Title: Horne's Combo Hunter longbow - pix?
Post by: Tom Anderson on October 09, 2007, 03:22:00 PM
Can any of you guys and gals post some pix of a Horne's Combo longbow please?  I cant' quite tell from the website if the profile is a deflex/reflex or D-shaped.

When braced, the limbs form a D profile, although they are heavily reflexed, un-braced.

Rob,
Thanks.  What's the next to last bow on the right - the one with the radical deflex?

Roy Hall Navajo. Beautiful bow, but not as quick as it looks.

Interesting. That's good to know - thanks.

It's a real shallow D when braced; those last 8-10" just slide right in.

I can't seem to find my pic of it unstrung, but like Rob says it's a r/d.

Thanks Rob and Jeremy,
It's more D-shaped than I prefer, regardless of the performance.  I guess I'm too picky on looks.

That was my initial thought when I first strung it.  After shooting it for two days I decided I no longer cared!  :D   I couldn't get over that it was a 3-pc though... went and ordered a 2-pc Brushbow from Mark  ;)
