For some people a longbow just doesn't get the job done out of a canoe or treestand so I dusted off my form for a 54" recurve. This bow is about as close as I we can get to a longbow. 1.25" wide limbs with a longbow grip. Please welcome the "Sawed Off"

Very nice! I see the draw is marked at 29" is that the Max for the Sawed Off?

Outstanding !!!! I've often thought about a recurve that was longbow-esqu
Love it..
Max draw on that bugger???
Nice looking bow. Can that be made in a 58" or 60"?
Now THAT I like!! :thumbsup: Can it be gotten in 60"?
Very nice strung profile!
Way cool.
I like that!

Very nice!How long is the riser?
Guys I think the point is that it is 54". Hence the name 'sawed off'. Wouldn't 58 or 60 then make it something other? No reason a well designed 54" can't be drawn to 29". Neat lil fella.
Really neat.........my specs to!!
Wow, I love the look of that bow!
Sweet looking bow,I like it!
very cool little bow.
Eu quero!
Dang that looks good, you should build me a lefty 50 pounder at 26" and let me tell how it shoots. One of the best shooting bows I ever had my hands on was a 68" bow you built. I gave it to a friend with a longer draw that needed a lighter bow, everytime we go out together I shoot a couple of arrows out of it and kick myself.
yep, nice little curve for sure.
I gotta get one
When will they be available !?!? I'm in love !!!!!
They are available now. I talked to mike today
I feel my will power slipping.
Very nice bow
Dang! That is one sharp looking short bow. I'm too long in the arms for such a short bow, but wow...I'm drooling.
I used to enjoy shooting some older bows that I called long curves.
Like your model they had a longbow style handle and the curves had a long sweeping look to them.
They were really smooth drawing and had the feel of a longbow except for the hand-shock I got with the 1st longbows I tried.( for years I wouldn't pick up a longbow, I had too many memories of how much they had hurt me...lol)
I eventually decided to try the longbow again but I did a lot of research before I did.
It was the memories of just how much I enjoyed shooting this style of bow that eventually led me to the Hills and American longbow styles that I shoot today.
I need a bow to take me to "Sherwood" when I put my hand to it! (I am just a true archery romantic)..lol
:archer:
PS: Brian keep me posted if you end up with one as I'll want a review and your thoughts.
I Love the look of the bow. It probably shoots as good as it looks!!!
For those of you who have never interacted with Mike, he is truly one of the gentlemen in the bowyer community. He has a no "BS" guarantee on his products and they are truly great bows.
I jsut ordered one for my son. It will be small enough for him to handle right now and should be versitle enough for him to use for years to come!

Looks a LOT like my Mahaska recurve. 50s style 'curves are just plain sweet looking. My heart jumps a little at each and every one.
Man that is a SHARP lookin' bow, I like it. Dang, so many bows so little time and money...must resist!! :help:
Sorry Wannabe1 and Iohkus, you'll have to wait a few months until I can get the 58" 60" curve ready. I wanted to get the 54" out there while it was still warm enough to canoe (in the south). I'll post again when it's ready.
I want one!
Need to see some full draw pics with arrow. But it looks really sweet.
bretto & Gator 1, sorry I didn't see your posts right off the bat.
This bow draws smooth, less than 3#/" all the way out to 29" and only 3#/" from 29 to 30 inches. It does get a little draw hand pinchy from 29" to 30".
I would consider 29" the max for comfortable drawing. If you draw 30" or more I'll have the 58" to 60" curve out after Christmas.
way to go Mike! looks like a hit for sure...
:thumbsup:
Bob
Thanks Bob.
Nice :thumbsup:
anyone shoot one yet? Field reports?
I love it!
I'm a longbow guy, But I like that curve....
WOW!!! Very very nice!!!
Mike, it looks like you got yourself a hit there!
Cool looking little bow :thumbsup:
