About a week ago I read a post on Jeffrey's Archery that talked about Jeffrey's having a new longbow called the Longhunter. So I wanted to see for myself. Many folks out there remember that Jeffreys use to make the Bamboo Longhunter for Dan Quillian. I got chance to visit Dan's shop back in the day when he was located in the back of that strip mall plaza in Athens(a great guy and an awsome shop). I always liked the longhunter and wished that it was offered with more wood opptions. Well Jeffrey's has brought the longhunter back. The bows that I saw were 64 inches and they have a wide variety of wood options, black or brown glass to clear glass with different veneers. The longhunter that I shot was 50lbs@28. Beautiful Zebra wood veneers and a joy to shoot. It also slung the CX150 that I was shooting with authority. A few pictures of the longhunter. I took these with a cell phone so please forgive. This is the zebra wood bow. Unfinished bows

Oh man, this is excellent news! I was shooting my Bamboo Longhunter last night, and you're right, it's a joy to shoot.
Those look great. Dan knew how to design a Longbow for sure. I'll be checking these out.
Thanks for the head's up!

Good looking design. Perhaps someday I'll see how one shoots.

Well Blaine if you have an itch, then scratch it! Your probably like the most of us. We buy a new bow and just slide it on the rack so the big boss does not notice!
