This bow is 55 lbs. @ 29.5 inches. 64 inches long with Bacote and cherry in the riser and bamboo limbs. What a beauty! We chronoed it and it shot a 485 grn. arrow at 184 ft./sec. Not bad for a longbow. As a matter of fact it is 4 ft./sec. faster than my Tornado of the same weight.
Now we are talking! Thanks for da pics.... Ya gotta be loving that one..... Congrats. :thumbsup:
That action-boo under glass don't look bad at all Mike. I gotta give that one a try sometime. :clapper:
Kirk,Thanks, been having fun with this new longbow.I like the amber look of the bamboo under the glass.Although the black glass over the bamboo looks awesome with some risers too. We are going to have a good time at Western States,cant wait.
That cherry and bacote riser is really nice.The whole bow is great.The limbs have great color too.Mike is making a great longbow.Alot of fun to shoot.
Very nice Curlis, that young man will be borrowing that bow and shooting it better than you before you know it. Hope to see ya at the orestimba shoot on the 10th and the 11th.
Ben,
He's a lefty so I think I'm safe. We're going to try to make the shoot.
I have been shooting this bow for a few days now and I have to say that it shoots even better than it looks. I think we are going to be friends for a long time to come. Each day I like it a little more. And it's looks don't hurt it either, what a looker.
That is a great looking bow, Congrats!!!
Nice bow Bill...good luck with it. :thumbsup:
Very nice, love the wood combo!! Congrats!!
Very nice Bill!! :thumbsup:
It's a looker - Good Luck with it Bill!
Bill I bet you can hardly wait to try out that long bow on your up coming hunt.
Thanks guys. Curt, looks like you're going to be playing a little longbow action yourself. Scott,Joe good to hear from you guys. George, hope to see you next weekend.
