I would be interested in that design as well.  Not sure how easy it is to get a bow from Estonia, but would be interested in knowing,

Beautiful bows. Was confused as to their location as when I Googled the site, it came up in South Africa. See where he relocated to Estonia. Anyone know the conversion rate from Euros to US dollars?

Nice looking bows. I did find on another website that there is a U.S. Dealer for them.

Yes there is a US distributor,the euro is very close to US dollar right now so the pricing on there site is just about what they cost US. there is a thread on TAS with lots of pics, Burt

Fantastic bows, I have had the Kraken since April and it is probably the best custom bow I have ever had. The craftsmanship is superb and the euro is about the same as the dollar. Shipping took no time at all, I think mine came in about 7-8 days.

I'm too dumb to post pics, but Google Timberpoint/ Facebook and there are tons of pics of his longbows. I can tell you that you won't find a better made longbow anywhere.

I goggle their site and man those are some outstanding looking bows!

And his videos of him doing destruction testing was crazy to say the least.

Would like to see the 60" bow he reference in one of the tabs on his page, can't remember what model it was now.

here is a link to my thread on these bows from last August. I have owned many bows in my 40 years of shooting trad equip and this bow is the finest I have ever owend.  however, I bought mine just for target, I do not intend to hunt with it.

The 60" Hybrid is called the Firestick III. According to what I've read he is going to start making them again come January.

Hi Mike

I like to hunt with bows in the 56 to 58 inch range. My kbx and hill country bows are in those length.

my Timberpoint is 68 inches long. Also I want to shoot IBO and IFAA. the Timber point despite being reflex/deflex when unstrung. is a D shape when strung and therefore legal in each of those organizations rules books.

Also the Timberpoint is just too Beautiful to take into the woods. I'd be heart broke if it got beat up.
