Title: Tenbrook Archery
Post by: The Whittler on March 31, 2015, 06:19:00 PM
I just got on the site and watched a couple videos. I was wondering has anyone shot/own the LB or recurve and if so what are your thoughts.

The short recurves look like it would be fun to shoot, and what draw length can they handle. Thanks for any info.

My brother just bought a longbow.  I can tell you this....with the exact same arrow at a few lbs. less draw weight it shot exactly the same speed as my Black Widow recurve.

Sapcut, does his bow have any hand shock/ vibration of any kind. I know everyone has their own opinion.Thank you.

I am not a longbow guy. I do not like the lack of mass weight and the hand shock of most longbows. I shot the Tenbrook quite a bit and shot it well.  If there was any handshock, I didn't notice it.  I was shooting 11+ gpp. arrows.

I asked him about draw length on his recurves and I believe it was like 28 or 28.5" maximum recommended draw length. But my memory is very suspect since I turned fifty so hopefully Cody sees the post and chimes in!
