Photos of an Iron Mountain I just bought!
« on: March 26, 2008, 08:57:00 PM »
Here is an Iron Mountain longbow I just bought from a friend, custom turkey call maker Danny Taylor, who had it made in 2006 by Mike Forester.  The bow specs out at 58" long, 50# at 28" draw.  The limbs are curly maple over bamboo cores.  The riser is cocobolo and the overlays and tips are cocobolo.  The bow is of course gorgeous and a beauty to shoot!   Since I hear Mike is now retired from the bow making business this may have to be a keeper to my collection!  Plus he's best friends with my other favorite bowyer and friend of mine, Mike Treadway!  Can you ever have too many bows?......No, Never!

Not to mention Mike Treadway is making me another custom bow in a few months with arrow inlays in the belly of the limbs!  Can't wait to get that one either!  I told my wife I'll have as many bows as she has purses!   LOL  :)

Someday you and I will take the Great Hart by our own skill alone, and with an arrow. And then the Little Gods of the Woods will chuckle and rub their hands and say, "Look, Brothers. An Archer! The Old Times are not altogether gone!"
