Title: New long bow
Post by: oldgrouch on October 15, 2012, 05:56:00 PM
I finally got a custom made long bow.
50" @ 28" AMO 72". Bamboo/yellow wood limbs with purple heart.

Local Texas maker Russel Anderson, I bought it at Santa Fe Archery.

Must say it is different, you don't hold it right and it'll smack yer hand. Do it right and it is sweeeet!

It's my first trad long bow and I'm cornfused on the lengths.

Unstrung its 73" tip to tip.
Strung its 66" nock end to end.

When I hold it right its smooth. Go thinking recurve and she'll bite ya'.
