GrizzlyStik Adcock Longbow
« on: October 13, 2009, 09:56:00 PM »
I had asked this question in another thread that got closed for some reason.  Someone said they had shot this bow in testing. I would like to know how it felt and shot.  If anyone has shot a prototype and can share their opinion without violating nondisclosure agreements, what was your opinion? I understand it was only a prototype and not the finished product also.

I believe Joe-Buck has seen and shot the prototype, perhaps he can give us his opinion?  Hey Joey?

BTW, is this a metal and glass recurve ILF-style OR quazai-"longow" or semi-recurve OR ??

It would be nice to get the first hand information, although I can understand not wanting to spread information from a prototype.  I am guessing that a real informative test report will be coming out soon. I just am like a kid at Christmas. I want to peek a bit before the day!

I am not an expert in bow design but the photos I have seen on the website looks like it is a r/d longbow.

Guess we will have to wait for the firsthand reports. Problem is I am wanting to buy a bow now. Guess I am never satisfied.

The test results are in, Blacky Schwarz did a review in Oct/Nov TBM.  Bow price $ 1,499.90 bow speed, 28"A.M.O 47.5lbs. @28" 426gr. arrow (8.9gpp 187fps) shot with finger release. Hmmm! I'll stick with my cheap slow bow, but that's just me.

The test results of the Tradtech ILF with Carbonwood $220 limbs shot the same speed in the TBM I read.  That really surprised me.

Actually, the results have been on the A.B.S. website for awhile. It's intersting that they claim the bow is "blazing fast" with heavy arrows and then publish chronograph results shooting no heavy arrows. The bow averaged just shy of 184 f.p.s. with a 10 to 1 set-up, the heaviest listed and very good performance but still exceeded by a number of American custom bowyers who produce d/r long bows with some carbon and matched by a number who use none.
  The add stresses how light the bow is and pictures one on a postal scale reading 31.9 ounces. My own Toelke Whip on a postal scale weighs 19! There has been a similar thread on here before and to me the question remains when you consider the manufacturer's advertised specs and performance data, where is the $1499.00? There are a number of American custom bowyers who can craft a beautiful hand-made bow of exotic woods to a customers specifications and charge from less than half to a few hundred dollars less than the price of a Quarbon Nano. As an example Dan Toelke's Whip is $700.00 and for his 3 pc. take-down Lynx $925.00 I believe. It's a free country and traditional archery is fun and games, recreation if you will but I truly am perplexed at what someone might see in this bow, imported with a $1499.00 price tag?
  In closing and I will qualify this as strictly my personal opinion but that all carbon, blazing fast, super light puppy is also "competition ugly"

I am seriously considering Dryad for my forst ILF bow. Good reviews, beautiful bows, and good people.
