Title: Early Christmas Present!....
Post by: snag on December 22, 2011, 12:12:00 PM
Must have been a good boy this year. Santa came early.
I tell you this Allen Boice "Edge" is a real keeper. It has yew veneer limbs with yew cores. I've shot longbows with the foam core limbs, bamboo, etc. The yew with Allen's r/d design stores energy evenly as you draw the bow and it is really a quiet and quick bow. Yep, I'm lovin' this bow.  The bow on the left is Allen's "Contender". It has a mild r/d design with the same veneers and cores. Right now the Edge has a slight.......edge! haha

Nice David. If that contender isn't getting any use, send it south hehe  :thumbsup:

Awesome Snag!

I don't think Santa was checking his naughty/nice list close enough.

Merry Christmas(early) and God bless,Mudd

How does the Edge shoot in comparison to the Contender?  

I have a contender and love it....

Is the edge faster?  

Blessings and Merry CHRIST-mas...

With that much R/D it looks like it would be a rocket launcher. Beautiful bow!

Steve,
  I love both bows. But the Edge is a "rocket launcher". It just seems to be a quicker bow without any difference in the hand.

Allen has created an English and Chief for me.  Great guy with pride in all he does- shoes in every bow in makes.  Hope to shoot that Edge someday

David if you let it visit, it won't want to leave because it will get shot a bunch LOL!  ;)

Nice David!  I never handled one but have only heard great things about his bows.  

Merry Christmas!

Allens bows have always been my reference point when it comes to quality of build. I do not believe anyone, period. has more quality in their workmanship/ Perhaps they approach it but not better. If there is human perfection in craftsmanship he has it.
This design is worthy of that craftsmanship. I bet it is excellence in every way.

BTW David, My son flipped over his new arrows you made.

God bless you all and Merry Christmas, Steve

Tim, you just can't go wrong with a Boice Liberty bow...any of his bows.  But I am really lovin' this Edge!

Steve, you are so right about Allen and his work.

Very glad to hear the arrows made a hit with your son!

Merry Christmas and God Bless,
David
