Well, most who know me know that I'm a recurve guy. Well I've only been able to find one longbow that I can shoot as good as my recurve. (Now I've found 2) Jim Reynolds hunted with us last fall and we had this same discussion. He said "Heck Mike, I can build ya one that will shoot the same". And that he did. Got this about a month ago and haven't been able to post cause I've been trying to break it in right. Well the does aren't cooperating so here are some pics.
It's 60"MOAB 53@27. Osage handle with eucaliptus veneers on the limbs. The shelf is cut past center so I can shoot them the same. I even use the same arrows as my recurve with just a tip adjustment. A beauty to say the least. Enjoy!

Jim makes an excellent bow!! It's smooth, quiet, and spits an arrow. Not to mention absolutely gorgeous! Thanks Jim.
Mike
Nice looking bow Mike! never shot a MOAB, but heard nothing but good things about them! Have fun with it!!
Very nice!!
CVongrats Jim,very nice bow, I really like those limbs and tips.
Yes very nice, I love those limps too. have fun!
Great Hunting bows....so quiet!
Never heard a bad word about one of Jim's bows and that looks like a nice one.
Great bow! Jim makes the best!
Real nice, i really like the limbs.
Lovely, enjoy breaking her in!
Nicw looking bows,nice limb veneers,congrats!
Because of the woods I thought it fitting to have Jim put the name on her. This one is engraved"Devil Dog".
I'm hoping that Jim makes it to Jeff City this yr and that he hauls at least one low poundage MOAB that I can test fire. Yours looks great BTW. Congratulations!
God bless,Mudd
I like the osage! enjoy!
Really like the wood combination,very pretty bow
I really like the riser woods you have chosen, that is sharp !

once you go long bow,,,,
That bow is sweet,Just wrong handed
You got yourself the Cadillac of longbows. I own 2 MOAB's and they are a sweet shootin bow for sure. The only flaw I was able to spot on your bow was the shelf, its cut on the wrong side of the bow. Enjoy it, it will be everything you hope for and more.
Did he do something else besides the center shot riser?
Very nice looking bow. Congrats on your new stick! :thumbsup: :clapper:
I thought the MOAB was a recurve when I first looked at the picture-even the first time I shot one too! :) A truly nice bow! Enjoy! :thumbsup:

Nope, he just cut the riser past center. Maybe Jim could get on here and tell his little secrets. Or maybe not. :bigsmyl:
