Title: My New Longbow
Post by: OS on November 29, 2010, 02:14:00 PM
Just got my new longbow from St. Joe River bows! what a sweet shooting bow!! The most forgiving and quickest bows I have ever shot!! I could shoot 3 inch groups with my 535 gr. Carbons and my 700 gr. Cedars with field point and my big 160gr snuffers(215 with insert)!!! With out changing a thing in tuning.  What a Great Bow!!!   :archer2:

I can't wait to get her into the woods!!!  now the issue I'm having is that it shoots all the arrows I have so well I don't know what one I want to shoot :-)What a terrible problem to have being able to shoot any of the hunting arrows I had made up,  I am still truly amazed that all of them shoot right there without changing anything!!  And thanks guys it really is a beautiful bow!!

That is a beautiful bow, congrats. Never shot a St.Joe River bow, if it shoots as good as it looks, she's a keeper.

Those St. Joe River Bows appear to suffer from lack of exposure.
