Can anyone comment on them, shootability etc?
Also how big is the grip, I like a fairly narrow one.

I have not shot one and only seen pics of them. But I do like what I have seen and from what everyone has said about them you can't go wrong with owning one.

Herb must be doing something right, he's been in business for long time.

I own four- soon to be five and the wife has one.  Herb is a great bow builder!

Bowtie

Pronghorns are the finest shooting longbow that I've shot. They are smooth drawing, quick, very quiet, and no recoil upon release.  I prefer the 3-pc. takedown because of more mass weight. The bowyer (Herb Meland) is super to deal with and a gentleman. My favorite is a 62", 48 lb. @ 28". In regards to the grip size.... in my opinion, a medium grip.  Very comfortable in hand.
The work praises the man.

They are the best of the best ... I would highly recommond them and the boywer.

Shedrock

I think they are great bows. I currently own 14 of them, 8 of those are his Ferret recurves. I shoot the longbows 95% of the time now, just love them.

The grip is fairly narrow, it may be what you would like.

I have a 1 PC Pronghorn. 64" 83# at 28". It is beyond awesome. Fast, powerful, quiet, hits where I look.

I had a 56" 1 pc. The bow weighed less than a pound, but had absolutely no hand shock. The grip was on the small side and i guess you could say was quit narrow. The grip really fit my small hands and i liked it a lot. I over bowed myself so i had to sell it. The 3 pc bows have larger grips.

You cant go wrong I have several. The grip is fairly narrow. Shootability? IMO they have it.

I own several and love them all.  Not a better bow around! Smooth, quiet, fast!  and very accurate!   :archer2:

Here are a few from Shedrock.

Hopefully some of these will give you an idea of what the grip is like.

I could use superlatives all night. You won't regret buying one. You would regret selling one.

Doug in MN

One of the best guys you will ever deal with and he builds a very fine bow. I have a new one on the way in a couple of months.

Herb has been making great shooting bows for a fair number of years.

Austin Brown

I've got one coming soon also, can't wait!!!  When did you order your's Doug?  I think I'm getting close, but I hate to bother Herb by checking.

Mr.Vic

I had the 3pc one years ago and sold it. Hated myself ever since. That is until Stickhorse came to my rescue two seasons ago. The first one had a fatter grip, this one has a smaller grip. All the above said. And she ain't getting out of my sight.
