Title: St Joe River Bows Input?
Post by: Arrow4Christ on April 04, 2010, 09:06:00 PM
Hey guys,
Would like to hear thoughts and opinions from those of you who have shot St. Joe River longbows? They look like just the type of design I am looking for plus they said they'd build me a 66" longbow  :)  Would like to hear info on where they shine and how they shoot for you? Also for those of you who have shot carbon vs. not in these limbs, is there a big advantage to the carbon?
Thanks!
Craig

Craig, I got to shoot a couple about 1 month ago. One was with carbon, I liked them both quiet, shock free,smooth, wood combos looked good.I would not hesitate in getting one. Flint

And here is the new one I just got. Righty Recurve 60" 56#@28". Sure is nice to shoot both Left and Right as these two are a joy to shoot. I recommend St. Joe River Bows highly, great artist talent, excellent crafts"woman"ship and great to work with!!!

At 66 inches you will not be capable of missing!!!  Most forgiving bow I've every shot.

Jeez guys! Choice between these and the 21st Century is a tough one...but then again I don't know that I've ever made an easy decision on buying a bow   :)  
Bowmania,
Trust me, if there's a way to miss, I'll find it  :)  lol
