Thoughts on McBroom's MOJO recurve...

[Russ Clagett]

I'm looking at Mr. McBroom's MOJO recurves...I sure do like the looks of them. I bought one of his longbows for my daughter and can't express how impressed I am....excellent bow.

But I've never shot one of that style of recurve...so you guys that own one..what can you tell me about it...?

Trying to decide if I want a curve or a longbow...

I'd love to see pix of your MOJO's if you don't mind putting them up...

Thanks!

There great, fast, handle well, quiet. I am having another one of his bows made, a mojo, as soon as the juniper dries so I can have those for my veneers. So far I have in the family a string follow, and 2 forward handle ASLs. I have been able to shoot the mojo several times now. And it impresses me greatly. Can't go wrong with any of his stuff.

Fyi if you look up McBroom bows on face book you can see it of mojo candy.

over the years 50s style recurves have become my favorite bows.  There is something perfect to me about a slender riser recurve with a low to medium grip and well designed limbs.  They are to me "an instinctive archer's dream".  I have a feeling Brian's Mojo has a lot to offer along these lines.  I have not shot one but everyone I have heard from who has is quite happy.  There are quite a few choices in this style bow.

I had one.  Fantastic bow!  The one word that came to mind when I opened the box was TANK! That thing was bombproof!  Brian builds a powerful bow. It was a stock bow and in the end, the grip was a little to fat for my liking so I sold her.  I regret that cause I could have sent her back to Brian to have it slimmed a little. But what a shooter it was. I'd send Brian a trace of your hand so he can sculpt the grip just right for you.

I have a Mojo and it is an absolute charm. It has a bubinga riser with bamboo cores and matte green glass with white tips. Very fast, very quiet, hits hard and yes built like a tank. Brian put an I beam in mine for his own piece of mind due to the poundage. Fit and finish is top notch, and the turn around was a couple of months. The price is very reasonable. I love the narrow and deep core limb design. I was pleasantly surprised that there was virtually no hand shock being that the riser was light in mass and small in size. The grip is bulkier than say my Super Kodiak but it gives a rock solid feel and actually helps me in keeping my thumb loose and not torqueing (sp?) the bow. To me personally, this is why I feel the Mojo is my most accurate bow in my hands. I will post some pics including one at full draw to show how the tips are working in this semi static design.

I will add that the Mojo was the easiest bow I have ever had to set up at of the box. Set brace height to 7 1/4", nock height at 1/2"...done. I have an SBD string on it now with wool string scallops. Just a real pleasure to shoot.

Sweet bow!

[Russ Clagett]

I remember seeing that Grayling Tribute on his website....that's a sweet bow...

Thanks for the advice and pics...that helps alot. I'm thinking of a 60 inch Mojo in all osage...

Ghost...what weight arrows are you shooting out of this bow?

[longrifle]

The tips look fat and chunky????

[AZ_Longbow]

Classic style recurve tips.

"The tips look fat and chunky????"

I told Brian that I wanted the bow to be a reflection of myself.....lol

I never liked the looks of an I beam but his design covers it well. Very nice and I love a 50's style.
