Serial # 1 The first Legends Bows Longbow
« on: February 16, 2012, 01:27:00 PM »
we can start with some pics!
 

 


 

 

 

 

 

The new "CYCLONE" longbow by Mike Rash at Legends Bows. I am sure that these pics do not do this bow justice. It is absolutely beautiful. The grains of the wood stand out like no other I have seen. The woods are: Bamboo limbs, bobinga and curly maple with yellow heart accents.

Lets talk preformance. I was originally going to have Mike make this bow at 54lbs. Then I shot it before it was finished while it was at 60#'s and I really did not feel the weight. So finished it is 64 inchs, 60#'s at 31 inches. I shoot about 31 and 1/2 inch draw length.
Shooting my 520 grain arrows, I had 3 arrows shoot 188fps. It seems like there is no drop to the arrow out to 40yds.

I am extremely excited about this bow. It is my first venture into the longbow world and I couldnt be more happy. Mike you have nailed it on your first attemp at a longbow  :notworthy:  . I know Mike is sending out a bow for Tradgangers to use as a pass around, if you can get in on that, do it, you wont be dissappointed.

Nice!
The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.

Nice job on that bow Mike. I'm looking forward to meeting you in May at Western States rendezvous.

Congrats Ben!    :clapper:    :clapper:    :clapper:
