I said it at Shawn's and I'll say it again...the competition at the Muzzy just got even tougher in the longbow class.

 :rolleyes:    :bigsmyl:    :rolleyes:  

That's a great looking bow, Curt. Can't wait to see you shoot it...

Great reason to come back to longbows!
Title: Re: Been over 10yrs....
Post by: Guru on March 11, 2011, 05:53:00 AM
"What are the woods"... Dark color is Rosewood, the I-beam is Maple, and the over lays are also these two. There's also a strip of what I think is gray actionwood from tip to tip.  Some sort of antler for the tip overlays.

Chris, as far as the Muzzy....that's a possibility    :archer2:

The black rug and plate look great on that nicely sloped shelf.And to think 58",that ought to make any curve shooter fell at home.Have fun Bro.!

Post by: doubleo on March 11, 2011, 05:57:00 AM
Sweet bow Curt! For some reason i didn't know you were a lefty. I just bought myself my first TD longbow. A 58" also.  :archer2:
Title: Re: Been over 10yrs....
Post by: ishoot4thrills on March 11, 2011, 06:08:00 AM
Nice bow Curt. I really like the forward handle and the 58" length.

Great looking bow Curt.

Have fun getting to know it.

Your pictures usually show you with a bow mounted quiver, and there are some really nice ones out there that will compliment that bow.

Happy spring!  :thumbsup:

Post by: lpcjon2 on March 11, 2011, 06:53:00 AM
Curt, That is a sweet lookin bow.How's it shoot with the heavy front loaded arrows?. Is it good enough to convert you to the other side(us longbow boys)and let the curves collect some dust for awhile.   :thumbsup:   Congrats now does Cade have one yet?
Title: Re: Been over 10yrs....
Post by: Friend on March 11, 2011, 07:38:00 AM
Very nice!

ishoot4thrills beat me to the punch.

The forward handle was the 1st feature to catch my eye... a significant desireable feature for me.

Congrats and please share your experience with her.

Randy put together a Beauty there. Congrats Curt. Looking forward to seeing that one in person. Might have to come hang out at the Muzzy with you.

Post by: tradshooter on March 11, 2011, 09:50:00 AM
Real nice looking bow. I like the forward handle and the antler tips and overlays are awesome. I'll bet it sits dead in the hand and is a fast shooter.

What's wrong with this picture?..... Nothin'!  :thumbsup:

Have fun with it Curt... Too bad it's a lefty. Would be just right at 49# for me. At my T-Rex draw that is.

Post by: Rob DiStefano on March 12, 2011, 06:55:00 AM

A new bow in the stable is always a happy occasion! Congratulations, and happy shooting / hunting!

Post by: Guru on March 12, 2011, 08:01:00 AM
Thank you fellas, she is a beaut and I have nothing to do with it....All the credit for this beauty, and craftsmanship goes to TG'er Randy Morin!

So far the relationship is going just fine. Cade and I are going to take our (short    ;)    )longbows for a bowhike today.

I'll get some pictures...

Yup, had lunch with Curt and Cade today and talked a bit about this bow!! I think he really likes her and is gonna give her a go! Maybe a turkey with her one day in may with Cade and I!!!  Hope to get to shoot it with him one day this week! Shawn
Title: Re: Been over 10yrs....
Post by: Guru on March 13, 2011, 06:49:00 AM
You bet buddy...looking forward to it!

I think you'll like this LB. After shooting yesterday, Cade commented that..."I think that's the best I've ever seen you stump shoot".

I don't know about that, but the relationship is going just fine with the new longbow     :pray:

It will look strange seeing you shooting a "longbow"...  Never seen you without your Kwyk Styks in your hand.  

Congrats on the longbow bud!  Enjoy them all I say!
