[Panhead Johnson]

Mudd, I like that too. I hope this thread doesn't fade away. I'd enjoy seeing an assortment of horse bows and information on the bowyers.

Look in the bowers bench section for a post by Angel DeVille,,there are pics of one he made and he might make for others but im not sure.

So, Mr. Mudd,

Where did you find this particular bow?

[JamesKerr]

Okay what I want to know is how on earth you guys go about stringing/unstringing these bows.

[JEFF B]

just like any other bow but a little bit more careful  

[Mudd]

I used a bow stringer and a lot of caution.

This one is from Attila Archery.

God bless,Mudd

When it comes to horse bows, I've always been partial to the Saluki line of horse bows.

The Ibex model has always caught my eye and it comes in 58", 60" and 62" lengths.

I have an Ibex.
It is un-real.

Has a 'let off' feeling, the exact opposite of stack.

And.

I always, always miss high and right when I pick it up for the first time in months.

James Parker (Huntworthyproductions) makes authentic Asiatic Horn Bows(aka horse bows). These bows are authentic to their original regin, types of horn, sinew, glues, finishes and methods. They are a bit pricey but if you are looking for the "real thing" check out James' bows.

[JEFF B]

thanks for the info pat. but i just want something to hunt with it don't have to be fancy i have a soft spot for the horse bow.

I have shot the saluki bows.....they are nice....

[Pat B]

James also makes a glass version and a bamboo version I believe.

[iohkus]

Hope to have a Saluki SOME day ...............

Mine was a U-finish model from Atillasarchery.com

I just finished it. It's a #60 @ 33" I'm extremely happy with it and haven't looked crosseyed at my longbow for a month.
