First post, Got my new longbow today still doing a little tuning but so far she seems promising,no more wheels for me, Nathan crafts a fine bow.

Thanks Guys,it's nice to be onboard cocobolo w/maple buffalo horn tips,I have always shot instictive, with a glove with my compound,so the transition seems to be going alright just a little more weight to hold,I really love the weight of the longbow.#55@27.5 Nate is Great.

Twanger - I know another guy who shot instinctive with a glove when he shot compound. INCREDIBLE traditional shot. Obviously you shoot pretty good yourself! lol

FYI, Nate's strings are 18 strand I think. I switched to a 14 strand B50 Dacron and my bows shoot a lot better. Naturally quieter and zero string vibration.

I had a little with the 18 strand strings and I had to use whiskers. Whiskerless, the 14 strand was quieter. I haven't tried FF and like you I have horn on my limbs. I went phenolic on my Royal.

Also, what is your Brace Height set at? My Hunter's loved to be between 6.5" and 6.75"

Nice bow and target, keep the target out of the sun, or it will fall apart pretty quickly. Thats my only "complaint" about them.

LimbLover- Brace is 6.5 And I do get a fair amount of string vibration maybe I will switch to 14 strand, love the bow!
