Title: Spirit lb from RMSG question
Post by: MCNSC on June 08, 2013, 08:00:00 AM
Anybody have any experience with one of these? I had given up on long bows, but have a hankering to try again. Looking at the RMSG site and saw the Spirit long bows very nice looking bows. Any feed back appreciated.

Back a few years ago when I was still shooting R/D bows I owned one and thought very highly of it.

I found it to be very user friendly.

God bless,Mudd

I had one for a short period too.  I remember it being very quiet and a solid performer.

I don't know about the bow, but Mr. Clum at RMSG is a pleasure to do business with. I've ordered from them on a few occasions and always been impressed with their sincere efforts in customer service.  I hope you find a great longbow.

I own one. 62" 50# at 28" takedown with a bowbolt. Very quiet when I am shooting well. I bought it from RMSG about 7 years ago. It is the bow I shot the most. If I had the money I would buy another.

I have seen them in the shop but never shot one. They appear very well made, and the Clums speak highly of them, which is a good endorsement. RMSG is a class act, and they know of what they speak.

The one Mudd had I bought from him, it was my go to stumping bow for about 2 years. Nice workmanship, good performance and a good value. I would buy another!

I have a 48# Spirit longbow that is a wonderful shooter.  It's quiet, fast, and pretty much dead in the hand.  I would highly recommend getting one.  If something happened to mine I would buy another one immediately.  I also picked up a Spirit recurve this Spring and really like it also.  Bryan Holley builds a great bow and they are sold at a very reasonable price through RMSG.

I can't speak highly enough of either of those operations. The Clums are an absolute pleasure to do business with, and my Spirit quickly became my pride and joy. The bows are gorgeous, quiet, plenty fast, and overall just exceptional shooters... Which is why I'll be picking up another in the very near future.

I own a Bow-Bolt  Spirit Longbow... Great shooter, just a little heavy for me... It's 58", 48# @ 26" and will be put up for sale soon.

Also have a Spirit recurve... Most quiet curve I've ever shot... Still at 53# @ 27" it's heavy for me too... Guess I'm feeling my age...

Anyway, I'd say go for it! These bows are top shelf!
