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.

Nice bow looks great.
Sweet looking bow - nice shooting too!
Cool! You're just pulling our leg on the "still doing a little tuning" right? Please say yes..lol
I don't shoot that good when I am tuned..lol
Thanks for sharing. Good looking longbow.
God bless,Mudd
Ya, if your shooting that good after just giving up the wheels, the animals are in big trouble! :scared:
Oh and very nice looking bow too. Congrats :thumbsup:

Welcome to the family - both Trad Gang and Bama!!!
Awesome bow! I've got two hunters of my own and a Royal on the way.
What woods did you pick?
You will love that bow I have a Hunter and a Royal in the making! Nate is a great guy, he is up and comer!
Nice bow and nice shooting.congrats!
I have a hunter as well. Nate does build a nice bow. Congrats, I hope you enjoy the journey!
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.
Beautiful bow and good shooting!
Very Nice !! Are you shootin FF string on her or B50 ? Thanks ...
Shooting a B50 right now,but I may go FF I had Nathan use buffalo horn so I could shoot a FF.
Very sweet nice group
Thanks much, if ya go FF please let us know how it goes ... Good luck with her, love the profile ...
Forgot to ask, does this Bow have a touch of string follow or back set to it ? Thanks Again ...
No I don't think so, fairly straight unstrung,I thank you all for the comments this is an awsome group of people.
Welcome aboard & have fun ...
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!
You'll notice a big difference I think.
Nice bow and good shooting.
