Title: 52” T/D Longbow
Post by: JGR1269 on April 21, 2024, 10:39:13 AM

I put together an experimental short 3-piece longbow specifically for some turkey hunting from a ground blind next month. The specs are 52”, 50#@27”. The riser is East Indian Laurel and Katalox. The limbs are Spanish Cedar cores with a Bocote wedge and a Black Walnut tip wedge under black glass.

Another very nice bow. I like the way the limbs open up at brace and more so at full draw.  :thumbsup:
