Has anyone gotten a look at or got to shot the new Tred Barta 64" Celebration Longbow. http://www.3riversarchery.com/tred+barta+64%26quot%3b+celebration+longbow_i8330X_baseitem.html
It looks like it's got great lines and a good d/r profile to it Should be a great shooting bow. The wood choices along with the caramel colored glass have a simplistic yet stunningly beautiful look to it.
What I saw on the link says "Futurewood" and brown glass. Just my opinion, but for $700 a person could order a very nice custom from one of our sponsors and be way ahead in the looks department.
I was looking at it last night. If I was going to get a bow from 3Rivers it would be the Tomahawk Legacy one piece. I think they look much better.
I have to agree, Looks pretty plain jane and more of a production bow that is overpriced! Until I shoot one this is just my opinion of course! Lots of better looking bows that I know shoot awesome for less out there!
To each his own, but numerous bowyer sponsors here can build a bow to your specs and wood preferences for less money.

The Tomahawk Legacy is a 3 piece takedown bow. They only make the original and diamond series Tomahawks in one pieces.
Oh ok I get them mixed up. Not many people talk about them,but the people that do seem to like them.
I saw it on the website and was curious about it too - I think it's a great looking bow. Something about a more simple and functional look appeals to me. I bet it's a shooter.
I agree that the bow has a nice attractively simple look to it, although I believe a price below $500 would be more appropriate.
Go custom from one of the sponsors here and you can get exactly what you want for the same or less money.A build to your specs.- how can you go wrong!
I have had several custom bows...I can't seem to go less than $700. :dunno:
Nice looking bow. Does anyone know who is building this bow for 3Rivers? Is it Martin Archery?

What a joke. You guys gotta stop spending your hard earned money on mass produced "marketing gimmicks." Have you seen the price on those special arrows that are being sold for $400??? Give me a break.

There are fine bowyers/sponsors right here on this site that will build you a bow with the woods you want, poundage you want at your draw for the same or less money than that production bow. My 2 cents...
from what I've seen is your paying alot for Treds name. Don't get me wrong I enjoy watching the guy and I have alot of respect for the way he never even slowed down when he became wheelchair bound but I still think they are capitalizing on his name.
X 6 or what ever it is.
I agree costs too much. I am however also a fan of Tred and his determination.
