I'm a recurve guy since I can't shoot a straight grip style longbow accurately. But, I must say I love the way your hybrid longbow looks, especially the grip.     :thumbsup:    

Great photos too.    :)   So clear and crisp. I might get a "weak moment" and mosey on over to Border Archery's site and take a look at this model.     :D

High class bow for sure!

Beautiful bow, and beautiful photos too!

I am usually not a fan of inserted decorations on a bow but that napped head looks great like that.

Good luck hunting with it  :)

That is a looker!!!!

I'm not into longbows and hybrids very much but that bow is just flat out gorgeous!

Who makes it and what model is it?

Thanks guys, glad you all like it. Beautiful bow that shoots well too, having my cake and eating it!  :D

Festivus, it's made my Border Bows in Scotland. It's a Hawk Hunter.
