That's a sweet looking rig Johnny! Gregg never disappoints.

I have the same impressions of the 52" Magnum, I'm simply amazed by how well this short bow shoots. It puts a smile on my face every time I shoot it. Gregg Coffey is a genius.

I'll be sharing some new pics any day now.   :archer2:

Quote from: Camp Creek on February 09, 2026, 01:38:29 PMWow, I'm pleasantly surprised I could go that short!  I was going to be happy if I could get down to 64".  Those plans look pretty intriguing and quite possibly just what I'm looking for.
I'd like to stick with 60lbs as that's what I have now and hopefully I can keep shooting my current set of arrows.  We do have some pretty big pigs here, 300 lbs or so, and I'd like to have a bit more thump if shooting one of those guys.

Thanks,

Nothing wrong with shooting 60# . i'm 70 years old and my hunting bow is 57#.  Its always best to hunt with as much draw weight as you can use comfortably. no such thing as too much power with a 300 pig. :thumbsup:

if you don't mind a 64" bow, and want more of a D shape long bow design. check out my flatliner design here. These will easily draw to 31" without stacking in a 64" length. I might even be able to share a template so you can get a form built. Maybe a little horse trading?

Are you wanting a one piece, or a take down model?   Here are both.

And here is my Sasquatch Hybrid long bow... this limb design will draw 33" at a 60" length with no stacking or finger pinch.

The good news is that i believe the water thin super glue treatment will most likely take care of it and keep it from going further. Take your time and let it sink in deep after several applications until it fills completely.  good luck.

Thanks Kirk! I live in the Texas panhandle and humidity is usually really low. I think the riser was at least four years old before I noticed the crack.

Quote from: Kelly on February 09, 2026, 05:53:44 PMWhere did you get those rubber feet? All I've got with mine were tennis balls that constantly come off.

Those have been a great upgrade. They are meant for canes. I actually got the idea from someone else on here, but I can't remember who. I got them from Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CRB8DCJD

@Maclean, thank you for all the advice and pics! I ended up getting myrtle burl and G10 in the riser, and lightly stained olive ash limb veneers, along with moose antler overlays on the handle and tips. I love it!
