I received my new Whip last week and I cannot put it down. It is made with a beautiful Curly Maple/Tiger Maple combo. I have some POC shafts headed my way, in the mean time I have been using the Gold Tips from my Recurve. It shoots them quite well and they are not tuned to this bow. This is my first Longbow and I love it. It is light as a feather and easy to shoot.
I made a matching back quiver and arm guard over the weekend. The quiver works great. I used the tutorial by Rob that I found here. It is moulded to my back and the arrows are easy to reach and the quiver stays in place. Here are a few pics.

Thank you all. The bow is 64" long and 48 # at 28". I draw a little over 26" so it is 43 # for me. :thumbsup:

Beautiful bow and great work on the back quiver and arm guard.
Great bows that are dead quiet.

You can be very proud of both, love the color of the quiver....
I drooled over that bow on Dans website. Almost bought it several times!! It is a beauty!!!
Thank you guys for the complements. I was also drooling over this bow on Dans site. I am hooked on the longbow. My POC shafts should be here on Friday so I can start tuning this weekend. I need to find a motor for the cresting machine I made. The little motor I used is way to slow. Other than that I am ready.
I love my Whip,but I have to say yours is way better looking!
What a beauty!!!

Now THAT is funny bro. :biglaugh: :biglaugh:
Good looking maple there... Dan does a really nice job on his stuff.
Figured Maple is one of my favorite woods. Having the riser and limbs with it is a bonus for me.
