Yes, I know there are many posts about these bows. Please do for me and post pictures of your bows and some specifications that you have. Speed bow and arrow weight .
Thanks
God Bless you all
I did not ask to give me your bows, only one image, and the speed with weight of arrow
Bowfanatik I guess there isn't many Trad Gang Folks that own them??? Ask if there is anyone that has a 21st century longbow for pictures and a review on it. :archer:
I don't have any pics to share. Mine is 70" 60# @ 28". I make my own skinny strings. It chrono's 173 with my 650 gr. hunting set up.

I'll post some pics of my constellation tomorrow.
Jim Ploen made the best ones. He still shoots! I talk to him now and then. Lives in MN

I just got a 21st Century longbow. It's the Trainer model. Been so cold lately I haven't had a chance to shoot it. Can someone post a picture for me or tell me where the directions are? Thanks.
I would like to learn how to post pictures. Thanks.
Check out trad gang and computers forum. I use imgur and makes it easy
Ok, until I learn to post pictures would somebody like to post my picture for me?

That's a blast from the past. I'm Brian's brother from the Scott Toll story.
I still have a 21st Century and have been thinking about shooting some this year. Our dad still has several of the Jim and Buddy 21st Centurys. Brian still shoots one often.
very fast bows !!!
I have had my 21Century Earth model since 1993 never had a problem with it. kinda bland to look at, but it shoots.
If someone have Venus Hunter in destring position
60" , making photo in 90 degrees on the bow
I had a LH 21st century Nova Graphite, the one I wish I could get back...had the Jeff Massey finish on it! It was a neat bow...Maybe someday it will show up again....
Guys :-) anyone have idea how to contact Jim Ploen ?
Milan THANK YOU for posting those articles. I will read them tomorrow when I have time.
21st Century bows from J&B or Milton are shooters 100%. Easy to hit the mark with them. I miss the 70" Lonestar I had.
:-)
On first place Jim Ploen is great American legacy !
Win some tournaments with maximum score !
66" 60# bow 575 grain arrow 197 fps !!!!
Many champions win tournaments with his bows !
Smart man should learn from champions , just saying :-).
Unfortunately , bowyer in 21' century
Didn't realized what have in hands and destroys superior bow design with bad attitudes to customers and to bows ....
Bowfanatik, I don't have Jim's number but I got to shoot with him once and it was a great experience. His knowledge of traditional bows and shooting is exceptional. I enjoy shooting Hill style bows but I shoot my 21st Century bow better than any bow I have owned and I have owned many. I really don't feel it is any faster than a lot of other bows but it seems to be more stable with the reverse taper limbs. Hope you end up getting one.
Bowfanatik, I have a Saturn that Jim and Buddy built and I have a 66" Edge and a 58" Venus that Milton built. I am very pleased with them. The Venus is a great little bow and is extremely quick and smooth.
Thanks Gordon
I just want to send him mail or call .
And i need explanation of reverse taper. I know what is taper :) , but reverse don't know
The bow limbs on the old 21st Century bows were thicker on the tips of the limbs than next to the riser.
By reading the article it seems the cores on the limbs have the reverse taper not the thickness of the limbs themselves.
So are the 21st Century Bows still produced but by different bowyers.
My Super Nova will stack them as tight as you can shoot. I get a lot of comments on the cast it has for a 45# bow.

Yes the core of the limb has the reverse taper which makes the tips thicker than next to the riser. The 21st Century bows are still produced but by a different bowyer and he will still make the reverse taper bows if wanted.
Yes, if he wants.Behaving very strangely towards customers, and sometimes it's all ok. So they say in reviews.
Bowfanatik, after reading the reviews I took it upon myself to call Milton Callaway and talk to him myself before ordering a new 21st Century. I wanted a new one as my old Jim and Buddy Saturn has become one for the wall. I found him to be very knowledgeable and confident concerning his bows. I guess some would consider it arrogant but I have spoken with many bowyers who have the same attitude and it's called believing in thier product. I am in NO WAY trying to defend Milton as he is a grown man and can take care of himself. I am however suggesting that if you want a new 21st Century give him a call and tell him what you want and go from there. We spoke about the reverse taper limbs and he offered to build it if I wanted it. I've had him build me two bows that shoot just fine. In fact if you visit his facebook page you'll see where alot of tournaments are still being won with them.
I did not want to say anything bad about Milton. Just what I read in the review. My friend also making these bows. So I'm not interested, I just wanted to talk to Jim P. For me he is the icon of archery
