Title: Thinks some of you lefties may have missed out.
Post by: pdk25 on December 02, 2010, 09:45:00 AM
Got a great deal on this MOAB here on the classifieds.  Barry Loving sold this to me at around half the cost of a new one.  Got it in the mail yesterday and got home from work just in time to fling some arrows with it.  Pretty quiet and a real comfortable grip.  It is 60" and 54# @ 28".  I'm drawing it a little over 29".  Just shot the same arrows that I shoot out of my 56# RER vortex.  Arrows grouped pretty good for a first group.  I'm reserving judgement, but pretty pleased so far.

Thanks for rubbing in my face Pat. I was hoping for a lil heavier otherwise you would have not gotten it..I was even think about buying for when I'm older in my 60's..  :bigsmyl:  

Shoot it well....  :archer2:

Same shafts. I think I cut them downtown 30"and re-fletched them in colors for the seeing impaired.

Pat,

Nice score and looks like you shoot it well.  I was looking at this one really hard when Barry brought the price down!  Congratulations.

Thanks, but that doesn't always last. I usually concentrate a little better when shooting a new bow.

MOAB's are right at the top when it comes to R/D longbows and Jim Reynolds is a standup bowyer. A good price on his bows is a no brainer.  Congratulations.

I always loved the grip on my MOAB and it was an awesome shooting bow.  I owned one with my name on it (matter of fact I owned it twice) and still miss it sometimes.  One of those I probably should have kept.  That one and a 66" Massie Longhorn with Bob Moon's name on it.  Over the years I have owned 3 bows with Bob's name on them and didn't buy any of them from him directly.
 Congrats on your new bow!

I also thought about it, but found a Griffin about the same time and decided to go that route!
