Title: New bow in my line up
Post by: mcbowguy on October 24, 2014, 04:09:00 AM

I'm a longbow guy but have played with recurves for some time. Decided to add a 50's style recurve to my list of what I do. It's a 50's curve with semi-static tips that give it a lot of zip.

I love the lines on 50 style recurves!

Any chance you'd make one 64"?

Title: Re: New bow in my line up
Post by: mcbowguy on October 24, 2014, 03:59:00 PM

I don't have a form for a 64". I am it the process of designing a 62" form but I'm pretty busy building longbows for customers. It's kind of a back-burner thing.

I have a shorter draw myself but I've had it back to 32" on the tiller tree.

I think I just might have to have one..... Nice! I'm a longbow guy also but I've had a growing affinity for slim riser/handled, 50's style recurves. I'll be contacting you for some more info.

Hello, between your traditional string follow and your 50's recurve...... Wow :) I'm holding out for when you get some green glass ;)

Cmh- it's gonna be at least a year. Maybe two depending on how well things go in 2015.
