I did something yesterday I said I'd never do again - order a new custom bow!
I swore 'em off two years ago when I decided to build up a Bear collection from the 1950's, but the one one Bear bow I really want, Bear never actually made! :D
Enter Brandon at Rose Oak Bows and his new Companion longbow! :bigsmyl: I was waiting (along with many others) for Brandon to offer a longbow and what he came up with is perfect for me! The long riser and heavily reflexed limbs look like what the '59-60 Polar should have evolved into.
So in a few months there'll be a long package at my door with the bow that's been in my head for two years waiting to be shot. Cocobolo slabs sandwiching a bird's eye maple I-beam, the riser trimmed in purpleheart like the old Kodiaks, brown glass, and gracefull lines in the 64" longbow.
My one fear is that I'm going to have to get a matching Ocelot recurve. I'm on Brandon's list now, so everyone else feel free to check out his website and order a bow :biglaugh:
Now I have to decide which of the old Bears need to move off the rack!["[dntthnk]"]("graemlins/dntthnk.gif" "\"\"")
