I had one for a while in my quest for the holy grail...

Good solid bow from a good solid bowyer.  Just was not THE one for me.  I'd buy another for sure.

Had one I bought used. Good shooting bow, quick, quiet and dead in the hand.

Got 2 longbows from Neil.  I can't think of any thing wrong with either one of them.  He is backlogged a bit.  First class all the way.  Good shootin bows!  :thumbsup:

Neil's a great guy and makes a nice bow. I just got my one piece classic its great. I think he got backed up some mine took a little longer than i thought but was worth the wait. He always took time to talk to me and was trying hard to get my bow done.Neil's a one man band can't be easy. He builds a great bow. TD.

Good man - good bows.  He was at the Libby Traditional 3-D shoot last weekend.  Had a good time talking to him.  He had a few bows for show and sells them about as fast as he can make them it appears.

I have one of his Litespeeds with snakeskins and Bighorn sheep tips an exellent little bow with probably the best grip in the Industry.

I picked a TD longbow on the classifieds about a year ago. I absolutely love the bow. The handle with the finger grooves maks all the difference to me. I went through a lot of longbows till I found this one. The only way I would ever part with it is if I had Neil build me a new one.

Neil makes a superb recurve. He is also a great guy to deal with. I have the 56". No stacking at 28" and the grip is the best I have found. Helped me take this antelope last year from my ground blind.

Came by one of his 3 piece longbows via trade. Pulls smooth and is dead in the hand, very unique grip. Can't see ever letting it get away.

Hmmm. very nice guy, pleasure to talk with but.. i tried to buy an instock recurve from him for 2 weeks... 3 phone calls and conversations and he just could not get it to me, or any pics.. he must have been too busy. I would love to own one but.... So i called Mr Pittsley at Predator and he hooked me up with pics and a bow the same day.
