Wow, Basil_K, you really do want one bad! My experience is that when you want a bow pretty badly, you usually find one! Posts: 2844 | From: Charleston, WV | Registered: Mar 2003

Mine are all for sale at a steal of a price of cost + 20% ! LOL
For a while I was buying and trading bows quite often, mostly used, but then after living with them for a period I really started to figure out what I prefer, and started growing attached to the ones I settled in on. Now I buy and sell occasionally, but only bows that aren't firmly in my stable and about 1 at a time. I still like experimenting and shooting different styles of longbows. At one point I had as many as 8 or 9 Hill style bows, and shaved it down to 4 that have more function and meaning to me...now it takes me 2 seconds to know if I like a bow.

I'd take the Tembo and the $50 over the Wesley, more Boo, less glue. The Redman is another story, tough decision there. My next bow will be all Yew.

Nice!
I reread this again and realize that while Ron said it concerning longbowmen in a resurging longbow awareness, we have that same awareness among the traditional archery ranks today. A very timeless quote. Thanks for posting it. Posts: 903 | From: Kimberly, Id | Registered: Feb 2004

Anyone here have any experience with the large take-down sleeve. I want an idea of the approximate circumference/thickness the grip on one would be.
I’m looking to order an 82# bow and want to know if I could get a proper grip on the bow.
