New long bow
« on: October 15, 2012, 05:56:00 PM »
I finally got a custom made long bow.
50" @ 28" AMO 72". Bamboo/yellow wood limbs with purple heart.

Local Texas maker Russel Anderson, I bought it at Santa Fe Archery.

Must say it is different, you don't hold it right and it'll smack yer hand. Do it right and it is sweeeet!
