I MADE A MISTAKE
« on: December 02, 2016, 03:41:00 PM »
Last spring the fine folks from Fox Archery  were at Trad Bowhunters of fl and I looked a Breed recurve,several times.It was a 58 inch one piece bow and I really like the looks of it but did not make the time to shoot it. Do any of you folks have one,do you like it,is it quite? Do you have any pics you can share?Thanks,Tom.

I used to have a 62" Fox Breed. It was the fastest and quietest bow I have ever shot. Top notch craftsmanship too. Unfortunately it got to be too heavy for me due to neck and shoulder problems, so I sold it. Still regret selling that bow. If you like the grip you can't go wrong with a Breed.

Yep, great bow!!! I had     :banghead:    a 52" #50@26" I killed my first buck with that bow 3 days after receiving it from Ron that was maybe in '98'. I shot a lot of deer with that bow and I miss it! I now have a 60" classic longbow that I got earlier this year and it is a fantastic bow. Ron builds a great bow!!! You will not be disappointed with any Fox bow that you choose.

I was and still am considering a Breed. An order for a Java man Assyrian won over. I have never shot either! But I will have both someday.
I plan to shoot a Breed at Baltimore this year.

I have had two 62 inch Fox Breed 2 PC. T.Ds.

They are at the very top of my list of superbly made and fine shooting 50s style recurves.

I have never shot the 58 inch one.

Ron, you actually used some restraint and didn't buy the bow?   Really?
