HH BUG GOT ME - Part Two!

[Bud B.]

That is a beautiful bow!!

[PEARL DRUMS]

I should mention each fade is 4" long. So that abrupt handle area isn't bending or moving.

Most excellent Pearl Drums!!

I cant get this stupid Photobucket thing figured out Bud? I tried.

The bow is 69" ntn, 58 @ 28", 1" fades straight tapering to 3/8" tips, basically an ALB. The grip is 2" x 4" by 7/8" wide. It was made from a 3/4 x 6 x 40 deck board scrap end. All held together by TB3 wood glue. Even the splice.

Like so...



Hope this helps a little. You have to copy each link for each pic then paste them (one at a time) into the thread. I usually have two windows open and switch back and forth until I get all the pics into a particular post.

Think I got it now. I was close! Thanks for the help Bud.

Dang Chris, that's excellent!  I was thinking the other day that we hadn't seen too many posts from you in awhile.  Now I know why.....you snuck into the ASL world.  Very nice old school steep fades.....I'm really liking this bow!

[PEARL DRUMS]

Im all over PA Rob. Ive been building bows like a fool for a few years now. Somewhere around 200 plus Id guess. Most are self bows. This one isn't so much!

That's a awesome looking bow. Really like the string to limb tip angle at full draw!

[Brianlocal3]

Outstanding build!!! That is a sweet looker

[Ric O'Shay]

That is really a shape looking bow!

I recently did a little horse trading with Steve Clandinin for this GN longbow 68" and 48@28.

This is a photo of the 1st 4 arrows out of the bow about 20 minutes after it arrived.



Here is a video I took this afternoon just to show the GN in action.



God bless,Mudd

Congrats on your new bow Roy. I really like the way it looks. Good shooting too!

[Hermon]

ah-ah-ah-AH-CHOO!

God bless you

Mudd,
Nice looking Great Northern.  Mind elaborating a bit on its shooting characteristics compared to other Hill styles you've shot?

[Mudd]

The best way I know how to tell you is.....if my Amazon Queen(JD Berry Northstar) is a 10 and my Amazon Lady(JD Berry Vixen) is a 9.5 then the GN is about an 8.5.

God bless,Mudd

One person's 9 may be another person's 10.  I have one left hand 10 and one right hand 10, anymore and I would think I was suffering from redundancy.  However,  I have three 9.5 righties and two 9.5 lefties and one recurve lefty that cannot be redundantly scored because it is not a longbow.  These figures suggest that I am off my redundant balance by one 9.5 lefty longbow.

[NBK]

Thanks Mudd.  I get it.

Great looking bow Mr Mudd  and video    

[Mudd]

I 100% agree with Pavan.

Mine is just one person's appraisal of my bows. Someone else shooting the same bows might rank them totally differently than I did.

God bless,Mudd

PS: Thanks for the kinds words guys.
