Assenhiemer question
« on: February 21, 2014, 05:11:00 PM »
Are the limbs on these bows a working recurve?  The pictures of them I have seen look like they don't open too much.

I have two, and I call them static. However some will argue that.

I think I'd say semi-static.

VERY tight fishhook limbs. I would say semi-static. A great shooting and stringing bow built by a master bowyer and machinist.IMHO

Thanks for all the answers.  My old boss has one. He cannot shoot it anymore and dropped it by my house and asked me to "hang on to it" until he can shoot it again.  His way of gifting it to me.  I was in the semi-static opinion, but wanted others ideas.  Thanks.

I have a 62" Assenheimer I acquired earlier this year.  It's a great shooting bow.  Wish I had a couple more.

I have a couple and just put one in the classifieds. They are good bows. I bought them because they greatly resembled the Gamemaster Jet I once had. Don is a great guy. Haven't talked with him in a decade, but used to trade elk hunting stories. They are potent medicine for elk.
