Lewis Hollow Takedown Longbow [ Bow Pics]

bentpole · March 01, 2008, 04:36:00 PM

I've been wanting to shoot one of these for a while. Last week I spoke to Chris, gave him my info and this came in the mail today.She's a try before you buy takedown longbow. Padauk riser,maple limb cores,osage limbs, 62"s with a 15" riser,48#s at 28"s. I grabbed a handful of carbons and took her for a ride. I have shot and owned a bunch of bows but the riser on this one fits like it was molded to your hand.Fast, quiet, smooth to draw, and no hand shock. How does it shoot? Check out the pictures.

Quality workmanship and Chris is a true gentleman to deal with. The bow is very impressive and priced right. I might have to get a partime job now.Lewis Hollow Bows is also a sponsor here.

Nice bow

I have two Lewis Hollow bows. A 1 pc recurve and a 3 pc longbow. I am not sure there is a better deal for a custom built 3 pc long bow.
Bentpole- you are absolutely right-"Chris is a true gentleman."
I am lucky to call him a friend as well!
Enjoy shooting that thing!!!If I were you I'd try and buy and then order another

Tom,

Nice looking bow! She's a bit powerful to be able to knock that big maple tree over in your yard! LOL

Joe,
I have always told Chris that his pictures dont seem to do the bows justice. Your pictures do! I always enjoy seeing your photos! Those are outstanding!

Wow nice pictures Joe! She can shoot too can't she? I'm going to hate to send her on her way.

bentpole · March 05, 2008, 08:47:00 PM

Just spoke to Chris.Of course he was in the shop building bows. I told him I regret to send her back but she'll go back tomorrow. Thanks again Chris!
