New To Me Crow Creek Copperhead Recurve

[WildmanSC]

A new to me Crow Creek Copperhead recurve was shipped my direction yesterday.  Below are some pics:







The riser is Cocobolo and Bocote and the limbs are instrument grade curly elm, first time I've seen or heard of curly elm, with Bocote accents on the limbs.  

I've had 4 of Elmer's Black Feather longbows and this will be my first CC recurve.

Thats a sweet looking bow!  

[WildmanSC]

bretto,

Will do.  If it shoots anywhere near the level of the Black Feather longbows, it will be a great shooting bow.

Hey Bill, I think it shoots better than his crowmags and his blackfeathers. The absolute quietist recurve I have ever shot. He said when I ordered it that it was the prettiest curly elm he would ever get in his lifetime.

Martin,

I received a PM from Elmer telling me the limbs are curly ash.  He said he was only able to get enough of it to build four bows.  He said the laminations came from 1 in a 1000 ash boards.  I would imagine that the vast majority of the 1 in a 1000 go into instruments, like guitars.

TJ,

My lifetime with stickbows is about 8 years.  I've bought, sold and/or traded somewhere around 105 to 110 bows in that span of time.  It's really not as many as some I know of who go through that many in a year.

bill,i was following this sale for a while,you did good, it is beautiful.i traded for a cc recurve in nov. and enjoy shooting it, it shoots
cedar and 3 different stiffness aluminums so lots
of flexability in arrow choices.

Doug,

The first arrows I'll be trying out of it are ABS GrizzlyStik Sitkas, cut to 29" BOP, with 100 gr inserts and a 125 gr point up front.  They fly great out of my three T/D recurves that are 46, 47 and 48#@28".  What BH do you use on your recurve?

Thanks for the tips.

Bill
