Title: MBA Long-Curve
Post by: TURKEYFOOTGIRL on March 04, 2012, 08:21:00 PM
Almost a year ago my wife and I were the winning bidders of the coveted "long-curve" the Montana Bowhunters Association auctions off each year.  This bow is a one of a kind, with one limb being a recurve limb and one being a longbow limb.  With a shelf cut in on each side you can shoot either a recurve or longbow depending on your mood that day.  We had an awesome year shootin with this bow.  I was able to shoot about a thousand stumps 25 cow pies and one unlucke squirrel from the top of a tree.  Hopefully we will see some of you at this years convention at the end of the month and one of you will be lucky enough to take this bow home for a year.

Never have I seen a bow with two different kinds of limbs on it like that....unique to say the least.  I really like the We Are Marshall shirt.  I am in WV. My grandson is a Marshall student.  :thumbsup:

Yep it is a unique bow.  It was made as a joke, but it has raised a lot of money for the montana bowhunters over the years.
 My wife grew up in Lincoln county W.V. before headin for big sky country.

Like others have said, I've never seen a bow with one recurve limb and one longbow limb.

BTW, very nice photos.    :thumbsup:

That bow cracks me up, can't wait to see it in Butte at the end of the month. Definately a great way to raise money, and you actually killed something w/ it. Nice job!
