Quote from: Maclean on January 12, 2026, 03:14:08 PMI have a 52" Elkheart Magnum and my DL is 28½". I'm astonished by how well this bow shoots. I bought it specifically for hunting in tight spaces and relatively short distances (inside 20 yards), but to my delight it is one of, if not the most, accurate bows I own, at any distance. It groups the same as my 64" Toelke Whip. The draw cycle is ultra smooth, without a hint of stacking past 29", and no finger pinch. The forward handle and unique limb design  are unlike anything I've shot before. It points naturally and is surprisingly stable. I'm sure that the 50" Magnum would be perfect for your 27" DL. Gregg Coffey is an exceptional bowyer.

I am so glad to hear you are still loving it! he's starting on mine now! 

Many years ago read an article about soaking wood arrows in boiled linseed oil or Danish oil. It was done with a soaking tank made from pvc. I soaked 6 arrows in light walnut Danish oil for a few days probably, don't really remember. I just shot one of those yesterday.  That arrow is at least 15 years old. I used duco cement for the fletching. I may give it a try again

got the email/text from Gregg today that my Elkheart Magnum is ready to be built. excited! you guys still liking and hunting with yours?

Thanks guys, yep Mike, I have some glass to get rid of but other than that I'm done...

Thanks to all for the 17 years of being customers! 

Amazing Clint; must be one helluva project.

Shick

Those look great!!

 

So your quitting end of 2025 correct?

Nice shot Terry.

Been wearing progressives for many decades, no issues.  Yep, did take some getting used to for maybe a day at most and then they became as natural as if I wasn't seeing through lenses.  At least for me, progressives are excellent for any activity: reading a book, using a computer, watching the boob tube, shooting a bow, or shooting a long gun or handgun.

Perhaps the OP's issue is that they're not the right prescription, or the right fit, or both.  A GOOD pair of progressive lenses these days will run in excess of $700.  The progressives I always use have Crizal lenses that are tough, take a beating, last many years of what some would consider near abuse.
