Title: New Bow - Brackenbury Non-Typical
Post by: zwickeyman on April 05, 2009, 02:03:00 PM
Here's some pics of a new Brack and they don't do the bow justice at all.     :thumbsup:      I have never met a bowyer that put more of him into a bow then Bill Howland, great man to do business with and a super nice guy.     :clapper:      This is a sweet shooting and very quiet longbow. This one is 64" 53# @ 28" Zebra and Macasser Riser and Cathedral cut Zebra veneers with Yew cores.

As for the wait, I believe Bill has caught up and has a big inventory of these in the shop.

 :knothead:  Oh, this isn't April Fools?

Actually, I think the wait is 12-14 months, but sure looks like it's worth it.  That's a good one!  :thumbsup:

That's a beautiful bow.  I love my Brack's, a Quest and a Sidekick.  One of these days, I'll add a NT!
