G-L Mantis hunter longbow?????

[ron w]

Anyone out there shoot one of these. I just got one off the classifieds 56" 52# @28, and would like some input or opinions on the bow. Looks to be a good bow for tight cover and ground blind use......any thoughts???

Gene Sanders and Larry Holden are two of the finest bowyers around...as well as two of the finest men you'll meet. I'm proud to call them both friends. They have been instrumental on a grassroots level in growing Georgia's traditional bowhunting community.

They make great little bows, we still have 4 in our house. Excellent craftsmanship and performance...very good value for the dollar.

If you need specific info, call Gene directly @ 770-445-9299. I'm sure he'll be happy to answer any questions you may have. Careful though, you may find yourself placing another on order!

They still build bows!!!!!!!!! Oh man , I heard different, what great news!!!!!!!!!Marco

[ron w]

Not sure if they still make them or not. The one I got is a used older one......

[JC]

Marco, Gene and Larry have recently started back building after a few years off...but now they are coming back strong and the guys are already lining up.

Yeah, they just started back up and have some really cool new designs in the works.

Gene and Larry are both great guys and great bowyers.My first custom bow was a G&L and I still miss that bow and regret selling it. They are also very helpfull and taught me how to build bows as well.

Im really exited that they are building again, I only live 15 minutes from them so I get to see and touch all the new bows as they are being made! LOL

[ron w]

So you fellas that have had one,how did you like the performance and fit and finish of these bows?

[Lewis Brookshire III]

You will not be disappointed..

[ron w]

Well thats good to hear. Can't wait for it to get here in the mail.

[Cyclic-Rivers]

Tell you what Ron, when it shows up call me. I will come over and tell yo how it shoots  

[Interseptor]

Ron W,
Did you buy that bow off of the GON site?  It looks like the first G&L bow that I owned.  Sold it to guy in the north Georgia area.  I plan on contacting Gene & Larry because I always wanted their T/D longbow.  They are great guys.

[ron w]

Got it from here on the classifieds, fella from Rex Ga. Its got Zebra wood lams and a side mount quiver.

[Lewis Brookshire III]

Douglas, you might want to wait just a bit to see the new T/D Longbow!! Just sayin......

[Cyclic-Rivers]

Ron, Now whatchya think?  I think you found a good one!

   

[ron w]

I'm not sure if I should let you shoot that G&L again...lol!!! It is a good shooting bow and almost silent, I really did well when I picked that one up of the classifieds. The good thing is if I want to gid rid of it, I now know where to go.

[Cyclic-Rivers]

 
You wont have to ever convince me so as long as you dont tell my wife    

I'm surprised that sweet shooting thing has seen so many owners.  

Let me know when you've had enough.

ps thanks for the great day of shooting!  I had a blast er I mean whiff.
