I have not shot an ElkHeart, but I know out of the other long bows I’m shooting this thing is fast! Im curious to see what it chronos when I get the chance I’ll do it and post all specs. Only two and half years into traditional now I lack experience with a multitude of bows. But I shot with a hand full of veteran traditional guys and they shot my bow as well and they all seemed very impressed with the smoothness, shoot ability, and speed of the magnum. One guy picked it up for the first time and drilled 4 arrows in the 10 ring like it was his bow. Most of these guys shoot in the lower 40 lbs range my bow is 49# @26” one veteran made the comment that it was easier and smoother to draw than he thought it would be at 49#

I'd be very interested to see the chrono results when you get them.

I've got a 56" Elkheart 47@28 that shoots like a dream. I'm so impressed with it that I'm considering a shorter Javaman in the low 50's draw weight. I would never have imagined that a short longbow could be so smooth and accurate.

Been shooting a 50” Elkheart Magnum now since around December and I’m impressed! It is fast and smooth! The grip is phenomenal! Went to a 3d shoot last weekend and everyone was enquiring. Many of them shot it and were impressed. Just a cool sweet little bow.

man, this is a beautiful little bow! what are the woods in the riser and lams? moose antler overlays? would love to see some more pics if you don't mind.
