Christmas in March.. New to me T.T. and Elburg

L. E. Carroll · March 24, 2011, 12:26:00 AM

Just got these two in the mail in a couple trades.. I felt they were too pretty not to share.

The Tall Tines is the Myrtlewood 58" 51#'r I just recieved from Donald Rowan...A true beauty, great performance, and very comfortable in the grip.. Perhaps the best fitting grip on any bow that I have owned to date... which has been a "boat Load". :rolleyes:

The second is a 58" Elburg Cheetah 50's style recurve.. 55#@27 so about 58-59# at my 28 1/2" draw length.. I have not set up the crono yet, but feel this may be one of the fastest bows I have shot to date.. I did not realize bows of this style could shoot this fast. :eek:

Both lookers for sure.

Those Elburgs will suprise you, Harry was ahead of his time.

Congrats Gene!

I absolutely love Myrtle. I have a Dryad Orion longbow in Myrtle, with an extra set of their static tip recurve limbs with yew veneers.

Enjoy them Gene and I look forward to getting home to see the Dakota limbs and put some arrows through them.

My new T.T. has Myrtle limbs, looking forward to going home and setting it up. those are two beautiful bows.

I would like to know the speed of the Elburg also, when was it made?

That's a great looking pair....I really like the lines of a 50's style recurve!!

WildmanSC · March 24, 2011, 09:27:00 AM

Gene,

The TT is a great looking bow. I have one on order and I'm about two weeks into the wait. With what I've read about the TT bows and with the beauty of the TT bows, I can patiently wait for Brian to build it!

GRINCH · March 24, 2011, 10:56:00 AM

Both are great looking bows,I really like the tall tines just my weight.

tex-archer · March 24, 2011, 06:21:00 PM

What woods are in the Elburg? I ask because it looks just like an Elburg I recently traded for.

Thumper Dunker · March 24, 2011, 06:34:00 PM

Im like the other guy the 50s recurve is cool. nice bows.
