Thanks Ben , yes a sleeve handle will be available as well as the bowbolt system.
All three bows have Yew veneers BMG, that one is an exceptional set isnt it?

I'm liking the looks of them Ted I did'nt see them on your site, wondering how much and what options you plan on offering, cause I think I might just need one

Awesome love the profile.

JV Rooster · December 21, 2011, 07:16:00 AM

Very nice bows.

BMG · December 21, 2011, 08:01:00 PM

Wow, I would have never guessed yew veneers. Those look great.

Ted Fry · December 22, 2011, 01:21:00 PM

Working on getting them on the site by the first of the year , for now feel free to call and ask questions or PM me.
Takedown for now will be two piece only , maybe three in the future , I am working on that idea right now, got some crazy things in my head, now I just have to get them out.

PaddyMac · December 22, 2011, 02:08:00 PM

Well, well, well.

I think I might just swing by on one of my trips to Portland.

Ted Fry · December 23, 2011, 01:00:00 PM

Well , the one with the leather grip, 60" 60# is off to a new home, enjoy Noah! Good hunting.

Ted Fry · December 27, 2011, 10:09:00 PM

Here are some better pictures, should have them up on the web site by the first of the year.

Happy new year !

Well there you have it, the peek is over. Nice work Ted Sorry about tooting your horn for you but I saw how those look and how well they shoot. Nothing like that should continue in the dark.

Ted Fry · December 29, 2011, 12:20:00 PM

You are forgiven SecondSeason should be starting on your bow this week or next, spent the day cutting up yew logs to laminations yesterday, should be able to find a nice set for your new bow.

tippit · December 29, 2011, 09:56:00 PM

Ted,
As usual, they look Real nice!

Brently · December 30, 2011, 01:17:00 AM

I was at Raptor Archery and Ted let me shoot the Signiture bow with stippled grip, what a super nice,smooth and quiet bow. You guys out in this neck of the woods need to get by and check this bow out. You will be impressed!

Ted Fry · January 03, 2012, 03:05:00 PM

Thanks Tippit and Brently!
OK there is a page on our web site now under bows and bowbuilding in the Raptor Signature longbow page, working on more pictures and option drop downs but at least its up.

SecondSeason · February 27, 2012, 03:40:00 PM

So the sneak peek is almost ready to go. Stopped in at Raptor Archery last saterday to see my soon to be "New" bow. WoW what a piece of art. Ted worked with me to fit the handle to my hand, I can almost see it now the arrow slipping off the string and heading straight for that huge Tom turkey. month and a half to go thanks Ted.

David Mitchell · February 27, 2012, 04:08:00 PM

Wow, Ted, that profile sure resembles my Anderson Hyak. It sure is a great shooter.

Bjorn · February 27, 2012, 05:21:00 PM

Wow! That bow profile looks outstanding-what is the delivery time for a 50# 64" bow with leather grip?
