Production Bow vs Custom
« on: March 01, 2017, 01:15:00 PM »
I'm looking for a new longbow. I was looking at the Bear Ausable but the Wagstaff bows really caught my eye. And the price is not reallly much different.

A little conflicted. Have always owned production and brand names bows. Mostly Bear but a couple Pearsons and a Black Hawk that was my grandfathers that I still have.

Can't hurt to try one but would be nice if you could catch them at an event to try before you buy!

I like my custom bow(s) and my factory bow plenty.  I enjoy them all.  My Hoyt Buffalo shoots as good as anything, but my 2 bows that I've custom ordered mean more because they commemorate a special event.  I bought a Black Widow PCH as well, it was used and was custom ordered, but to me it is just another good shooter.

I do not own one, but I have shot a few Wagstaff bows and the shoot pretty much as good as they look! No one can tell you what you are going to like in a bow except you!

I really want something that is unique for me. Something that in 20 years I will look at and have memories and pass me it on but also I want and like the fact that it is made to my specs rather than a general fit to anyone.  So I ordered a Wagstaff Pendencia.  I'm stoked!

Valkyrie- I just looked at their website; I suggest you practice backflips for when your bow arrives.  What are the specifications?
