The arrows that I shoot out of my 42# longbow are shooting great out of this bow! No complains as that may have saved me some money!

Is that a straight limb bow?  I went to his site and I couldn't tell for sure from his pics.  Oh no, my palms are gettin sweaty, I'm gettin kinda feverish. I'm a Hill style bow addict.

Post by: DannyBows on December 02, 2010, 09:39:00 PM
Yes, Bama Bows are straight limbed.
Title: Re: My new longbow
Post by: BamaBarebow on December 02, 2010, 09:43:00 PM
It is a straight limbed Hill-style bow! The riser wood is Cocobolo with a maple accent strip. Cocobolo overlay strip with phenolic tips.

I'll get a pic of the belly and back plus the numbers and tips!

I really like how my 64" Hunter looks and performs also.

Nice looking bow. Good to know you like yours.

Sent my deposit on a all 68" 50@28  (hopefully the  woods I want for limbs will be coming) Bacote riser with straight grip.

God bless,Mudd

I like the looks of that bow Drew - anxious to see it up close.  I love classic american longbow style.  Hmmm...makes me think I need a new bow!!!

I love my Bama Bow. I ordered a dished grip. He can make whatever you want. Great bow at a fantastic price.

I just got an e-mail with great news. Nate tells me I will be able to have the yew limbs I wanted.

So picture 68" 50@28 yew covered with black glass, matte finish, bacote riser with straight grip.  

The only name on the bow will either be "Newspaper" or "The Newspaper".

I'll let Nate figure out the limb tips (every artist should be able to put something into whatever project he's working on)

I can see it already!!

God bless,Mudd

Welcome to the family!

I swear Ol' Nate's bows are getting better and better. I love that Cocobola!

He's got something special in the works that he is testing right now. I may have something to share with all of you over the holidays.

Just ordered an elite this morning from Nathan. He's a great guy to talk to and will help you with any questions you have. He told me he will have a new 58" R/D bow ready in a couple of weeks.

Thanks for the compliments...had a good shooting session today. I put string leaches on it, and while they may not be the prettiest things, they do work!
