I did something yesterday I said I'd never do again - order a new custom bow!

I swore 'em off two years ago when I decided to build up a Bear collection from the 1950's, but the one one Bear bow I really want, Bear never actually made!  :D

Enter Brandon at Rose Oak Bows and his new Companion longbow!   :bigsmyl:  I was waiting (along with many others) for Brandon to offer a longbow and what he came up with is perfect for me!  The long riser and heavily reflexed limbs look like what the '59-60 Polar should have evolved into.

So in a few months there'll be a long package at my door with the bow that's been in my head for two years waiting to be shot.  Cocobolo slabs sandwiching a bird's eye maple I-beam, the riser trimmed in purpleheart like the old Kodiaks, brown glass, and gracefull lines in the 64" longbow.

My one fear is that I'm going to have to get a matching Ocelot recurve.  I'm on Brandon's list now, so everyone else feel free to check out his website and order a bow  :biglaugh:

Now I have to decide which of the old Bears need to move off the rack   "[dntthnk]"

What would you attempt to do, if you knew you could not fail?


Never leave the one you love, for the one you like.

You must post pictures when it arrives it sounds like a beauty!!

Sounds like a nice one that you have come'n. Getting rid of an old Bear should not be a big issue..lol. How long a wait do you have for the new one.
In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki
