everynow and then. I get to make one of these
« on: May 23, 2014, 05:58:00 PM »
While I value all of the customers that contact me and trust me to make their bows, ever so often, I get an order for one like this;

 

Plain and simple, the ones I want to keep for myself.  Walnut, brown glass, red elm limbs, all American, and 60" long, 55# @ 28", fast and quiet, to sum it up perfect. (In my simple way of looking at things, it's perfect anyway)

I have only been doing this traditional thing for one year now but I have noticed that the bows that seem to attract most archers are the pretty ones.

Recently I traded bows with a fella who told me that he would also pack me a little surprise to ship with the traded bow.  It was a very plain jane looking Maple Valley Carbon longbow ( it won't even come up on google) but boy does that bow shoot.  Haven't touched my Slammer or Buffalo since I got it.

Beauty is in the eye of the bow-holder I guess.

Mike

Is that your prairie predator???

What do you recommend for 28.5" draw as far as length.

Yes it's a prairie predator.  It can be draw to 29".  I mark it @ 28", it seem like "the thing to do" these days.

Don't let that "simple bow" fool you, I bet it'll really send an arrow.
