I recently bought Marty's personell 2 piece Supelo TD.I have always had a love affair with mild reflex deflex longbows since I started shooting traditional bows.I have owned about all of them at one time or another.

I had not tried one of Marty's bows yet.But have been wanting to for awhile.I really liked that 2 piece Supelo when he posted pics of it a few months ago.I inquired about it then.

Marty put it for sale recently and I jumped on it pretty quick.I just had to try it out!Its a connexion hinge TD.Its 68 inches and 50#s at 28.I draw it around 30 inches.

I recieved the bow today.It was packed well in a PVC tube.I pieced it together and strung it up.Set the nockpoint at 1/2 inch.Braced at just over 7 inches.

I shot about 30-40 arrows from 20 yards.I only missed the kill zone one time.Its really well made and a pleasure to shoot.Its very stable and this grip is really sweet.The glue lines and tip overlays and finish are 1st rate.

This is a superb D shaped bow.I was shooting a 12 strand B-50 string.CX Heritage 250s cut to 31 inches and 200 grains up front.Probably around 575-600 grains.I have not weighed the arrows.They flew well.I believe this is cut 1/8th out from center.But am not sure.

Marty did a super job on the connexion hinge.He recessed that in the overlays on the back of the riser for a smooth transition thier.I put a rubber roll on grip on it.

Just a thumbsup for a tradgang Sponser,good guy and sweet bow!

I bumped that thread Marty had running titled (First Two Piece With Connexion Hinge) up top in the POW WOW so you can see the bow if you are interested in a peek at it.You would think he had built 100 of thse TDs with how good he finished this one out.Rock solid,perfect fit!!!

Marty makes a nice one...I love my Cumberland!!

I didn't claw my way to the top of the food chain to eat vegetables!

I noticed that bow just the other day, it's a beauty. Congrats

Thanks Joshua

Tried it with a eagles flight 4 arrow quiver tonight and it shot very well with the quiver attached.I use the 4 arrow hood combined with a 3 arrow gripper.It spaces the arrows nicely.

I would be completly comfortable and confident taking this rig hunting tommorrow.When shot about all you hear is the string cutting the wind,sssssst,thats about it.
