Hi all,
Im pretty new to this forum. Ive been reading here for a while but this is actually my first post. I just wanted to share the new Tenbrook longbow I picked up. I actually found Tradgang through researching Tenbrook Archery. Cody happens to be a sponsor for this site. He also happened to be located locally to me in Santa Cruz, CA about an hour from where I live. I wasnt sure what to expect meeting with Cody to discuss the bow but he is a true professional from his friendliness and customer service to his shop set up.
I am very impressed with Cody's bow. This is only the second bow I have owned but from what I can tell its amazing. I have shot many other bows at my local range but I must say this is one of the smoothest most comfortable bows I have tried. For the shoot-ability and craftsmanship put in this bow at the price point Cody builds them for I don't think it can be beat. I can talk about how well the bow shoots all day but the pictures can speak for themselves. Thanks for reading and enjoy.

Hi David, yes this a great site. That is a fine lookin longbow you have there. Tenbrook does excellent work at very reasonable prices. I've been lookin real hard at the 43" recurves he shows on his site !!! I guess your bow shoots good, I don't see any holes in the front of the dryer yet. Welcome to THE GANG,...Lloyd :wavey:

I love the strung profile of that bow..she is beautiful.
