Found an old thread on here about those bows.  I have read some good things about them and seen some pictures online looking them up.  They look really nice.

Ron, Tollgate sold them for a long time....That's where the one your buying came from originally. I think your are going to be really surprised with the performance of this longbow. Everyone that has shot it was amazed how well it casts an arrow. It will be at your place soon.....lol!
In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki

Ron, you are getting an awesome bow. I started with it and think it is a flat out great performing bow!
Relax,

A Mikuta longbow was my first new Traditional bow. It performed well and was finished off very well. All in all, a very good bow for the money.

Ed Mikuta lives in Rome,NY. He makes very good bows. My first trad bow was a 3 piece TD recurve. I still have it. I had a custom longbow made and loved it. Ended up selling it to a guy on here after my shoulder surgery. Was 60lbs @ 26" and hurt my shoulder after the surgery. Wish I had kept it though that I am back to full strength

I was not worried about ron w he is a stand up guy. I was just wondering if the bowyer had a web site and was still making traditional bows. Sounds like he does some great work.
