Title: I want this Hummingbird bow back- Help please
Post by: OBXarcher on January 25, 2012, 05:13:00 PM
This is a post I made after I got the bow.

I had another one like it made, sold this one and have regretted it ever since. It's 62" 53@29, no name on bow. Sold it to Brittman in NC but he can't remember who he sold it to.

Mods, if you want to move this to the classifieds that's fine.

Any help would be appreciated.

Honduran Rosewood and Bocote riser, limbs are Bocote with bamboo core.

Holy cow !!!!

I see a Hummingbird Longbow on my rack before too long.

I have had several of Ben's bows. I prefer Ben's longbows over the recurves. Ben makes one of the smoothest drawing bows out there.

That one is a looker, very nice!

It is 62" long and 53 @ 29.

Smooth, quiet and fast. Will play with arrows tomorrow to find out the match.

It's pretty but I really want to get it bloody soon.

Glad you got what you want, Ben makes some of the top longbows in the business. I have 3 longbows of his now, Roy

Ben was not the bowyer I mentioned at the beginning of the post.

It is a med grip, feels very much like my bear 1970 A riser.

He had the perfect  limbs in stock, he built the riser for me that's why it was a shorter delivery time.

PatB Ben keeps several bows in stock , you can check him out at  www.hummingbirdbows.com (http://www.hummingbirdbows.com)  . I have owned several of his bows and they all shoot very smooth and they are quite .
