Is your Birdseye Firefly upside down and backwards or a lefty?  

Love the Northern Mist - cannot go wrong with one of Steves bows and his recurves a rare gems

Hey Dave,
Congratulations on the Fireflies and the other beauties, too. I didn't make many recurves. I felt that my T/D longbows shot as fast and were quieter so I stopped making the curves. Those Firefly bows are about 5 years old.

I've was trying to get Jim to build me a recurve and finally gave up.  Now you've got TWO!     :help:      :D

I showed how many bows you got in one day to my wife David. She told me how much she loved me and that I really didn't have a bow buying problem. Then we went upstairs and.....well this would be a good place to stop this post.

Thanks bro!

Oh yeah don't blow your arm out.

All trades T.J. Only spent money on shipping.    ;)

So you're saying you owe me one now, eh?    :biglaugh:

No way I'm telling her that now Brother. Thanks again and yes I do owe you.

Nice bows!

Is the Firefly recurve very different from the longbows?
Thinking about smoothness, hand shock, speed.

I haven't shot one of his longbows yet. The recurve took a little tuning to get the buzz down and quieted, but once you hit the sweet spot, they are fine bows.

I've got a Firefly longbow with two sets of limbs and it is a dandy of a bow...quiet, smooth, and fast.
Congrats on a great group of new sticks, Dave!
