Ken Roloff's bows he keeps getting better and better.

Whippensticks are great.

I like the looks of the PCH (but I don't shoot recurves well)

Hey Matt, who's Ken Roloff? any info on the type of bow, maybe a website??
Thanks!!

The new Tomahawk Legacy series 3 piece takedown longbow looks great. And I am not a takedown fan. If it shoots half as good as their diamond series SS it ought to be a heck of a bow.

Ken Roloff is the bowyer at Whippen Stick bows. I'm really liking the new 50's-style recurve: the Inferno. It's on my short list.

Post by: LongStick64 on January 13, 2012, 07:17:00 AM
The one piece Zipper is going to be a hot one. I'd love to see how it compares to my recent South Cox Renegade longbow, because that bow is a serious standout for me.

Post by: Friend on January 13, 2012, 09:15:00 AM
I too, am quite thrilled with the bows I am quite fortunate to own.  By active involvement and being immersed w/I TG, one is challenged not to be enamored by the bountiful fine pieces of art depicted by the skilled artisans we call bowyers.

Actually the only possible need I have is a lighter bow to focus on perfecting form. The rest are all wants and if a newly acquired bow happens to pleasingly surprise me, then so be it. I have wandering eyes.

x3.  I can't wait to see it in person at Kzoo.  I've got two of their 56" curves at the moment in 45 and 50lbs that I've picked up used off this forum.  Trying to sell the 45lb to down pay an actual custom build.

Post by: Tim on January 13, 2012, 10:35:00 AM
I think the Toelke bows will come on strong.  Dan's new Lynx model has 3 choices of limbs. The Whip longbow limbs, his new HS longbow limbs and his recurve limbs.  Plus his delivery time is incredible, most often we are talking weeks, not months!

Good question, with all the great Bowyers around now it's hard to settle on just one. So this year I have on order, A Big Foot-Sasquach which should be ready by month's end, a Blacktail 1-piece my third, and an Australiam Huntsman by Mark Kimber.  The first two will be Black & White Ebony, the Huntsman will be made of Australian Timbers, primarily, Tasmanian Black Heart Sassafras.  Oh yeah, gonna be a good year.

I ordered the 2012 Bear TD Bubinga A riser on December 14th with #1 limbs. I'm hoping my request for a more narrow grip throat is granted.

The only other is a Habu Recurve (newly designed, wider limbs)I've had on order exactly one year. I don't think it will arrive in 2012 though.

Have had mine for 3 weeks, can't believe how good a shooter it is, together with Allen's workmanship....this bow is a winner.
