Just got the Newwood Legacy longbow that I ordered from Chris Hartwig at the Kalamazoo expo. 2 Days early I might add. The bow is 46# @ 27" 66" amo and is a shooters dream. It is smooth, fast, silent and completely dead in the hand. The riser is Cocobolo/bacote with a customized palm swell grip. The limbs are cocobolo with coco/bacote riser over lays on both back and belly sides, bacote string grooves and cocobolo limb tips. Chris explains that there are different shades of cocobolo, he used a "red" coco for the tip overlays so they look slightly different fron the limb vaneers. I am stunned at how fast this is for a 46# longbow especially when you consider the 66" length which was what I wanted for a butter smooth draw, it does not disapoint. I am super happy with it and can't seem to put it down, I have been shooting it for hours. I want to urge anyone out there looking for a high quality bow at a great price to look Chris up at www.Newwoodlongbows.com (http://www.newwoodlongbows.com) you will not regret it. I would love to post pics if I could get a volunteer to help post here on Tradgang. Thank you for an outstanding product Chris!
It sounds great! Whats the price? ;)
It was $500 completely decked out. The base price for a Legacy is $419 I beleive. I'm telling you, there is no better bargain out there!
If you can email pics to me at lasch@gdinet.com I will add them here for you. Would love to see it!
Thank you Whip, on the way!
What a beauty!!

Thanks for the pics Whip!!!
Hey Rob,
Really glad you like the bow and am REALLY glad the palm swell is "right" for you, I was a bit nervous about that...
In the rush to get the bow shipped I realized I forgot to incude a stringer, sorry about that. It looks like you got the stringing thing figured out so instead of mailing you one give me shout when the string starts getting worn and I'll twist up a new one for you instead.
Thanks for posting the pics Whip, gotta love those computer literate retired Bankers!!! (I have my kid post them for me)
Take Care, Chris
If you have an idea Chris will do his best to make it happen.
I can't imagine finding a better deal in a bow anywhere. That's a beauty for sure.

I shot one of his bows at K-ZOO and it was great!!!
Haha they must be good, I emailed them about three weeks back about getting a Vanguard and I still haven't heard back. I'll give it another go mid-week I guess. Hey do you know if he does horn tips?
I've already got my fast shooter in a recurve so I was thinking about getting a tricked out one this time.
I trust you will be shooting this in our league Monday, 4/1 so we can all see it. I really like my NewWood longbow too.
I will have it with me Monday night. Feel free to shoot it Steve, you let me shoot yours when you got it and it helped tied me over until mine got here.
Beautiful bow! I've shot a few New Woods, and I love them. I WILL own one when I can talk the better half into me needing a new bow.lol. Who knows? Horicon is coming up!
SWEET bow. I'm excited for you. Not only because you got a great new bow, but I'm now moved up on the list. :) :) :) .
Many years of happy shooting to you.
