Don't know of it personally, But I do love the feel of the hybrid LB. Is it a 3 piece?? Is it local so you can shoot it before ya buy?

Welcome to tradgang, jump in any time. Let us know if ya get it or knot.

It's a solid bow not TD and its not local. That's why I wanted to see if anyone had any experience with the bow. What do you think about the price for a hybrid?

I bought one a couple of years ago when I decided I wanted to try a longbow. I have shot that bow almost every day for 2 yrs and have not had any problems with it. Bow handles well,shoots where I look,and is good looking.Bow is very tolerant of arrow spine . Give Don a call,you won't be sorry.-----------Bone

Do you think 50# is a good poundage for me? I shoot 70# with my compound. What wieght do think I should be shooting. I know traditional isn't the same because of the letoff.

50# should be good and probably be best for getting back into the proper form. They say there is a difference but I haven't been to the other side so I'll leave that those who have that experience. Good luck and welcome back.
