Mulling over ideas for the next bow. Anyone got pierce points on their bow? Would love to see them :bigsmyl:
I posted a Rose Oak with pierce points just just now.
So you don't have to hunt it down here is a close-up of the PPs as viewed in the sight window. They also show on the face and back of the grip.

Pierce Points are some of the nicest addictions you can have on your bow.
Roy's bow is stunning like all the works made by Brandon.
I have a couple of Robertson's and another couple of Dye's; all are work of art. Also the Centaur can be made with them.
All are top bowyers!
in my mind , the creme de la creme . i have never owned a bow with Pierce points. i have only admired from afar.

Bob, it's a Rose Oak - King Panther. Cocobolo and bocote
Oops - double post
Thanks Burnsie I really like that. Going to have check them out.
The Puma is not longer available from Rose Oak. The Ultra Delight or Special Edition of the Ultra Delight are the models available now. The Special Edition is the pierce point model.
I have a really nice Robertson longbow with points, a coco bolo with juniper veneers. I will not shoot it much anymore, since I have gone lefty, but I have not taken close ups of the riser.
I like the Dye's as well but have never shot that grip.
Ebony Centaur with pierce points

Nice effect. How is it done? Thanks - John
It is a very complex cut and glue pattern. In the case of my Robertson longbow it has amazing effect on the feel of the bow.

It made the bow "feel" different? Please explain.
Do you feel the riser is heavier from the glue/joint? More rigid? Curious, this is the first time I've heard anyone say this? Thanks
Less vibration and less shock. It is a bit heavier and is probably stiffer.
Nice, thanks for the pics. I should be at a shoot at Chillington Hall, but am not well - so good to have the eye candy and food fot thought.
