Title: Just got my Roland Jenkins longbow PICS
Post by: old bucky on September 01, 2012, 05:31:00 PM
Just recieved my Roland Jenkins Longbow, it's 62" 44# @ 25" Left handed ( The Right Side). The Riser woods are Bacote and Osage, the limbs are Fiddleback Anigre ( not sure what that is?). It shoots like a dream and the wait time from order till the bow was in my hand was just 5 weeks. What was really cool was Roland and Ken Denton delivered the bow to my house.  Enjoy the pictures......Sam

I like the wood combinations and it sure looks like it's a shooter. What's the grip wrap? Is that pig skin, buffalo?

That is a good looking bow.  Congrats.  I'm sure you'll enjoy it for years to come.

I am not familiar with that bowyer.  Does he have a website?  I'd like to check out more of his stuff.

My go to bow is Roland's longbow. I have been shooting my last one from him for 8 years and it has stacked up a lot of good bucks. His longbow handle design is the best.
Also his longbows are double carbon!
