Falco Storm Custom on Order!!!!

[Archer Dave]

Well guys, I do not know if you have heard of the Falco Archery company in Estonia, but they do  both production and custom bows.

After seeing a lot of good reviews and videos on a particular model called the Falco Storm, I decided to place a custom order with my own wood combinations and spec's.

Here is what I ordered:
Falco Storm 54" / max draw 29"
Right Hand, 45# @28"
Weight 0.8 lbs (from a personal review)
Handle - Dark Cocobolo and Madagascar Ebony Stripe
Limbs - Medium to dark Palisander

This is quite a short bow for a R/D Longbow, but I think that is what is cool about it. The reviews I have read seem to indicate that it shoots as well as many of the longer bows but just a smaller package.

It will look similar to this but with only one stripe.
     

This is a Storm as well with similar wood.
       

Here is a picture of a strung Storm but in different woods. This will give an idea of the size and shape.

       
 
I think this will make a really nice woods hunting and stump shooting bow. I am really excited about it but the only draw back is that it will be about 12 weeks before it is done and shipped.

Ah well, I think the wait will be worth it. Plus it will give me something to look forward to and day dream about for the next 3 months. Hehe.       :D

That's a really pretty bow.

Falco's are in good reputation here in finland.
And they are not over priced.
Does your bow have a carbon at limb's.

Falcos have a stellar rep in Europe.  They are surprisingly affordable/competitively priced even with the international shipping.

I had the opportunity to snag a lefty Force used recently but had to pass.  Wish I could have snagged it.

Thanks guys. Yep I am excited about it.

I did not order the carbon. I went back and forth on it because I have heard mixed results(not with Falco but other brands).

Also it seems like you only get a few fps with the carbon so I was not sure it was worth it. Do you think I should add the carbon? It is not too late I am sure.

Thanks
Dave

Add carbon ? This is an excellent question ? I am torn between with and without carbon limbs because I find the bows with carbon limbs to be more abrupt or to have more recoil and, I think for me, this extra recoil or abrupt movement of the limbs makes accuracy more difficult or makes the bow less forgiving. This is not to say I can't shoot both bows with and without carbon in the limbs accurate, just very different.

I've read and watched alot on the falco bows! They look like some awesome bows and i have seen great reviews! They are up there in the elite bows in Europe as far as I can tell. Can't wait to see it!

Dave. Just went to the Falco site. Nice bows indeed. What is the monetary designation and how does it translate into US dollars?

[Archer Dave]

He gave me a private deal that was different from the site. But the custom is listed as 235 +35 shipping to MN. So that would be 270 Euro via the site, which is about $312 with todays conversion. That is still heck of a deal for a custom shipped to your door.

The conversion a few years ago was around $500 USD, so the market is working in our favor.

That's a heck of a deal for a custom!

I have custom Falco 68" Trophy carbon, zebra and wenge and high gloss.

It was like 395€. Very affordable and excellent bows
