[Over&Under]

Exactly what fisher said, what a downright bangup job, especially for your first one!!!!!!!!!

[deadpool]

wait!!

do you guys think i made this!?/
lol

[Chisler]

Yeah, that's bocote alright!  Looks like you made a great choice.  Have fun.

[DannyBows]

You got a sweet lookin' bow there. I like the design in the riser, and those Bocote limbs are sharp. Great natural camo too. I just started shooting longbows this year also. I got two 56" hybrid longbows and can't put them down. Haven't shot any of my recurves for months.
  Good luck with her!

very nice bow , congrats :0)

[Over&Under]

Sorry I am a horrible reader, bangup job picking a longbow that is...LOL

[Izzy]

Nice looking bow whatever the woods are

[deadpool]

thanks guys!!

any idea who the bowyer may be?

[**DONOTDELETE**]

 great looking bow  

[deadpool]

one more thing i might add about the bow, which I've never seend on any other longbow, limbs are shaped like a trapazoid.
thanks

Trapped limbs are fairly common on longbows. Some are narrow on the back and some on the belly. I'm not sure why, perhaps the materials make a difference. My Kanati has trapped limbs as well, but yours is not a JK bow. Sorry, I can't tell you who did make it.

Very nice looking bow though!

[Bob Barnes]

beauty for sure...looks like a Berry bow except for the normal tips...     very nice.

hey bob I checked out berry's bows!
i think we have a winner!

I say that because I'm lookin at the lines his Renaissance bow has in its riser,

they are just the same as my longbow!!

thank you!

still not a hundred percent sure though lol!


though the tips are kinda of a throw off!

[buckshot95]

that is a very nice longbow. I really like the looks of lonbows. i am looking abotu getting one some day. i shoot a recurve. "very nice"!!!

[Bob Barnes]

I guess it helps to have owned about every bow made...     James Berry used to make bows with "normal" tips like that...It seems like my favorite Pit/Pin Viper was a lot like yours.  If it had been less than 70# I would still own it.
You have a nice one there.
Bob
