Title: Buffalo Bow
Post by: hybridbow hunter on November 01, 2012, 03:42:00 PM
I receive few days ago a beautiful longbow from the Big guy in Georgia.
Thank you Jim for that beauty: only cocobolo and springbok horn
Not bad indeed     :goldtooth:

Fair performer as well with the quite heavy reflex design:

Vertical and torsional stability of the limb is excellent and i am right in the sweet spot at full draw, close to 32".

This week end i was fortunate to put first blood on that wonderfull bow: in a free range mountain hunt i shot a Corsican Ram (and a very good one !!): 14 yrd shot, 120 yrd recovery with a BJ 3 blade broadhead as well


That bow has the MOJO

What is the meat like? I have never eaten any type of goat or sheep. Like pork or beef?
Incredible looking bow!

"Fair performance" .......... I'll say. 180 fps with a 705 gr. arrow! Probably had a nice flat trajectory AFTER it flashed through the ram.
Congratulations on the ram AND the bow.

Here in France Corsican ram are our "big horn" (but much smaller than yours) meat has a strong taste like most of mountain goat ram (and now is rut time so taste is not the best). Though we can make a kind of tasty stew with it     :)
