Why Me %^$# LongBow!!!!!!!

[Yellow Dog]

I was strictly recurves, could never find a longbow I could shoot as well as my curves. Buy one, try it, sell it, buy one, try it, sell it. I was still drawn to the longbow and it's place in archery history. Tried the "D" bows, just not for me. Couldn't find one that felt natural for me until I stumbled on a Griffin. Now the longbow was feeling a little better to me. Follow up with a bunch of Griffins, Shrews, A&H ACS's, Kanatis, Treadways and Centaurs. The new generation of hybrid longbows out there are superb. I still have a few sweet shooting curves but I made the transition to longbows and I'll never go back. Just love that barely audible Thhhmmmmppp.

Well since you said "freeer" we're gonna have to stop comparing a longbow to a woman.    

Could compare it to that favorite pair of boxers... you know... the one with the "ventilation".

Before you call Norm you might want to see if someone wants to buy your spot on the list. I imagine he's got some serious waiting time. I see ads for it in the classifieds at times. That way you won't have to lose, or ask for a refund of the deposit.

I know what you mean about the Pronghorn, love mine too, and don't even open a thread about Big Jim's bows! Lol!

I saw a beautiful Blacktail, New in box for sale on the auction site last night. I couldn't believe Snag hadn't bought it yet LOL.
