Would you order a bow with green glass if it was made available again?

WESTBROOK

I would rather see ANY wood uder clear glass than see brown, black, green or any color glass. Show me the wood!

Hell yes, that would be great. You could use a sharpie and put stripes and make an awesome camo.

My Hoyt PMH has green glass. I've always wanted to "see the wood" on all the custom bows that I've ordered.

The green limbs have grown on me.. I like them.

Highboy, you know I want the (forest)green glass, but I want the glass strips. I voted 'yes' but I wouldn't order a bow as I make my own.
Anybody voting 'yes' should send an e-mail to Bingham.   http://www.binghamprojects.com/product.htm      and request green, tan, burgandy...whichever. Tell them we want more options. We're counting on Bingham to convince Gordon to produce at least some of these.

Brandon voiced my thoughts exactly.  Although I wouldn't be interrested in using the old Herter's urine yellow glass.  YUCK!  "[dntthnk]"

George D. Stout

Holm-Made,  if your urine is that color, you're getting too much vitamin B....8^).

I love the colored glass...green and gray as well as black.  It's classy and classical.  I'm growing tired of so much clear glass over wood...it's okay but after awhile they all look alike.

fowlarcher

I'd like the clear glass if it was actually clear.

Brandon, I agree on the colors and you're making some of the best looking bows I've seen.

I have a lovely old Hill style bow [ Aussie Bob Wilson ] that was made in the 80's with Bubinga riser , yew laminations and green glass - it looks brilliant - as good as any clear glass / veneer bows .

Bring back green glass

I wouldn't order green glass but black glass is the best glass.  I have talked to a half dozen reputable bowyers that say black glass will give you a little more performance.  My .02.

I have an old howatt ( 1956 ) that has green glass. I love it. I've been told its called gorden glass.

I wouldn't order it, but if a fella just craved more green in his life, I wouldn't necessarily think less of him.

Seriously, if the purpose was to camoflage a bow, I'd just comment that in my experience osage, yew, and the like all work fine without any added coloration, stripes, whirls, etc.

I used to worry about bow wood being too bright. Experience has taught me not to worry...

I loved the old Bear and Root bows with the grenn glass.

May not be the fanciest or the trendiest limb material out there but in my opinion hardrock maple can't be beat and covered with a colored glass particularly black makes for a simple but classic looking bow.

If a rich dark green glass were avaiable I would go for it in a heartbeat with an osage riser with the same green glass as accent stripes, will look beautiful as the osage ages.

Hey Guys YES I WOULD I been making Hill style longbows and wish some one would make green glass and all the old Colors thay made.
We as archer's must keep it alive by helping others into the sport WE LOVE.

James Wrenn

Yeah, I like colored glass better than clear.I would like to see it in the darker colors instead of the washed out colors Gordon tried to introduce a few years back.I don't think that sold well at all.
