Title: Ever just have to?
Post by: Kenneth on February 14, 2011, 08:20:00 PM
Have you ever seen a bow you just have to have even when you think it may not work for you?  Well I'm a 1pc or 2pc longbow guy and just shoot a bow with a traditional locator type grip the best.  I've tried 3pc. longbows and a few curves and just couldn't shoot them as well.  Well tonight I made the mistake of looking at the Robertson bows and now I have to have a Raven Styk!  Yep I've got it bad!   :help:     Hopefully I can raise the funds and prove myself wrong and this bow will be a great shooter for me.

The good news is, hard to make a mistake with any Robertson. Best of luck. New bow shoot pix please.

Good luck with the funds and the bow! If it shoots as good as it looks.... look out!

I think I'm gonna call them tomorrow to send it for a test drive.  I at least have to try it out or it'll make me crazy.   :D

If they will send you one to try out, before you buy it, that is one heck of a great bow company. Keep us posted on what you decide and note which particular model you get and the poundage.

I think we have all been there with you brother... one of the many beauties of trad; sometimes we cannot control our emotions when it comes to this sport.

WOW!  Anybody else think that $945 is expensive for a bow with black glass and maple riser?  Admittedly it's selling for 350 less than that.  What the heck would a bow cost with nice veneers and exotic wood in the riser?
