A better longbow? Maybe you should look to be in a better shot. I'm sorry for being brutal. Everybody's looking for something to fix their own problems. Learn how to shoot. Sorry for being abrupt. So many people are looking for a crutch.It drives me nuts.

Bevel smedule. If you have to have a single blade broadthead, to get through an animal, you need more equipment, geez, people. Go back to your slingshot.

It charge me, but it made a mistake and turned sideways.

I'm a new lover of low grips, and recently saw a pic of a '61 Grizzly, with similar grip to the '59 Kodiak. Anyone know what years this style was made?

I disagree. Linseed oil is natural and works on wood regardless of its purpose and will accept many topcoats.
Mind is open though. Do you have experience negatively affecting an arrow?

Last year I had cataract surgery and don't need long range eye ware. I got glasses with lines and it worked out well. I've always had bifocals with lines. 

You may not be picky about design particulars, and would probably be a better man for it!  I, however bought a custom bow once and had a hard time with it.  It was an awesome bow, but not for beginners, as I remember reading, but bought anyway (Sovereign Ballistik). After having the benefit of forums and YT videos, I wish I'd have held on to it.

That being said, I do not regret playing with price point ILF gear to figure out what grip angle and riser lengths I like.  I can also play with limb length, and see on the draw board, what my string/tip angle is, and tweak the tiller and weights if needed to work better with the arrows I shoot.

When all said and done, I probably would have been happy right off the get-go with a Bear T/D B riser and short limbs in 42 to 43#.

That's great news.  Thanks for the heads up Kirk.

That finish is for furniture not arrows you need a poly , urethane or lacquer for wood arrows with NVP or Duco for glue.
