Title: New to me Mississippi Lake Longbow..WOW
Post by: Gottabow on January 06, 2010, 05:22:00 PM
Hello I thought I would pass this along.  I did a trade with Bowluvinman for a Mississippi Lake Longbow Mark 1 and all I can say is wow.  This bow is extremely quick and very quiet..except for that ping ya get with Carbon.  I do think these bows are a real gem waiting to be recognized..anyone else impressed with these bows?

I had one and liked it well enough, but I got a chance to trade it for a bow from a maker I was really looking for. Mine was quiet, but I only shoot woodies.

When I retired from the Army I had Jim build a bow for me as my gift to me. It has become my "go-to" bow. My other two longbows rarely see the woods.

By the way one of them is listed in the classifieds  :)

I finished one of his bow blanks for my brother.

Well built, quick, and quiet.

It isn't fancy, it just works, and works well.

Jim is great to deal with, too.
