The "red Dragon" took it's sweet a** time getting here but finally arrived from S.C. this morning.
I am impressed!!!!
The bow looks awesome!!
It shoots as good or better than it looks!!
And best of all... I know it carries the "Sherwood" gene as I was totally transported to yester year in the click of a nock on the string.

God bless,Mudd

Awesome bow and arrows you have there, Mudd. :thumbsup: :archer2:

nice bow Mudd.
-
I like it a lot!!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
-
Real classy looks, how does it compare with a Howard Hill bow.
-
How does it compare?...hmmmm... I think I'll need more time with it to do that question justice.
I know for a fact that this one is on par with the best bows(Hill or Hill style) that I have shot.
The draw weight starts early but is quite smooth all the way back to 28 and more than fast enough to please me.
I'll try to keep your question in mind as I get to know the "Dragon" better.
God bless,Mudd
PS: Note the "Dragon's heart" in the pics...lol

That's a kool name for a bow and in the Years gone by the Red dragon, Was the watcher of the old and to see one was a Gift from the Gods. They where the Hunter of evil and bad dreams.

Mudd, I hope you have it long enough that I can put a few arrows downrange with it. I have talked to Dave several times and my buddy has one of his original bows from when he first started building bows. My buddy just quit shooting it to years ago but it is one of his favorites. Congrats.

The Shaolin Abbot nods approvingly.

Mudd,
Fine looking bow, I almost had him make me one but I went with a Shelton in the end. He makes a great bow. I am glad you are happy with it! Great way to start the new year buddy.
:archer:

Nice bow Mudd!
Please post a detailed review once you've had a chance to get to know her real well. I'm interested in what you have to say about it.
-
I will do that Bud.
Right now I know I need to do some handle work on it. It's just a little larger than is comfortable for me.
I want to shoot it awhile longer before I do anything to it. Who knows maybe I'll adjust to it.
Happy New Year!!
God bless,Mudd

Flint, better hurry....you know how the Muddster is about buying/selling/trading bows. :biglaugh:
Mudd, that sure is a fine looking bow--been looking those Dave Johnson bows over for a while. I shot one years ago when he used to build them--a buddy bought one and immediately ordered another he liked it so well. Hope you enjoy the Red Dragon.
-
Good looking bow, Mudd.
I orderd one from Dave back in july. He made the riser exactly how I wanted it, by using a 1/2" of bubinga with myrtle on top.
I asked him to make the riser 12" from fade to fade, and a slightly dished narrow grip with the belly glass taperd sharply at the top.
Hope you enjoy your red cedar longbow "Red Dragon" a much as I have mine.
Dave asked me what I wanted written on the lower limb, I told him to just write what it is - American semi-longbow.

Hi Mudd and Lambow
I'd like to own one fronm David but he wrote to me he don't ship overseas and it's a real pity; please some more pics and tell me about the cast, hand shock, what type string B50/FF, reflex or string follow; Lambow I'd wish a bow with small riser 12" instead of normal 15" but not many bowyer make it, Dave makes it on demand wonderful.
Marco.
