I received my new Gregg Coffey Javaman Elkheart today and it is a beauty! This is a two piece take down using the bow bolt system. The bow is 58", 60# @ 31.5". The riser is phenolic between the cores for strength and Macassar ebony outside the cores. The limbs are actionboo with Macassar veneers. Gregg added water buffalo overlays on the tips and riser that look great. This is a fantastic shooting bow. It is very smooth even at my longish draw, very quiet, and dead in the hand. I have two similar Shrew Classics made by Gregg that I love, but this is my new favorite. Anyone wanting a short hybrid longbow should give serious consideration to an Elkheart, particularly if they have a long draw like I do. The bow also comes in shorter lengths. Check out the Javaman website to see his whole line of bows. Gregg is a great guy to work with and an excellent bowyer. Thank you Gregg for your generous donation to the kids, and for delivering such a fine bow and work of art.

Nice bow!
I shot an Elkheart at Kalamazoo this year, and it stole the show!!! And I shot a lot of great bows. If I'd have had the cash, there's no doubt I'd be hunting that thing this year. It may have been a 52", but I think it was 54". Regardless, it shot better than most 60" bows! I drew that particular bow right about 27.5", and it handled it flawlessly. It was rediculous how smooth the draw and shot was with no pinch for such a short bow. Also probably the fastest bow in that weight range that I shot. I'm trying out an Inferno that Gregg made right now at 56", and I'm really liking this bow a lot. I'm on his list for a build, and I really like the design of the Inferno, but a 52" Elkheart is at the top of my list. They are both outstanding bows, the Inferno shoots extremely well, and I'm sure I'd be happy with either, but, that Elkheart was awesome! Decisions decisions. Lol. Gregg is absolutely one of the best bowyers out there. Design, shootability, fit and finish, and performance. You can't go wrong with a Javaman bow!
Gary, that's a very fine stick you have there, and I'm sure it'll serve you well.
Very Nice! Congratulations!
Very nice
A beauty for sure!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Sharp looking bow!
That bow is stunning! Gregg is quite an artist. Thanks to both of you for the generous contributions to the auction :clapper:
Great cause, Great bid, Great bowyer, Great bow...
I guess I think this is just... GREAT! :thumbsup:
Great looking bow...!
Thanks for helping the kids and good luck with that Elkheart..!... :thumbsup:
Exactly what Tater said to the "T"
WOW! Gregg nailed that one. Def on my short list of go-to bowyers. I have an Inferno on my mind.
