Meet John Jr
« on: July 22, 2010, 02:54:00 PM »
I named this bow after the friend that gave it to me.

English Longbow of yew wood with cow horn tip nocks.

John Jr is 77" N-T-N and pulls about 90@30".

I was amazed that I am able to shoot it.

Thanks for watching.

God bless,Mudd

It's hard to believe how massive that bow is till you see it close up.

Mudd, I do believe you've been reading too many Raging Water posts. Next you'll be posting your workout schedule/routine to pull the new #110er on the way! Lol! Enjoy, cool bow.    :notworthy:

BTW--That bow matches your hat perfectly.

Roy,

Welcome to the Dark Side! (sounds of evil chuckling)

It is great to see you drawing that Man Bow!!!

How come you can string yours and not break it?

Hey Mud,

With that cap and bow, all you need are some green tights and an authentic english accent. Great bow, great viseos, thanks for sharing!!!!

That is a heavy bow!!
I would needa workout just to start pulling that bow.

If I ever buy something like that I`ll guess my fysiotherapist will be wating at the post office with flowers when I pick it up, with that expencive grin on her face  :bigsmyl:  

Nice videos  :thumbsup:  thanks for sharing.

Hey Mudd,
I'm probably not the best person at math but I thought you were going down in bow weight. You must have meant 30#'s at 90 inches. L.O.L.

You are correct Weezy but I couldn't turn down a gift. Then once I got it then I had to at least try to shoot it.
