I had a Lynn Harrelson takedown recurve a few years back and it was a really sweet bow. very well crafted and very quick and stable.

I've got two of Lynn's Kalomis.  One for me and one for my son.  Almost identical.  Great Bows, shoot sweet!  Bamboo backed and bellied, osage core.
Graet craftsmanship!  Can't say enough about him!  Wonderful to deal with.

My Harrelson td recurve is my go-to bow.  I met Lynn back when I lived in Bama.  I also introduced me to Simmons Heads.  Been shooting both every since.  You should go and visit his shop.  All of his bow designs are shooters.

I have a Kolomi with a persimmon core and bamboo on the back & belly. It is a 66" longbow and pulls 54# at 28" draw. Very smooth and fun to shoot. I have been very pleased with it. I have also bought wooden arrows from him (made by his wife). They are the "Auburn" pattern - WAR EAGLE! I recommend his equipment. Also, he is a pleasant guy to do business with.

Lynn is my uncle.  I have 3 of his longbows.  Two are custom made to my specs carbon and bamboo limb cores, the other is a Kolomi all wood.  All great shooters.  I shot one of his new longbows at Tannehill a couple of weeks ago and was impressed.  Very fast and low hand shock.

I have two of his recurves and a Kolomi longbow.  At 8 grains per pound of draw, both recurves shoot 205 fps.  The Kolomi is bamboo with a walnut core.  Very smooth shooting and no hand shock.  Bill
