
I own a 60" and 62" both are great even with my 29" draw.
I'd also recommend getting the grip done to fit your hand if you can make the drive.
Thanks for the input.I am thinking about a 64" bow with my 30" draw.I will have to check with Jim to see where he is located,then I will see about making the drive.Thanks for the unput.BOB
What does the new riser look like? I have a AMO 63" with a 50lbs @30 draw. It's so smooth I'm wishing I had a little higher lbs.. might have to get some more limbs : )
Here are some pics of the new riser. My buddy just got this bow on saturday. It is 60" 58#@28 waterfall bubinga limbs cocobolo and actionwood riser. It feels real good in your hand, the grip is more straight than his other risers. He said this is the first one he made like this and now he is going to start making this style.
