Pretty Tembo! What are the specs?

Tater · January 23, 2015, 03:57:00 PM

Yes it is Snake Wood in the handle.

Specs are 66" 55# @ 28", Ivory and Snake Wood tip overlays, it shoots great..

Thanks again for the trade Danny.!

Loving that Tembo!

I had a great visit with Steve Turay at his shop this morning. Sawhis ooperation first hand with my family. Settled on a 66" Shelton for my bow build after shooting side by side with a whisper. The Shelton is so smooth and just feels like a longbow should. I even drew back Steve's john Schulz Trophy Hunter target bow. It pulls a smooth 100 pounds (ok so I was an inch or two shy of my full twenty eight inch draw). The handle on that bow is huge. Steve is trying to get a nice selection of bows ready for customers to try and buy at Kalamazoo. Those going will be pleased. Steve is truly a great person to deal with and super knowledgeable about longbows and their build.

Got a new to me bow coming......just said I'll take it to a JD Berry Northstar string follow. It should be a good compliment to the Morningstar I'm on the list for.

You will love that north star Ron

My coming new Hill will have a rosewood riser and a silver kitty. Seeing that snakewood has us thinking about changing the order for the second Hill. On another note a kid from up the street started coming around wanting to shoot and hunt with us. I told him 'get your hunter's safety card, watch all of the Hill shooting youtubes, and then come back'. He is sticking to the plan. He can shoot a 35 at his 26.5" draw and is insisting that he will be able handle 50 by deer season. He has taken a shine to my 54 pound yew, but it is way too stiff at this point. I do not have a 45 on my rack right now, so it looks like I will be on the hunt for something that will fit him and hopefully keep him from only wanting a 50 plus Hill. I prefer to keep the bow and arrows under control with newbie kids. His parents, although not hunters, are willing to give in on the bow. How fast can a slightly built 16 year old build muscle these days? I am finding it difficult to keep this rambunctious teen from going full bore on me.

Like always, the deal is use it as long as you want, but bring it back if you are not using it. Every once in a while one comes back that can be handed along. Normally I go for something like a Bear Grizzy to start, this time, I am afraid that would be considered as a less than optimum choice. He wants is own right from the start, his mother says that she will provide the funds, but still wants me to help with the choices and purchases. That is a first for me.

Brianlocal3 · January 25, 2015, 12:53:00 PM

That 16 year old will advance thru the weight pretty quickly. I'll bet he could handle 50 easy by hunting season with your help on form.

What's the consensus from folks that have McBroom longbows? Are they as nice as they look?

Green · January 25, 2015, 05:21:00 PM

cmh - yes, they are. I bought a string follow from Brian about a month ago. For a string follow it's a real performer. Brian's a great guy to deal with.

The new Wesley special I just got is going on the block, not for me!!!!!

Davey,
Why is it not for you? Specific reasons?

Just too much different than I'm used too. I shot my other bows today. That did it. I wanted to try one ,I did. I realize I didn't give it much time. I listed it just now.

Brianlocal3 · January 25, 2015, 08:23:00 PM

Good for trying, and I can see where that drastic of a change could be hard to overcome!!
