I recently bought a used Tim Meigs longbow. I'm curious if anyone out there has one and still shoots it. I really enjoy shooting the one I just bought.
I have 2 duoflex longbow. Nothing to hate, they are solid performers
Tim is a character
Tim was my mentor when I got into the bowyer world. My family has shot Tim's bows for as long as I can remember. My mom has a recurve that is probably 40 years old. I have a Du-O-Flex longbow that is probably 20 years old. I also just recently found a Meigs longbow made in the late 50's that is #99 0f Tim's first 100 bows. I got it as a wall hanger in our shop. My bows have a large Tim Meigs influence in them. Those that no Tim the bowyer legend will tell you he is a great and wonderful guy. Yes, he is a character!
Most the time,you hear Tim,before you see him,at a shoot.That Laugh of his,is an original.
I have a Meigs Bamboo Longbow I picked up a couple of months ago that I have been shooting every day. When I bought it I was told it was made in the late 70's/early eighties. I enjoy it alot.It's a really well behaved Hill style, it will be in the woods with me this fall Lord willing.
