These are outstanding TD LB's.  I was down at Bob's Thursday picking up my second Blueridge S/R. They're all I shoot now.  Quiet, very fast, extremely smooth drawing, and Bob's slender riser design fits my hand and shooting style perfectly.  Great father/son team who do outstanding work.  

Only a few days left until the end of his Christmas sale, and I left a few on the rack for ya!

I haven't shot one, but have been wandering about them also. The limb design looks like it would make a quick shooter. How far are you drawing the shorty TD Rob??

I have a Blueridge SR longbow and its one awesome shooter.  It's almost too pretty to hunt with but I may take her to the woods one day.  The bow is very smooth and whisper quiet.  Bob and Zack are fine folks and would do business with them any day.  These bows shoot exactly where your looking too.  Wish I was closer to you so you could try it out.

Hard to go wrong with a Sarrels bow. I've really enjoyed the ones I've shot....all around 50# and smooth and fast.

I see you list a Toelke in your signature. I also shoot a Toelke as my go to bow. One thing you'll notice is the grips are a bit different between the two bows.....Sarrels has a thinner riser.

Big Sarrels fan although I've never owned one. Stellar customer service & some very fine looking/quality bows (especially longbows).

Jason - I draw 28", but I can honestly say the 58" bow has room to spare in this department.

I shot with Rob Green and Kevin Davis, today.

Kevin tried to steal Rob's Blueridge. Rob had to shoot him with David Bishop's shotgun to get the bow back.

Nah, just fooling. However, Kevin (Kestimator) wants that bow!

What Rob said is right on!!!! My Blueridge (mine is the long riser) is my go-to bow.

Kestimator - I still can't figure out why you tried to run off with that bow when I had Bishops competition Blaser shotgun in my hands.  As you won't probably be able to sit down today, why don't you call Bob on your cell and talk about what he's got in stock.    :laughing:

Bisch and Rob,

I fear that I may have mislead you guys a little into thinking that I'm a high-roller.  I can see where that mistake could easily have been made with me showing up to the shoot with that vintage stable of bows (which if placed on an auction site, could probably net me somewhere in the range of $200 for the lot) and yes....I was sporting two quivers....so it is no wonder that your first suggestion for me would be to call up Bob and custom order a match to Rob's (almost my bow...ouch!..I just tried to sit in a chair without a cushion...honestly Rob..I didn't think that David would be passing a loaded gun around.) bow.  I much prefer to take advantage of some bow-trade-a-holic (yes...I'm comfortable preying on my own kind LOL!) or catch Bob at a mathematically challenged moment and then make him honor the outlandish "sale" quote that he has just whispered to me.  Bob doesn't always whisper quotes sometimes he will just hold up the price slyly by extending the number of fingers (equating his sale price) that he is willing to accept from me on that day.  One time I thought I had him down to one hundred dollars for a bow, but I was mistaken...anyway that's another story.  Where were we???   Oh yeh..I do believe that the BRs are worth there full price, but if I allow myself to just start ordering up custom stuff, I'm going to ruin the local market for us tight-wads.  Besides, Bob's not hurting for money.  I've been to his shop and did you know I saw three quivers hanging on the wall!  Yes!  Three quivers!!     :)

This picture won't go down as the "best composed" shot for 2011 but this is the cocobolo riser on my second BRSR.  The limbs are Canary wood with bamboo cores.

Holy smokes, do those risers look comfortable...

Green, what is your draw length? I see you have a couple and was wondering if you notice any diff between the two lengths?
Title: Re: Sarrels Blueridge 3 piece.. Thoughts???
Post by: Green on December 24, 2011, 08:41:00 AM
I draw 28" Mitch.  I shoot the same arrows out of both bows....30" Beman Bone Collector's when I'm shooting carbons, both with 145 gr. points and the aluminum inserts.

As for the length, I feel no difference due to Bob's extremely efficient limb design.  No finger pinch and there's not enough of an angle change to mess with my site picture or point of impact....can pretty much pick up either one and have a blast.

The only real difference between the two is the extra weight of the cocobolo in the 47# riser.  Both are very stable at full draw, but the cocobolo is just more so...lol.
