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.
Thanks for the review David. I'm glad the bow's working out for you!
Here are the specs on David's bow as well as a few pictures I took before he picked it up.
Enjoy!
