Title: Monarch longbows?
Post by: Goshawkin on August 11, 2012, 09:08:00 PM
I've got a chance to pick up a Monarch "Royal"
I've never shot one and was curious what anyone thought of them. I'm not sure when it was made or who built it,Byron,Monty or Ron.Who built the best?I'm going to try and take a look at it this week. Thanks. Nick

I visited Chris's shop in Wisconsin when he was building Aspens, but he no longer builds them either.
