Curly maple T/D Longbow
« on: June 15, 2013, 11:40:00 PM »
I built this bow out of the wood I had left over from a recurve. Just a nice, clean longbow. The riser is 18" and has some bubinga and black glass in it. I conferred with Kirk from Bigfoot bows a bit on this bow. It has a longer wedge than I have been using. I changed my limb pad angle and amount of reflex. It bumped up the performance 10 fps over my old design. All curly maple, stained medium walnut with 2 black walnut lams in the limb cores. 64" 44#@28".

That's really nice and reminds me of a Herb Meland Pronghorn.  Well done!!

I was thinking the same thing about it looking like a Pronghorn John. Very nice looking bow!

Never shot a pronghorn. From the looks of them they're more of a hybrid aren't they? I like the looks of a classic ref/def better. I think this style is easier to shoot, not as twitchy on release.

Love the simplicity of the lines and the riser shape. Great bow!
