Help me Id this longbow
« on: November 25, 2007, 04:20:00 PM »
If anyone knows the name of this longbow, I would appreciate knowing. It is a quality longbow, some r/d. It appears someone has refinished it, and some of the writing has been removed.

You might be correct, but the complex laminations in the riser does not indicate that to me.

I think it looks a little like a Fischer longbow, but it's been a while since I've seen one to compare it to, so I might be way off base.

My guess is JD Berry, too.

Could be a Berry.Are the limbs trappezoid on the belly.How bout a picture of the shelf side of riser and the bow full length unstrung to get a better look.

I own two berry bows and thought the same. The tip just doesn't seem to have his quality

Riser design sure looks like a JD Berry, something along the lines of a Scorpion.  The tips are not typical of JD's but I have seen them similar.
