Any body have any resent experience with 21 Century Long bows. Made by Milton Calaway?

I do. Love mine. It was built in February of this year. Some people like Milton, some have claim bad experiences. Most of what's on the net is from a good few years ago. Many trophies and belt buckles have been won with his bows, which he did not design of course, but he still makes them the way Jim and Buddy did before they sold him the company. The design speaks for itself. Superb shooting bows. Fast, very accurate/stable, and absolutely quiet, my 70"er nears selfbow levels of quiet.

The finish work Milton puts on his bows is 'hunting utilitarian'. Don't expect fit/finish up there with the top of the mountain bowyers. But its enough. They are shooters is what matters to most who have them. Someone once said "the uglier they are the better they shoot." Mine is made with pretty wood. Cocobolo riser, bocote back veneer, maple belly, carbon/maple core. Can you say SMOOTH draw? My 70"er does not have a stopping point. I've tried drawing clear behind my head and it just keeps going. The bow just stacks arrows. If you consider what most other top shooting bows go for, they are a relative bargain. I'd be happy to share pics of mine if you like.

I need to cut down. A solid couple months NOT clicking on the classifieds would help. But hey, at least it's not cocaine or Big Macs. LOL

As stated above not the best finish. However they flat shoot. I have won a few tournaments with my 70" Edge. It is 60# @ 28" and has killed quite a few things. With my 650gr. arrows I get about 175 fps.
