Title: My new 59er replica!! (Pic Heavy)
Post by: GREATBROWNKNOCKEMDOWN on April 09, 2012, 08:22:00 PM
This Is my New Big River 59er replica by John McDonald. Cocobolo riser, purpleheart i-beam, brown glass limbs and overlays. 60 in 44lbs @ 26in. It is way more than i expected. The bow was finished with a textured look by "BigRiver" Brian. H.

I believe that piece of Coco was purchased from Roman Hershberger of Hill Country Bows. I shoulda looked at that piece a little closer   :banghead:

Glad to see it was well used and went home with a great TGer. Beautiful bow GBKD!!

Amazing Rafael, no wonder you ordered a new bow, how could anyone let that piece of wood be anything else.  Everytime I think I'm done buying another bow I see one of your newest bows and get the bug again.  I guess I better shoot one of those 59'rs one of these days.  Congrats on a classic.
