I just took delivery about 3 weeks ago. This is a dream come true. Seems like everyone chases after the Holy Grail of bows, for me this one is it! My 60" Mentor limbs on a New Wallace B-Model Mentor riser at 15" gives me a very awesome weapon at 56". Shoots like a dream!!! Beautiful to boot!! I just had to share this. Give Wes a call soon, when word gets out I think he's gonna be busy!
Very nice!Certainly adds alot of versatility in bow length if you have 2 risers.
Funny I talk to Wes yesterday about this rumor. Looks neat I have a gray stealth with two sets of limbs. How much did the draw weight go up on the short riser? could he use his long limbs on the short riser to get to 60" bow. Heres what I think I order a gray partner short riser long limbs 55#. witht he two risers and 3 sets of limbs I could build 2 60" bows 2 56" bows and 1 64" bow. and based on what I know about bow design I would have 3 ways to hit a 55-60 60" bow 1 way to get a 64" 45 pounds or so and a 56" about 67pounds. that would be .Oh by the way my current wallace is 60" with 60# limbs and 54# limbs
Thank You! It is so stable, quiet and confidence inspiring. I was nervous about going short even though I wanted to very badly. I had a Black Widow at 58" once, it was a nice bow and a great shooter but it was not forgiving when I wasn't perfect. This bow feels as good as if it were my 19" risers. I can't find the words to explain how happy I am. If I had to have only one bow, this would be it, no doubt about it.
My limbs were 60#@28" on the 19" riser. He scaled the limbs at 61# on the 15" riser. I have 62",64" and 66" limbs as well. Don't think I havn't pondered what it would be like with the longer limbs. I would encourage you to try it, I am so pleased and happy I did. He work is flawless and he has nailed every expectation every time.
She looks a sweet babe!!
Gret looking bow...
That is one of the prettiest Wallace bows I've seen. I personally prefer shorter bows, but I have a fairly short draw length, 26-27". I do shoot longbows and selfbows but really like the looks of recurves, If I was to get one it would be in the 56-58" length at most.
That has some very nice wood, glad to hear it shoots as good as it looks.
It isn't on his site yet.
Very nice buddy! Now we have to get toghter in person so I can see this beauty close up :readit: :thumbsup: :clapper: :clapper:
Anyone else with a B-model Riser from Wes?
Talked with Wes today. Word is starting to spread about his B-model and requests and questions are starting to become regular. Everyone so far with a B-model Mentor absolutely loves them as much as me. I'm so glad he gave in to the pressure he was getting from some customers to build one.
Sweet bow with some gorgeous woods.
I have always liked the Mentor but I was never a fan of the long riser, it looks like he hit a home-run with this offering, it looks great too!
Have only heard great things about your bows Jason. I hope to try one some day.
I'm glad to here about the shorter B riser. I really like the shorter bows. That is one sweet looking bow.
beautifull how long of wait to order his bows?
About 7 months
I see you got the riser and it looks GREAT. :bigsmyl:
I like the 15" riser length, but I can't shoot a short bow because I have a 30" draw length. Anything under 64" gives me a case of finger pinch. This is why I prefer shooting a 66" bow. With his new 15" riser, that would leave me with a 62" bow. No joy for me. Now, if Wes could make a 66" bow with a 15" riser, that would make me sit up and take notice immediately.
Night Wing you do have a long draw forsure. I am amazed at the lack of finger pinch for this 56"er. Why? I don't know why, I don't understand the lack of percieved pinch. I don't mind a 60" bow as for the pinch compared to say a 64". That being said the 56" feels very much the same for the amount of length difference. I would consider purchasing a B-model riser and give it a try, if you didn't match up well I'll bet you would have no problem finding a buyer for it. If it didn't work I don't think the experience would cost you that much. If you liked it, it would be worth it's weight in gold. For you it sounds like it might be love it or hate it. But if you love it as much as I love mine it would be hard to pry it from your hands. With all that working limb it seems so amazing! It seems as though I still have a 19" riser as other than a smaller sight window I can't tell. If your looking at what your shooting at that peripheral part doesn't bother me. Just my two cents. I have 3 Wallace curves and 3 Wallace longbows, I would'nt sell any of them, if for some reason I had to part with them, the B-model riser would be the last to go is what I'm saying. What it offers me is a do everything bow that doesn't suffer in anything. Again, just my opinion for what it's worth.
