TXRED Thanks for the kind greeting. After reading all the great comments on Horne's Archery and all the great things said about Mark and Sandy Horne, their bows, and their donation of Hope and Faith. Well...I just knew I had to get a Horne's Mountain Bow. Just starting out and listening to the advise from Mark the specs on the bow are 60" about 47 lb at 28" I draw 27" Cocobola riser maple core limbs with bacotte veneers. I am not sure that I know what all that means But, it sure sounds pretty. P.S. The wait is killing me and I only have about 8 weeks left I dont know how some of you guys wait up to 10 months or a year.
