Title: New Longbow! (shooting pics added)
Post by: LongbowGuy83 on January 11, 2010, 10:03:00 PM
Hey guys. I tried to not post this but I'm really happy to have this bow so I can't help myself. It is a Cold Mountain Longbow here out of NC. It is a coco riser with leopardwood limbs. It's 60" long and pulls 60# @ 28". I shot it this last weekend at our club shoot and it shoots extremely well. Very quick. I had the privilege of assisting with the build mostly sanding and what not but it was a blast and I learned a good bit. Those arrows are my first dozen by my own hand. Amd the quiver is from Mudd himself. And the bow sock is from my ma and pa. They asked me to come by for a suprise and it was a double thick fleece bowsock. Really nice.

Hey Sweka, guy's name is Bill Stroupe out of Dallas NC. Might can get a couple pics of his different bows. Several guys on here have them. No website as he doesn't want to be swamped with work, does it because he loves it. If anybody wants info, pm me. Great prices and shoot great. Or awesome. Whichever.

Tim, sorry man. Did I tell you how good that pie was? If your a righty, the bows waiting to be shot by you. See ya buddy

Bill also makes great arrows.  I bought some dipped arrows (red just like yours) for my Treadway bow a couple of years ago.  Thats a pretty bow!  And I'm sure that it shoots as good as it looks!

He watched me like a hawk pardon the pun, while I made those arrows. He's a good guy.

I like the thickness of the grip. We sanded bit by bit on that grip until it felt just right.

Well guys it's rainin like the devil here so I did a little indoor shooting. The bow's doing really good, while I'm trying to. About 15 yds. Not good to some of you but to me it's pretty good. Need some cold, clear days to get outside. Second pics from last week at about 20 yds. I'm slowly getting better.
