Title: New Kota longbow
Post by: longbow fanatic 1 on July 12, 2010, 03:21:00 PM
I thought I would share some pics of my new Kota Badlands Longbow. It has Bocote limb overlays with a Bocote handle. The limb cores are bamboo and the limb tips are made of sheeps horn. It's 62",#52@28. I am so pleased with the craftsmanship of this bow. Thanks, Tim!!!

Hopefully these pics will upload correctly.

I am a bocote fan and that is a remarkable piece of bocote!!! A beautiful bow!!! I never would have thought that sheeps horn would look that good with the bocote, but it is a beauty!!! Almost to purty to take to the woods!!! Almost!!!

Here you go, Bentpole. Thanks everyone. This is my first Kota bow and I am not disappointed. Tim is obviously an excellent Bowyer. Now if I can just shoot this bow as good as the it looks!

I love that bow!  I call dibs if you ever want to sell!

I have to get one of his longbows!  I'm looking at a 3 piece Nomad with a Bacote riser and Birds-eye limbs.

Very nice bow you have there!  The Bacote is very high grade that is for sure.

I have the exact same bow, same woods except the limb tips are bocote instead. They have a smooth draw and are fun to shoot. Mine is 53@27 3/4". Tim's a nice guy to deal with - Enjoy

Now why would you send that bow over to Michigan? It would just get all scratched up in the UP.
Sorry Oliver, I think it should come back to it's home in North Dakota. It would make a great addition to my bow family- my Shrew and my Kota Prairie Swift.
Beautiful bow for sure!

Bacote is definately one of my favorites and Tim makes one SWEET bow.  Stopped by his shop today and "got the urge"...

I have seen that bow, it was my favorite by far at the Coon Rapids Trad 3D. The Bocote was fantastic, bow is very light in the hand. I have one of Tim's 3 pc T/D nomads but I think I prefer his badlands. Great bow.

I agree. Beautiful piece of bacote and workmanship. I even like Tim's stylish writng on his bows. It shows pride in what he does and highlights his work.
