Title: Hello Everyone
Post by: Locksley1988 on March 29, 2015, 11:59:00 PM
My name is Locksley1988, and I have been an avid archery shooter for my whole life.I joined Trad Gang to spread my wings and get reacquainted in the traditional archery forum world.

On a different note, is anyone familiar with Rudderbows Archery Products? I have heard good things about them and decided to test out a product. I just purchased a Rudderbows Hickory Flatbow from a traditional archery retailer on amazon. Once I test the bow I will tell everyone what I think. Here's a link to the product if anyone is interested in looking at it.  http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FRM7VFS  

Regards,

Locksley

Welcome, and looking forward to hearing about your bowmaking experience.  I've toyed with the idea of trying the same product, but other projects (dictated by my wife) keep coming up first.

Welcome

Regarding Rudder Bows, I bought a hickory bow from them over a year ago.  I never really meant to hunt with it, so I ordered a 35# bow to build up my strength in a previously injured shoulder.

Bottom line: I got a decent bow for the price.  It gave me a reintroduction into trad bows and helped me with strength and form.  I still go back and shoot it when I want to work on form.  I had a lot of arm slap from the bow, but I think in my ignorance I ignored a brace height problem.  I have since went back and raised the brace height and have had lees arm slap.  
The bow I received had an extra set of string groves in the upper limb that was meant to help you string the bow with a looped thin rope.  I don't know if all of the bows come like that, but I go back and forth on whether I like it or not.  It is simple to string, but looks unbalanced.  
Over all, it was perfect for what I used it for.  Your desired use for the bow will be what makes or breaks it.

Welcome! I have 3 Rudderbows in the house. A hickory youth model, a tri lam English longbow, and most recently my son got a bamboo backed hickory. They are far from fancy, but they are more than respectable shooters. For the money they are nice and I wouldn't hesitate to buy another.

Welcome from Central NY.  :wavey:  I'm toying with the idea of buying one of the R/D bamboo Rudderbow   blanks from 3Rivers. I've got to put together a bowfishing rig first though. Maybe this summer.
