Foley recurve

indianalongbowshooter · February 13, 2008, 07:44:00 AM

If youve never tried a Foley recurve you dont know what your missing, traded for one awhile back and have just here recently been shooting it alot, got a chance to chronograph it the other day w/arrows from 8gr.#-10gr# at alittle over 28 in. draw and its smoking fast...averaged 203 fps. w/8gr.#, 192 fps.w/9.2gr.# and 185 fps. w/10gr.#. Was shooting it last night at our 3-d dart league and buy the time it was over 2 guys were wanting to buy it, its quite, stable and has one of the best grips on a bow Ive had. If you havent shot one you owe it to yourself to, these bows will hang with the best of them out there in every department.

They look a little like a Palmer-I want one, but my new RER isn't even here yet, but it is being shipped this week!

Dean I hear ya loud and clear. I regret the moment I ever traded my Foley off, the fastest 51# bow I have ever shot. the grip was like the Asbell grip on a widow Those sleek dirty bamboo limbs and a Rosewood wave in it, Awesome bows no doubt.

Hey Rob, I think Ive got your old bow, its got the dirty bamboo limbs and is 51@28, sent Ron a pic. of it and he said it might be a bloodwood wave with bocote riser, what woods were the one you had, I bet this is the same bow, Ill post a pic later....Dean

Ron is a giant among bowyers-or just about any other group. His bows are also mighty sweet.

Tim, were you the original owner by chance?

I was set up next to Ron's booth at the McAlester shoot last August. I spent some time admiring his work and it was a pleasure to sit and talk with him and his wife. I never shot one of his bows because I knew if I did I'd be handing him some money.
