Title: TallTines Longbow Field Testing
Post by: talltines on October 06, 2010, 10:58:00 PM
I finally made it out to the Iowa timber last Sunday evening to do some field testing with my new 3 piece T/D longbow.  About 1 hr into the extensive field testing session this doe stopped quartering away at 25 yards.  Seconds later and about 50 yards away she crashed in a ditch.  It was a great way to start the season.  The little longbow was pulling 57#'s and shooting cedar arrows with Woodsmans leading the way.

NICE!!! I guess that's the first animal to ever fall to a TT longbow...congrats! I have a funny feeling I'll be owning one of those soon. Good job Brian.

Mmmm mmmm mmmm corn fed backstraps!

That picture shows off the limbs real good.  I don't know how you get such high performance out of such a traditional shaped limb, but I am glad you do    :thumbsup: .

Good work Brian, which kind of saw dust cover scent did you use. Cocobola, Bocote or Yew?

Way to go bud, I was hoping you made it out to get some relaxing time.  I think you need more field testing time don't you?  Ha ha...

Great job!!

What is your depicted TT LB braced at?

Looks fairly high in realationship to the bow length and I don't believe that is short bow.

Great photo Brian, I was just telling stickflinger how I heard how fast and smooth the new long bow is. I may be eating beans and franks for awhile, but I told him mine is going to have snake skins on it. Can't let Steve one up me.

And I suppose you're gonna try to tell us you shot her perfect on purpose too. You're a killin machine that makes a killin machine! BW

Uncle B,

I saw him shoot an elk I called into his lap with a perfect shot....he looked back at me and raised his eyebrows (uncle B) style and said..."I meant to do that..." appearantly he's some sort of great shot...or at least thats what he tells me...But hey man, a 700lb bull at 5 yards...

he does make a great bow though...I still think he's a lil' goofy looking.

Mark,

I am told his LH handles are better than the righties...I find that hard to believe, but it comes from some very reliable sources!  Chimaster above has a LH longbow being built right now.
