Thanks and good shooting,

Dave made me a one piece 60" longbow in March with burgundy dymondwood-grey actionwood w/white spacers-limbs have bamboo core-double carbon & waterfall bubinga veneers front & back.It is a great looking bow & shoots as good as it looks-smooth draw,good speed,w/o any hand shock. I used this bow in our May turkey season & took a 20+lb. 9 1/2" beard,& 1" spurs gobbler.The craftsmanship is great & you won't find anyone easier to work with.Dave really wants you to be satisfied & happy with the bow you order.I'm very pleased with my "Hitman Custom"& would recommend Dave to anyone.

You have one of the nicer sites of most bowyers. I have yet to shoot a longbow but your look great and have me thinking i might need one.

Post by: HMlongbow on July 05, 2011, 06:23:00 PM
This month I am going with a 10% off total price of bow.  I can do a layaway program if you would like and once you reach 3/4 down I will ship bow to you with the honor system and contract that you pay in full under your contract agreement.  The economy right now is tough and I understand so hopefully this will help someone out.
Thanks and good shooting,
Dave

I am finally figuring out the website thing and have posted some pics of stock bows I have in stock.  These bows are shooters and don't be fulled by the little name.  I stand behind what I do and believe in what I do.  Please let me know what you all think about my bows whether good or bad.  I am alway trying to better my craft and to each there own.  
Thanks and good shooting,
Dave

Hello everyone, check out the website "HITMANLONGBOWS.COM" and see the stock bows for sale.  They are some really nice looking and shooting bows.  There is a lefty there for you all lefties and can also make something if there isn't any peak interest.  Remember the 10% off in July and I can do a layaway program for you as well.  Anything that I can do to help let me know and lets make it happen.  
Thanks and good shooting,
Dave

I have personally met Dave and shot his longbows, and not only are they eye catching, but also very Sweet shooters that can really smoke an arrow. To top it off he is a great guy. i would not hesitate to recommend his bows to anyone.

WOW!!!  Awesome looking bows and a cool website.  Whenever I find myself in the market for a new bow your site will get a nice, long look for sure.
Title: Re: hitman custom longbows
Post by: PrarrieDog on July 13, 2011, 12:36:00 PM
I hope calling one of your bows Pronghorn doesn't cause any problems or confusion because Herb Meland has been making
"Pronghorn Custom Bows" for going on three decades.
Yours are nice looking, good luck.
Title: Re: hitman custom longbows
Post by: HMlongbow on July 13, 2011, 05:25:00 PM
It is just a name that I gave the limb profile and has nothing to do with Mr. Melands bows.  These limbs are a hybrid style limb that have great speed and smooth off the fingers.
Thanks for the knowledge and appreciate the interest,
Dave

If any of you are interested in a bow but hesistant to do to me being so new, I can give you some folks numbers and they would be happy to talk with you.  I have been on Archery Talk for the past few years and recently moved to this site do to it being a trad only site.
Thanks and good shooting,
Dave

I have owned two of Daves bows fine fit and finish and with great speed dead in hand. I had his carbon Pronghorn very fast and hits where you look with ease very stable bows and very pretty as well.I have Dave building a new Pronghorn in a light weight bow now one peace I will enjoy this bow Its going to be low 40lb bow.I have seen and shot his bows for two years been very happy.These are some fine custom built bows and Dave is very easy guy to deal with. He makes what you ask for give him a chance you will be pleased!

What draw length is the pronghorn one piece smooth to?
Title: Re: hitman custom longbows
Post by: HMlongbow on July 15, 2011, 12:31:00 PM
I built one for a guy with a 31" draw and was really pleased with his 60" pronghorn.  I shoot to a 29" draw with no finger pinch.  The pronghorn is good to at least the 31" draw and would be on the shooter after that.  If you want I am going to be making a 62" Pronghorn series and just finished the form.  I will be putting one together after a few orders are finished up.
Thanks for interest and good shooting,
Dave
Title: Re: hitman custom longbows
Post by: HMlongbow on July 15, 2011, 12:38:00 PM
CORRECTION ON LAST POST:  The bow I built was for a 30" draw length and not the 31".  Sorry for that and the Pronghorn series is good to that 30" draw and would be on the shooter after that.  
Thanks for the understanding,
Dave
