AAHHHHH, come on Lee you know you want to.

I was able to shoot this bow at the IBO Worlds also. It was very sweet to shoot. It was quiet as a mouse, smoking fast and dead in the hand.I shot it on Friday and had to go back and shoot it some more on Saturday. It is a real pleasure to shoot. I can hardly wait to shoot it as a one piece!
Do yourself a favor and go by Bill's booth and try out his new bow!

Looks good man

Wish I could make it up there

I forgot to mention that I had the same experiance as featherhorn above, I shot very good groups also. I'm telling you you better go by and see Bill and shoot this bow!

Do those limbs fit the SXT riser?

KentuckyTJ · « **Reply #26 on:** July 25, 2011, 08:20:00 AM »

No Felix. Look at the limb butt pads. They are more parallel to the string than the SXT. The hump in the limbs gets the string back to proper brace height.

This isn't a good news Tom,another bow to buy!

Over&Under · « **Reply #28 on:** July 25, 2011, 08:59:00 AM »

Wow! Love the lines on that one!
Wish I could make it to Denton to try it out, if TJ says it is a shooter...that is enough for me!

Well done Bill!

Nice job Bill. I'd be interested in seeing a 2 piece when you get some finished. What kind of takedown system are you thinking of using?

Lee Viv · « **Reply #30 on:** July 25, 2011, 12:49:00 PM »

well, Bill...if I make it up...as long as I'm there......no harm shooting a couple arrows....yeah, right!

Well Bill looks like you have a lot ofdown time. I mean you're just working on a couple of
protos and traveling to nearly every show in the country. Why not work out a snappy 2 piece recurve while you are resting.
You're a sick man sir. My kind of people.

Your right Brant, it is a sickness!This stuff wakes me up at night thinking about it.

I have not decided 100% on the take down system for the 2 piece.It will likely either be the fiberglass sleeve or bow bolt or who knows?I do have a couple of ideas of my own to try out.

I hope you can make it Lee.We are headed out early in the a.m.
Bill

OK, so who shot the prototype at Denton and what did you think?

PSUBowhunter · « **Reply #34 on:** August 01, 2011, 07:26:00 AM »

I got a chance to take a couple of shots with it Friday afternoon. It’s a smooth shooter for sure, just like all of Bills bows. I am not a longbow guy, but was still very impressed with the new bow.

jomama · « **Reply #35 on:** August 01, 2011, 12:47:00 PM »

I shot it at Denton, it shoots like a rocket. I don't shoot longbows but this one is a good one.

Friend · « **Reply #36 on:** August 01, 2011, 01:41:00 PM »

I continually pestered Bill and his lovely wife at the IBO Worlds and am sure that I tested their patience. I must have run six different bows over two days. They sure can push an arrow.

Found the bows pleasant and accurate.

Hot Hap · « **Reply #37 on:** August 02, 2011, 12:23:00 AM »

Will there be RC limbs for this bow also?

awbowman · « **Reply #38 on:** August 02, 2011, 12:42:00 AM »

2-piece, 56", 52#s at 26" DL, foam core with carbon, small grip (round the bottom a little more similar to a LB grip).

Is this possible ?????

zipper bowss · « **Reply #39 on:** August 02, 2011, 07:36:00 AM »

We made it back from PA. last night.I already miss the cooler weather.

Will there be recurve limbs for this riser?I guess the best answer is maybe.I have already considered it,but it would requier a redesign of the recurve limbs.They are not designed for that steep of a riser angle.In other words you can not put any of our existing recurve limbs on this riser.

This bow will not be a 56"er it is not designed for it.58" would be the shortest I would ever go.Even then I would have to build one and do some testing.Changing the grip is not a problem
