Title: New to me, Robertson LB
Post by: Day Dreamer on August 06, 2010, 03:14:00 PM
I picked this up from a very nice gentleman, she's a 62lbs @ 28 and 64in long take-down. Shoots a 400 beaman ICS with a 100 gr brass inserts with authority. This bow is gorgeous as heck.

Great looking bow!  I have a very similar Robertson Vision longbow, 61#, 64".  It looks like your longbow grip sleeve is set up to facilitate takedown.  Most of them require a certain amount of fiddling before you can take the bow down, which is fine if you rarely need to take it down.  Interesting, I have two Robertson takedown longbows, and have seen others, and every one I've seen has a different grip sleeve.

I shoot a Gold Tip 5575 arrow in mine, cut to 29", with a 20 grain brass weight in front and another 20 grain brass weight in back.  I use 145 grain points or 150 grain broadheads.
