It is a Brackenbury "old timer" made by Gorden Porter I have been told mid 90's.  66# (but feels a bit lighter than that) @29.  Two piece take down.  Woods are bacote and osage.  I like it a lot so far have only got to shoot about 40 arrows through it.  Quieter than my recurve by far but not whisper quiet.  Seems to propel my arrows at a similar velocity to my 60# Samick sage that it is replacing.  I have made a lot of changes to my shooting lately as this bow is left handed.  I am making the switch as left eye is dominant though I am right handed.  I don't feel any hand shock but this is my first longbow as I mentioned.                  

         

Looks Awesome!

Bracks are nice bows.  Good for you!!

That is a really cool bow! Congrats!

Nice stick....congrats!

Nice looking bow.... Good luck with the switch to left handed shooting!

Good luck, shoot straight and God bless,

Nice bow. And if it is Made in USA I am sure you will like better than any Samick  

Welcome to the forum.
That's a pretty bow, congratulations.  

   

Duncsquatch,I made the switch from right handed shooting to left many years ago.  It was without doubt the best move I ever made for my bow shooting.  I too am right handed but left eye dominate.

You ought to be able to get that bow whisper quiet...the brace height actually looks a bit on the high side of an American Style longbow...most bows tend to get quieter with a longer brace height but not all...I finally bought my first Hill style longbow...it is a dual shelf, something you might want to consider since you are going to be able to shoot both ways as I do

On further inspection it appears I may have jumped the gun saying that is an American Style Longbow...looks to me like a mild d/r bow...one trick my friend and I use on those sometimes to quiet them down is setting the nocking point a bit higher than normal

NICE ENJOY!!!!!

Nice bow.

Thanks guys, after having shot this bow for a couple of days, it is much quieter as my left handed release has improved.  I have only shot left handed on about 3 outings so far.  Today I went out and shot at some stumps in the freezing cold weather it was fun.  i also fixed some alignment issues and shot rather well today. I have a video but am having trouble posting it so you can see/hear the bow in action.

Nice bow..!!! Going to what was your previous weak hand using 66# pounds of bow might provide an interesting challenge, but have fun..!

Actually I have been shooting a 73 bear kodiak magnum at 60 lbs lefty for a bit. This bow feels easier to shoot than the bear due to no stacking and a smoother draw.  I also have a 50 lb ambidextrous fiberglass recurve I can shoot lefty. So I have been building up to it.
