Nope, but I'd love to see some pics of one if you do.

just today i recieved a kingfisher t/d longbow. my first impressions are very good. for me the grip is sweet. wicked smooth, very stable (heavy mass riser), quiet, and it seems to throw arrows like a fast recurve. more to come......

I have shot a bunch of T/D longbows , owned a few too. Presently have a Kingfisher and Alpha Male T/D longbow and they are the most smooth in draw , no stacking of all. Ben has mastered the 3 piece longbow IMHO. Thanks , Roy

I have a one piece alphamale and a 3 pc. takedown Kingfisher. Both are outstanding. The takedown is very fast good mass weight beautiful and a deerkiller.
You can't go wrong with one of Ben's bows.LCH

Anyone know the brace specs on the Alpha Male ?

I'm pretty sure that all of Ben's bows need a brace height from 7 1/4" up to around 7 3/4". But I believe he recommends 7 1/4" for everything.

Ben makes some very nice bows. I don't think that I've ever shot one that didn't shoot great...,and I have shot a bunch of them.

2fletch hit it on the head , Ive never shot a Hummingbird that didnt shoot and look great . Ive owned several of Bens longbows and recurves and they are top of the line .

Yea picked this up in a trade (Algha Male) , sounded like it needed more brace and once I put the brace into specs she turned into a different bow.
Played with it today some with a buddy and had some fine bows out along with it.
I can see this bow NOT collecting dust , plus she's just plain pretty.
