Fedora fans!
« on: August 29, 2013, 07:38:00 PM »
I got my lefty 560 TD Hunter osage, 44@28 bow in last night. Been in the backyard shooting, my 3555 goldtips fly good.  Sorry to say my righty Maddog LB and my lefty Maddog recurve might collect some dust or hit the classified.

I've got three.  One 560 TD Hunter 53#@27 shoots great, a little heavy in the bowhand for me.  Two D-shaped longbows, one 75# they used to call their "Ishi" bow, at 62" long; the other is their "Thee Longbow" which is 80@27 and 64" long. I had the longbows first and they shoot so great for me, that I couldn't pass up the chance to get the 560 TD for cheap.  Turns out I don't shoot it at all.

My 52# left hand Fedora is a real shooter. I shoot arrows 540-600 grains off "Lefty" and they fly fast and flat even at the longer distances. I'm really impressed with this H560's performance.

I placed an order with Mike in April for a lefty 64" 52#@29" Xtreme Longbow. I'm hoping to get a call from him soon. Based on what you guys are saying about them I should be "Xtreme"ly pleased with it.
Todd Henck Longbow 68" 58#@28"
Dave Johnson Longbow 66" 60#@27"
Northern Mist Ramer 64" 50#@27"
Northern Mist Classic 68" 52#@28"
Shrew Hill #1 "Alpha" 67" 48#@28"

What brace height do you have on your 560 TD's?  I clip my T-square on the string and the edge of the shelf is 6 3/4.  What do you all think?

Hey Kurt,

My 560 TD is over at Mike S. house.  But if I remember correctly, between the string and the deepest part of the throat is 7 3/4".
