Got it working now, not stupid just slow sometimes.

What is the waiting list and the price now?  I am sooo jealouss.

Not sure, when I got mine about 18 years ago it was $500 and 60 month waiting list.
 I plan to talk to Frank real soon and will get back with current info on his longbows.

I talked with Frank SanMarco yesterday and he is crafting a few bows each year.  The delivery time is around a year give or take a bit depending on his workload.  The price is $1000 .  Not inexpensive for sure but a finely crafted and highly refined deep cored longbow. I for one love mine.

The man himself ( on the right), last week at our local archery shop. He is so cool. unbelievable. I had the pleasure to hold a bow he had just made for a guy there. Beautiful! that's all I gotta' say  

Great photo.

How many bows does he make???

When I talked with Frank he did not state how many bows he produces each year.  At one time his waiting list stretched  well beyond a 5 year long list.  He decided to forgo long waiting lists of this sort and stopped taking orders.  Now he takes orders till he gets to a quota that he can deliver in a reasonable length of time and them takes no more orders till he is kind of caught up is the way that I understood him.

Frank is making Bows again but only in the off season (Winter) on a limited basis. If you would like to contact him , Please reply and i'll get you in touch with him. I am in contact with him a few times a week.

Believe it or not Frank was at the Spring Whittingham Shoot last year in Jersey. He lives in N.Y State and still makes his Longbows.Spoke to him at length and he was a true gentleman. Drew back a few but didn't get a chance to shoot one MY MISTAKE!!!! They are works of Art. Family heirloom quality bows. Just a little rich for my pocket book at this time.Perhaps when my last two children get out of College.
