Help me find this McDonald Hill Stlye bow
« on: December 26, 2015, 09:52:00 AM »


I traded or sold this bow maybe ten years ago, can't remember exactly when. It was crafted by John McDonald and is a hill style. It doesn't have any markings, is 68", and pulls around 61-63#s @ 28". The riser is bubinga and it has five or six lams of bamboo in the core with brown glass on back and belly. It's the deepest core narrow limb hill style I've ever seen. I had McDonald craft me a new one, but it isn't the same. I know it's a long shot, but I'd really love to get it back in my hands. I loved that ole bow. "Mac, please come home!"

Good luck in your quest.  I understand, I have four of John's bows and won't part with any of them.

Check out how thick those limbs are. It looks like it would pull eighty pounds. My new one, even though he crafted it with five lams, isn't near as deep cored.
