Dave, the first thing that stood out when I saw the pics was how you shaped the riser at the ends. Nothing turns me away from a take down like bulky end risers. Nice work!

Thanks for the comments Possum and my thoughts on the ends are the same. It is unique I think and different.
Good shooting

Dave, Looks like a winner. I will have to try one of these the next time your out to the club.

I will be at the club most Sundays running the Arctic Blast so if you come out to shoot bring one along.

Regards.

Bill

We must be living in the golden age of archery. There are so many phenomenal bowyers out there. How does one decide........

Nice bow Drew, I like the fact that your draw is so long you need two arm guards

For all that have shot the pass around static-
Do you have any final thoughts on the bows performance, shootability and just plain un-bias opinion of it? I know most people keeping up with this post are wanting to see what you guys think about these pass-around bows and myself included.
Good shooting
Dave

Dave : I think its a great shooting bow, very smooth , no hand shock and points well. I think the cast and performance is right up there with all of the best bows I have shot. The only down side for me is the physical weight , now if this was a one or two piece bow I would have to be thinking about specs. Drew

I have the bow right now and its a pleasure to shoot. This bow points very well for me, the only thing I dislike about this bow is the top part of the riser. I shot it at a traditional league last friday and most of the guys there agreed about the top part of the riser. Everyone there thought it was a great shooter and were impressed by how queit it is. The grip fits very well and the finish is top shelf. If this bow was 7-10lbs heavier it would be hard to ship it out! I was wondering and had some other guys ask about the price on this model of bow. Thanks!

HMlongbow · « **Reply #52 on:** January 08, 2013, 09:46:00 PM »

The price on this static model starts at $725 with black glass and upgrade to clear glass and veneers is $75. Type of woods would be adjusted in price as well. I think that compared to what is out there it's a great starting price. I will be looking into a one piece in the future Drew,so I will keep you posted.
Hope this helps and if there are any questions feel free to email or call me.
Good shooting

The bow was an all around success for me. Looked great, shot great, riser fit "me" very well. I did not have any negatives that jumped out at me other than the weight was a bit light for all my arrows and I had to work at getting the right arrow combo too long. That would not happen if I ordered " my' weight I'm sure. I might like to try a 60" instead of the 62 ... I have owned LOTS of bows and this was right up there with any of them. At the time I tried this one I was shooting/hunting with a Blacktail Elite VL at 50# and this bow shot every bit as well and a bit quieter.

HMlongbow · « **Reply #54 on:** January 09, 2013, 03:36:00 PM »

That's awesome guys and appreciate the feedback. I am always looking to get some feedback from others across the board. I have great feedback from our local shooters here. I have adjusted over the years in fit and performance but that is why I like the pass around to get a more rounded and un-bias opinion from afar.
Thanks for the input and good shooting,
Dave

The more I shoot this bow the more I like it! Very quiet and hit's were I look, I finally got a chance to shoot it outside and I was sending arrow after arrow through the soft spot in my 3d deer target!

HMlongbow · « **Reply #56 on:** January 10, 2013, 06:23:00 PM »

I am glad you are having success with the bow Logan. I am pleased on the design and the way it shoots. That was a year in the making with fine tuning and plenty of design redo's. I won't make it unless I like the way it shoots. I am actually shooting a 47# 62" AMO static for the circuit this winter. I am having great success with it so far and increased my first shoot from last year by 34 points. So say the least I am enjoying it the more I shoot it too...
Good shooting,
Dave

Well I do believe the bow is off to the next guy in line and that is M60gunner. The person ahead I didn't have the address and he will be next if you are following.
Good shooting,
Dave

HMlongbow · « **Reply #58 on:** January 16, 2013, 06:47:00 PM »

He should have it anytime I would assume.
Good shooting,
dave
