Foley recurve
« on: February 13, 2008, 07:44:00 AM »
If youve never tried a Foley recurve you dont know what your missing, traded for one awhile back and have just here recently been shooting it alot, got a chance to chronograph it the other day w/arrows from 8gr.#-10gr# at alittle over 28 in. draw and its smoking fast...averaged 203 fps. w/8gr.#, 192 fps.w/9.2gr.# and 185 fps. w/10gr.#. Was shooting it last night at our 3-d dart league and buy the time it was over 2 guys were wanting to buy it, its quite, stable and has one of the best grips on a bow Ive had. If you havent shot one you owe it to yourself to, these bows will hang with the best of them out there in every department.

Dean I hear ya loud and clear. I regret the moment I ever traded my Foley off, the fastest 51# bow I have ever shot. the grip was like the Asbell grip on a widow Those sleek dirty bamboo limbs and a Rosewood wave in it, Awesome bows no doubt.

Ron is a giant among bowyers-or just about any other group. His bows are also mighty sweet.

Hey Rob that looks familiar to me too!   :bigsmyl:

It's actually Rosewood & Cocobolo

I was set up next to Ron's booth at the McAlester shoot last August.  I spent some time admiring his work and it was a pleasure to sit and talk with him and his wife.  I never shot one of his bows because I knew if I did I'd be handing him some money.
