Rampart Bows

Txnrog · April 09, 2010, 02:54:00 PM

Anybody shoot them? Been eyeing them as they come into the local shop - some pretty strong shooting bows from my little experience. Any feedback on how they hold up?

Great Bow....both recurve and longbow. I've shot them at RMSG, but do not own one. They work!

I had a recurve for several years, good shooting bow. Sold it when I went to all longbows. They are a more of a "local" bow but built as well or better than any custom I've owned.

Rampart bows are great bows at a great price. The guys at Rocky Mountain Specialty Gear, a sponsor of Trad Gang carry and shoot them. Ken

I shoot a recurve of Johns that I've had for seven years now, no problems at all, very nice bow hits hard very good craftsmanship, nice grip. Check out his three piece longbow they compare very well to the pronghorns, been told they are a little quicker too.

I have a very nice recurve that I received recently from one of our fine TGr's. I really love the grip and it is smooth and extremely well built!

They are great bows. Smooth and quick, well made.

I have shot a bunch of them. Smooth. Quick. Flawless workmanship.
A little more reflex than a Pronghorn LB, with more sculpting in the grip.

I'm shooting a Rampart 3pc.L/B. Great shooter, excellent craftsmanship. "Buckster" is shooting my recurve. I can't believe I let it go.

Never owned one but have examined several and shot a few. I'll likely own one.

Dana,

Well since you let the cat outta the bag... I salute you!

The Longbow I tried of my brother in-laws shoots lights out. Very well made and a quick and quiet bow.

Barry, I'm glad you like it. I'll have another sooner than later.

I bought this second hand 3-piece takedown at RMSG a couple of years back. Great looking bow and great shooter. I also visited with John G. at his shop in the Denver area. He's a super nice guy.

They are among the best.

Smallwood · April 10, 2010, 12:31:00 PM

I had one, really great shooting bows and I loved the grip on my longbow.

Txnrog · April 11, 2010, 10:19:00 PM

Good to hear. RMSG had a nice one in the other day - was hoping you guys would give me some reasons to be less interested in picking one up.

Smallwood · April 12, 2010, 10:41:00 AM

Ya better jump on it.
oh, I should say that his longbows have a really small grip and throat.
I prefer this, but some people won't like it.
My 3-piece had the bamboo limbs, and man it shot nice with no stack or shock and ya can't beat the price.

Txnrog · April 13, 2010, 09:42:00 AM

Well, somebody put me out contention and go buy that bow from RMSG. I really can't right now - got a honeymoon and bachelor party to finance. I ALMOST walked out of the store with it yesterday.

The little devil on my shoulder was screaming in my ear, but having just bought a Trees a month ago, just placed an order on a Sarrels. . . 3 bows within 2 months when I just started with trad is a little tough to justify.
