Title: Props to Ron Foley
Post by: highlandhunter on November 18, 2012, 11:03:00 AM

Hi All,

I really enjoy the pics shared of custom bows. I am amazed at the craftsmanship and talent level in our sport.

Ron Foley built me this hybrid longbow and I wanted to share it with you all. Ron listened to me and delivered exactly what I asked for. I love the way it shoots and Ron is a real joy to work with.

40# @ 28", 66" long; Riser is Macassar with Bocote Wave; Limbs are Bamboo core with Bocote veneers; Horn nock tips

Nice bow and a real nice guy, I met him at the PBS gathering in Pittsburgh some years ago.

Beautiful bow. I do not have one of Ron's bows yet,but he is one of the nicest bowers out there.I have talked with him several times at Vanderpool. Top notch guy.

Nice bow! My son has one of Ron's longbows and it's one of the prettiest bows I've seen. He wants to sell it and if I had the money I'd buy it from him!

Beautiful bow. I've had one of Ron's recurves for 3 years now. It's a great shooter and it performs right up there with the other "big name" bow. I met Ron last summer at Denton Hill. What a nice man. I'm getting the itch to have him make me a longbow sometime soon. Seeing this bow may push me over the edge :)

I know a guy who bought a Folly just like this one and he said his 3D scores went up. Ron and his wife are great people. Ken

Nice bow but then I have never seen one of Foley's bows that I didn't like.

God bless, Steve

I have a 64" td longbow. I truly love this bow.I have owned many different longbows in the past,and this one tops them all. In fact it tops all of my recurves in performance. I have two sets of limbs and on set has the carbon core. This set of limbs are super. I'm sold on the Foley longbow.
