A couple of weeks ago I bought the McBroom ASL that Brian posted on the Sponsor's Classifieds. 68" 59@28, stringfollow, with brown glass over a 4 lam yew and actionboo core, and a highly figured bacote riser and tip wedges. The last photo shows the amount of stringfollow (I measure it at 1 1/4"). Fit and finish is superb. Light in the hand, quiet (even without silencers), smooth drawing, and no handshock. Shoots heavy arrows with authority.

That bow looks awesome, I remember wishing it was LH. Judging by the photos and his pricing, Brian's work appears to be one of the best values in an ASL today.
"string follow" - is that the "memory" in the limbs? I have a hill style bow that has the same thing(i left is strung too long, i think).
Dan, the string follow is actually built into the limbs. Most longbows take a bit of a set over time but the string follow is intentional per the design.
Wow...I like it...great lookin bow!!
That bow looks clean and bomb proof. Sometimes I love the look of a bow that seems like it was built to be campainion on a 3 months trek through the rocky mountains. And I'm also growing to love the look of aged yew wood. Very nice indeed!
That's a great looking bow ;)
:archer:
Nice bow...I like the color and its sleek lines.
Hello Mcbowguy, do you get out to Ben Avery Range at all?
M60- I have been out there. Always a good time.
Cavscout- I have a giant pile of beautiful yew to build with. Just sayin'.
If I could swing it,the other bow listed is a beauty,perfect specs and Yew to boot.
