Frontier. 66

[Dan bree]

I was thinking of getting a longbow with a foreword riser. A handle like a recurve . With string follow  but where would I find such a bow ?    Well I found it . A frontier 66. By Steve at eagle wing. To say this is a fantastic shooting and looking bow is a understatement !    .   66 inch 55@27 . Koa riser . Boo cores. With carbon back and yew belly. Steve was just great on getting the bow to me and a great guy to talk too.   I can't post pics but emailed Steve to do it . Pics to come.

Oh man!  That bow has been tugging at me for over a year and a half...not too many people shoot'em or seem to review them.  I would love to hear your review on it.  I will own one...someday.

I just got in from the mountains. Went into the High CAscades today and shot bows and did some scouting.
Checked my emails and Bro Kirk said this needed attention. I think that meant pics. So here we are.

Nice long tips with top nocks so the new Frontier 66 has easy stringing and positive center location. You can push pull these bows with ease in the field.



Dan wanted a high gloss finish. It shows off this fantastic koa but its so bright and reflective that its hard to get a good pic. This is sure beautiful wood though. This finish is 4 coats of epoxy , Three coats of high gloss finish and then 7 or eight coats of Tru Oil and then hand compounded out and rubbed with sheep wool.



Triple overlays on the black carbon back are purpleheart, yew, and finally some more of that beautiful koa.

More to come in later post. God to get to bed.

God bless, Steve

Hey bill  lifeis to short.  Go and get yourself one. . It shoots great . Very smooth. And fast.  I was out stump shooting  Friday with her first time out to realy see how she shoots . Hickory . Forge woods . Gold tip heavy hitters. .all were about 645 grs. 55/60 spine. Handled them all very well.  .   Killed some pope and young stumps . And made some shots that I didn't believe . Had to be the bow lol.  Call up Steve. He will tell you more

This is such beautiful wood that Dan elected to not take the hand-sewn leather grip. This pic shows the black phenolic I beam in the 3/16 past center cut sight window. The window is radiused front and back. The grip profile is also evident and has a slight palm swell, The shelf is radiused front and back and side for great fletch clearance and right over the hand for nautral shooting. Unstring profile shows the foreward riser string follow profile. Do not let that fool you, This is a fast bow. The fades go out a full 27 inches and has tip wedges which place the sweet spot and also max the performance according to the draw length of the archer. These specs are for Dan's bow and are made both in length and thickness according to the draw of the archer .
All these bows come with skinny string.

The strung profile of Dan's bow shows a sleek true D fore=ward riser profile with 6 inch brace height and stable high early draw weight. For those that like a higher brace you can do that with no problem. However with 3/16 past center the arrows are soooooooooo easy to tune at a low brace there is no need unless you shoot a style that makes a low brace hit your wrist.



God bless, Steve

[Dan bree]

Dan,

I think you'll enjoy Steve's Frontier 66.  I've had mine since October 2012, and am very pleased with the looks and handling.  Rosewood riser, bamboo core with black myrtle veneer.

Is my bow cut past center, Steve, I can't remember?



The first 4 arrows at 20 yards.

[Dan bree]

Hey Phil  I'd send that bow back . You missed that little white dot ! Lol.   No wonder we like the same bows. Your 12 days older than me same year. . I got to respect my elders.   !!

[**DONOTDELETE**]

THAT.... is a nice looking piece of Koa.
