Guys,

I wish I had the know-how to build this!  This is the start of my John McCullough 59'er I have been waiting for.  3 Years in the making, but I'm up now!

forgot your name was up on his list!

Glad he was willing to build you a 59er.

I hope it was OK to post the pics.  I didn't think about it til just now.  John is working on mastering the computer!

I'm glad he's agreeable to the 59'er.  This bow is going to be awesome!

I see plenty of grain and nice tight glue lines. Great stuff!  The name, catskill, is neat too.

Post by: Catskill Longbow on December 09, 2011, 08:08:00 PM
I have to admit I sold both my longbows to finance the 59'er. I either have to change my name or acquire another longbow!

Trade you any one of my longbows for your 59er    ;)     ;)     :goldtooth:

Thanks Charlie, but in a day or two I don't think I'll be missing them! They were pretty much collecting dust anyway.  I've been trying to make myself a better shooter by using only 1 bow, so for the last couple of years it has been my K-Mag.

But that's soon to change.......

Sorry for the poor camera skills.  The grain in the wenge is alot more pronounced than it appears in the pics.

Post by: Longbow917 on December 13, 2011, 08:10:00 PM
Awesome bow Catskills.  What about the 59er drew you in vs the shrew type design.  The handle looks to be the same.... Just curious!
Title: Re: -NEW McCullough 59'er PICS ARE HERE!
Post by: Cyclic-Rivers on December 13, 2011, 08:12:00 PM
Ken, that bow is very nice.

please note, the trade for a longbow is still on the table   ;)    ;)    (just in case).

Somehow I think the 2 of you will get along nicely.
Title: Re: -NEW McCullough 59'er PICS ARE HERE!
Post by: Catskill Longbow on December 13, 2011, 08:31:00 PM
As Starkist always said "Sorry Charlie!".

I can't wait get set up and start shooting it.

Longbow-I had a Griffin (Shrew type) and liked it alot. I've also always liked the look of a fine recurve.  My final decision was based on the fact that there are alot more Griffins and Shrews around than 59'ers.  There is a little more mass to a 59'er which to me just feels better, and that grip is awesome on either bow.

Post by: Catskill Longbow on December 13, 2011, 09:16:00 PM
Izzy, John calls the I-beam figured maple.  It is sweet in real life! Lots of depth, looks 3-D.

It's actually too nice for me-I'm going to be afraid to take it out in the woods! It's like having a new truck and worrying about when your going to get the 1st scratch.
