I recently aquired a 60" Snowshoe Hybred Longbow. Wondering if anybody has any experience with one.
I have 2, both 52", one is 55@28 and the other is 57@27. Both are Bear Paw Snowshoe models. I asked the same question you've asked and was told the bowyer was from Illinois or Indiana, but I don't know that as fact. Mine are both nice shooting bows, I don't worry about drawing more than 28", they really stack. I shot my only bow killed turkey with the 57 #er. The 55 #er was painted flat black when I bought, the seller had the same idea I did, a pop up turkey bow.
Only have photos of th 57 #er.

I owned one and should have never sold it :(

Got this from another site:
"Snowshoes were built by Terry Obal in Wolverine Michigan and prior to that he was somewhere in Montana"
Thanks, mine is the Wilderness Spirit. I know Jay's Sporting goods in Gaylord, MI used to sell them. It's only 15 miles from Wolverine. They are nice bow's. Mine stacks pretty hard at 29-30 inches. It is a bow that tought me to perfect my form as it is touchy. Light and shoots where I point it though.
I have a 58" Yukon 59 @ 28. I bought it used, I saw it and just had to have it. It has antler overlays on the tips and riser.
Very fast bow and pretty smooth even with a 29" draw.
