I got my new Black River Hybrid Longbow last Friday and was very happy with it straight out of the box, the wood's that Will used look great! The bow is 60" 55@28 and really throws an arrow, the bow is very very quiet and has no vibration after the shot. The bow is very smooth with steady weight all the way through my almost 29" draw. Once I got it bareshaft tuned I took it outside and started shooting it. This bow puts the arrow right were I'm looking and was hitting or coming very close to everything I was looking at out to 45 yards! I took the bow on a hog hunt just a few days after I got it and was very rough on it and the finish held up better than I expected. If your looking for a great performing 3pc longbow that will except recurve limbs on the same riser this ones it. It's got great mass weight with the woods in mine which is Bocote and Zircote which I really like.

I've watched Will Cooke come a long ways with his bow designs over the last two years, and can personally vouch for his dedication to detail....
Nice looking bow there Will! :thumbsup:
It definitely has the curves in the right places. ;) and looks a bit familiar too.... :goldtooth:
-
Thanks for the quick response!
-
Thanks guys! Facebook is the best way to get a hold of him right now. I talked to him a couple days ago and he said he's working on a website.
-
Some of Wills bows make my jaw drop. Same with Spurs bows. Amazing.
-
Beauty!
-
Wow! That is a good looking bow :thumbsup:

I like it. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Oh my goodness! That is striking.
-
Beautiful bow. What is his turnaround time on a build?
-
glad to see your finally shooting a weight I can handle lol, look forward to shooting it this spring at a 3d. So is this one going turkey hunting.
-
Thanks everyone, this bow shoots great and is fast! I shot 5 arrows today out at 50 yards with it and put 3 of those 5 arrows in a little 10"-12" rubber ball that was sitting in the yard. It points very well, I think his turn around time is around 3-4 month's.

She's a beaut Clark!

Beautiful bow! I love the grip, and the wood combination is a winner. If it shoots as good as it looks you've got a keeper.

Here's a better look at the grip

That bow is gorgeous. I am a sucker for those dark wood combos. Congrats.
-
Not sure how I missed this post when it first came out but that is a beautiful bow you have there. Will sure is making some great looking sticks!
Now if I can only get him to add a one piece R&D Longbow to his line I'd be his first customer to give it a go!
-
I missed it as well! That's a Beauty Logan!
-
That sure is a beauty. I had the same results in the ability to point the bow and hit where you were looking on the test bow I shot. I could have taken it out that night and been very confident with it. I wish I could have just kept it! I was going to order one but came across a Bob Lee Ultimate I couldn't pass up. I plan to have one on order next year for sure though.
-
Man those are good lookin' bows!
Thanks for sharing!
-
That's nice, I really like the limb profile. Well the riser is outstanding looking also. Ok that's a beauty of a bow. :biglaugh:

dang thats a looker for sure!
