Title: German Apparition
Post by: AR RidgeRunner on August 13, 2014, 08:36:00 PM
Just sent Apparition #2 to Hubi. I think he kind of likes it, this is his first group out of it. Got an e-mail from him the second day to let me know he got a Robin Hood and destroyed nocks on a couple more arrows. His is a 60" with phenolic and Ziricote riser and carbon backed limbs.

He'll be shooting in the German LB championship in a few weeks. Good luck Hubi!
I shipped it before I got any good pics so maybe Hubi can add some later.

Very cool! What lengths will this be offered in?
Title: Re: German Apparition

Right now it's offered in 58", 60" and 62". Will probably do a 54" and 56" along with a 2 piece socket style TD.
My plan was to build a one piece with the same forward riser and limb geometry as my 3 piece TD. It's a little more stable, a little quieter and a tad faster but still has no hand shock with about 1/2 the mass weight of the 3 piece. Sometimes things just work out.

Great Shooting Hubi. Good luck at the competition.

Great looking Bow Kent.

Some things go well together, its obvious Hubi and Apparition are one of them.

I guess I missed it, is it a LB or recurve?
Title: Re: German Apparition
Post by: Flying Dutchman on August 15, 2014, 01:40:00 AM
It is a hybrid LB

I agree. And TimberGhosts are the best of the best (IMO). If you haven't checked them out yet, you definitely should.

Can I ask how you sent the longbow to Germany?  Which service  did you use?

I will keep an eye out for your bow over here...It will be interesting to see how Hubi does...

Thanks
Alex

I used USPS Priority International Express. I think it was 89.00.
I also built a lightweight wooden crate to ship it in, just felt safer than cardboard. Shipped the one piece a a 3 pc TD in the same crate.
Worked out well.
