Great bow!! I own two of John's, in this design , and I killed three turkeys and a moose this year with them! I love the grip as well.

After shooting this bow a little more, and really getting it fine tuned in terms of brace height and proper arrow, I can say this is a REALLY fine shooting bow. The grip and throat size as well as overall balance of the bow are outstanding.

I have already filled my buck tag for the season and tonight with this bow in hand I had an encounter with a real dandy. So besides being a great shooter, maybe it brings me a little luck!

Joe:

I ended up selling it back to the original owner. It was/is a very nice bow. Maybe a little short for my 32" draw but not bad.

Frankly, the original owner was the only person to express and interest in purchasing the bow.

I guess John just isn't a bowyer that is in vogue enough to generate much interest in his work.

I think I still like John's 59 Kodiak copy the best of any of his recurves.

I like his longbows best of all!

Jay, I would have bought he bow if I didn't have a wall full of them and had money.

I love his long bow as well but have yet to try a 59 replica.

Joe, that's what you get for going hunting. [readit]
