Sweet longbow.  


I would order one in a heartbeat if they came in a 2pc

James said a 64" would work with my 29.5" draw but I opted for the 66" for a little more smoothness and stability. The extra 1" on each end is minor.

Thanks Joe, credit to James for design and build. Yes a 2 piece would be real nice.  

There is a company here in Alaska that does two piece locket socket conversions to one piece bows using the graphite woven material.   I believe he worked for Jack Harrison or possibly Fisk longbows.  He explained to me that a reverse handle bow by design isn't conducive to becoming a two piece and he won't convert them.

Don't know much about that myself, but I once entertained having mine converted, but have since just accepted the lethality of my one piece and moved on...There are probably few places in North America where a two piece would be more handy than here, but you can get by with a one piece.

BigJim also does a conversion on bows that has had pretty good reviews for being tight and solid as well.  He has a few videos showing the process....in case you would like to do it yourself rather than pay him to do it.

OK......really like that...!

OK......really like that...!

That bow could have easily been done in a two piece design when built, but if you don't want to ruin a great bow, don't try converting it in to a two piece now. No riser reinforcement that is necessary for a two piece.

Good call on that Big Jim.

What a great, classic looking bow. I love it.

Thanks Roger and everyone else, James did good.

Big Jim, thanks for the sage advice, I watched the build along video on the take-down and enjoyed it very much. Those were some stout bows.

NICE!!!
