That is one fine looking bow....

Mike,

The grip is 4 inches long. It is 2 1/8 inches wide (longest part of dish) and 2 inches long - shortest part of grip. The width is 1 and 1/8 inches thick ( widest part - about - I have no caliper set, I am close to actual measurement ). Front and back is about an 3/4 inch. I have not weighed the bow but I would bet is under 2 pounds, likely a pound and a half. It is light, but gentle on the release and so powerful - so quiet. It is a wonderful hunting weapon.

Bob.

That bow is a beauty. Congratulations!

James,

No worries buddy ... it is not like you were not under any stress to get my bow out! I am so pleased with the bow my friend, I like how everything turned out, the mistake (ever so minor) was not in the craftsmanship, it was a minor edit. It makes the bow all the more personal to me. I was shooting dandelion heads at 20 plus yards with it today with my judo point. The bow shoots very well for me. I love it man, thanks again for such a functional piece of art.

Bob.

Awesome and Congrats Bob!!!!
That is one special bow for sure!!!

There's some sort of "magic" that Mr Berry builds right into his bows so the majority of shots taken are in the "X" ring.

I should have got one (or more) of James' bows years ago, but now that I have, it is on the top of my list. Can't wait to take it hunting this year.
Yours looks to be typical; beautiful, functional, and a shooter.

Absolutely stunning,classic lines and good choices of materials. That's what a longbow is suppose to look like.

Agree:)

Fellas, I truly appreciate your willingness to help me dispose of the "Quasimodo" of longbows. To that end, I could not in good conscience, accept such generous offers as that would surely overburden such fine upstanding citizens as yourselves.

Indeed it is with heavy heart I will keep this bow ... it is my cross to bear. Please know I am humbled by your offers to assist me.

Respectfully,

Bob.

Bob, my friend like myself most of these folks were born at night....but not last night....hahahaha!!!

God bless,Mudd
