Horne recurve shooters????

[joe vt]

I have a Horne Mountain T/D recurve coming in very soon. The string is a 16 strand FF.

Are you Horne owners using the FF string or something else?

Here's a pic of what's coming to me........I'm just a bit excited.   :D

Joe, you should be excited,that is a beautiful looking bow. I really like the wood combo. How many finger nails do you have left? The wait is always the worst thing. I hope it is a good shooter for you.

Thought I would give the specs.

58" 48# @ 28"  Bocote/Birdseye Maple riser. Birdseye Maple limbs. mmm mmm mmm mmm good

joe,
You could easily shoot 10 or 12 strands of D97 out of that horne and pick up several fps. 1 strand of D97 has a tensile strength of 125lbs.

Joe very nice ask the bowyer for the dropoff of wood for the riser and make a Helle knife to match.That is what I am doing now I also made a tee-handle allen wrench just a thought.Kip

Mark made me a combo hunter with longbow limbs.  I use 16 strand FF and 16 Dacon strings.  Both shoot great from this bow with a 7" brace height.

hey JOE another MARK and SANDY work of art what a beautiful bow!!!!Good luck with it and many years of success. I recently receives one of their Brushbows bocote riser and cocoabola palm swell bocote veneers. Anyway as soon as I got it I went in the back yard to shoot a few with the fast flight string and without any silencers it was unbelevably quiet and really spit out an arrow.But I noticed my nocks on the arrow were real loose . So I switched over to a B-50 put on catwhiskers and couldn't beleive it got even quieter. I was never a F>F> guy always switched over to good old B-50 The couple of FPS never really impressed me.I even spoke to SANDY yesterday I'll be ordering another one soon and she said just let her know and they will put B-50 on instead.I think F>F> puts a lot more stress and wear and tear on your limbs. Hope I helped you out.Good luck with the bow.

I bought this bow used and sent it to Mark for a little weight reduction. Mark said it should be done this week. I was hoping for 48#'s but it appears she'll be 50# @28".

Thanks for your recommendations on a string.

Sweet looking bow, Joe! How many more weeks till you bring it to "the barn", I might have to make it up there.

[joe vt]

Hey Greg!

I hope to bring her next week. I haven't picked out this week's bow yet. lol

You need to come up for sure. We had upwards of 15 guys last week.
