Longhunter Longbow by Jeffrey's

[yamapup]

I had a 60 incher, about 20 years, ago due to my short draw. Man, I loved that bow. thanks, Don for confirming the existance of the 60 incher. everybody would tell me that no such bow was made, and I began to wonder if I ever had one. Last month, I saw a guy shooting one at the North Geogia Traditional archery shoot in gainesville, Ga. They need to make that bow again. Pup

Pup, they probably won't- Dan had to twist their arms to agree to make the 60" for him. That's why the warning sticker had to be put on the bow. Mine, being the prototype, doesn't have the sticker.

BTW, I shot my highest 3D score, 275/30 targets, shooting that 60" bow, pulling it 27". Shot that well one other time, shooting the 68" Bamboo Longhunter.

my buddy works at archery traditions, dans old store. and he says that they still own the patents for all the bow that jeffery made for dan. so did jeffery buy that patent?

[Don Stokes]

I never heard of a patent on Dan's bows, although I suppose it's possible. Not likely due to the expense, and it would be impractical to defend against the hundreds of similar bow designs that are out there. The Bamboo Longhunter was adapted from a bow that Jeffrey had already made; Dan made some changes to the Jeffrey bow to result in the Longhunter.

Bought one yesterday... Bubinga riser Maple core with Zebra wood veneer's. Shoots awesome, just like my old Bamboo Longhunter. I spoke with Tom about the possibility of a Bamboo core being offered, but he didn't seem real responsive to the idea... said bamboo was too expensive and hard to get. No worries though, my bow is smooth, fast, and very forgiving.

Wow, lots of memories, I worked at Quillian's back in the late 80s and have owned several longhunters, might have to get another. Chris

Longhunter prices too??????

[Flint Head]

$625 riser choices are Zebra wood, Bubinga, Walnut with a Maple limb core and Zebra veneers.
Tom also has the above risers with black and brown glass for around $575. Looked like he had  twenty or so Longhunters in stock.

Also I forgot to mention Tom had three Zebra wood risers for the Royal Hunter recurve ready to be sprayed... they looked sweet!

I have a pse sequoia longbow that someone told me jeffreys archery made.Does anyone know if thats true?

[Interseptor]

Mark, can you post pictures of your bow?  Glad to know that somebody has picked one up.

gto, Jeffreys Archery made the origianl PSE Sequoia longbow and the PSE Raven recurve in the 'heritage series'.  This was in the early '90's.  PSE kept the names for quite a few years but I don't know if Owen made the later ones or not.
