I just recieved my new Ron Foley 3pc. Longbow. It is 64" 50@28 seems to shoot good for me so far. Anybody else have one of these? Please comment on yours.

JV I wish I knew how to, I know I have all the equip. to do so but I don't know how to.I called to order a bow and he had one real close to what I wanted so I bought it. It is not a wood that I know much about but looks nice.All of my bows are pretty much osage. I have shot manny longbows in the past without much sucess.I think it is the straight grip that gets me. This one has a low wrist grip and it really does the trick. The bow is super dead in the hand and very forgiving, it is almost unreal. I will shoot it some more this week and see if it all stays like that.

I have a 60" one piece Foley Mr Steve. Not quit as forgiving as a longer  bow but still a smooth shooter.  Can't wait to see and shoot it....

Hey Kip. Yea this bow seems to be a keeper. It is smooth and stable even for my long arms. I've been trying different arrows and tunning for a couple of days and things are improving. I have shot a lot of different long bows and this one seems to fit me the best. See you around. Basinboy I think we will be at bayouland wed evening.

I've had one since 09. It's 62" and 47@28. A nice shooting bow indeed.

I spoke with Ron at the Kzoo show and had a chance to shoot a few of his bows.  Both he and his bows are top notch!!!
